My skin underwent tough times when I first settled in Singapore in 2009. It deteriorated quickly and became more sensitive and congested due to the weather and climate. It felt as if I was wrapped up in dirt all the time.

At its worst, I was recommended by a friend to Folke Skincare (The Natural Skin Clinic, then). Bearing no high hopes, I decided to give it a shot. After the first two sessions, my skin was already clearer, softer, and radiant, as if a layer of undesirable skin had been lifted from my face. I was surprised!

A regretful story about my skin has to be a course of invasive treatment which I did with a medical clinic. The blemishes did not fade and multiplied in addition to developing more sensitised skin. Thankfully, Folke managed to re-condition my skin.

The treatments I received at Folke Skincare are still one of the best I have experienced. I often get mistaken as the elder sister of my 10-year-old daughter. My appearance and cheery outlook were the fruit of constant self-care and good mental health. With healthy skin, it is hard not to wake up in a good mood every day!

We cannot defy aging, but we certainly have the choice to embrace it and age gracefully. We can choose to live with motivation and a positive mindset.
