Content Strategy
Maya utilizes a mix of high-aesthetic Reels featuring ASMR product applications and raw, unfiltered Stories discussing daily skin wins and fails. She posts 4 times a week on the main feed. Her content pillars revolve around 'Ingredient Deep Dives,' 'Save vs. Splurge' comparisons of high-end and drugstore products, and her popular 'Monthly Empties' reviews where she gives final verdicts on finished products.
