Qoolness: From a Lifetime of Eczema Struggles to a Skincare Brand That Finally Gets It

As a child, I never knew what it felt like to wake up refreshed. Sleep was a battle I fought every night, my skin an itchy battlefield of raw patches, endless scratching, and frustration. Eczema wasn’t just something I "had"—it defined my childhood.

I remember one night in particular—one that still makes me wince. My mom, desperate to stop me from scratching, wrapped my hands in bandages before bed. The idea was simple: if I couldn’t use my nails, I couldn’t tear my skin apart in my sleep.

But by morning, those bandages had fused to my skin. The puss and rawness had created a cruel adhesive. My mom, trying to remove them as gently as she could, reached for a pair of scissors to cut the bandages away.

Then it happened.

The scissors slipped—and instead of freeing my skin, the blade stabbed straight into the back of my hand.

I screamed. She gasped. And in that moment, we both realized how helpless we were against this relentless skin condition.

I still have the scar to this day—a small, permanent reminder of a time when I felt trapped in my own skin.

That was my reality. A life of stinging creams, restless nights, and skin that never seemed to heal.

And makeup? Forget about it. The thought of layering products over my already angry, sensitive skin felt like adding fuel to the fire.

For years, I believed my skin was broken beyond repair—that no matter what I did, I would always be the itchy girl with scars and inflammation.

Breaking Free: How I Finally Overcame Eczema

It took me decades to break free from that mindset. And the answer wasn’t found in a magic cream—it was found in mindfulness and nutrition.

🔹 Mindfulness Practices: The more I studied the connection between stress and inflammation, the more I realized that my skin was a reflection of my inner world. The more I stressed, the worse my eczema flared. When I finally embraced deep breathing, stress management, and self-care, I noticed a shift. My body was no longer in a constant fight-or-flight state, and my skin stopped attacking itself.

🔹 Nutritional Changes: I stopped treating my eczema as just a skin problem and started treating it as an internal imbalance. Working with my husband, a functional nutritionist, I learned that my gut health was deeply tied to my skin health. I focused on anti-inflammatory foods, essential fatty acids, and gut-healing nutrients. Over time, my skin transformed—the relentless itchiness was gone, the inflammation faded, and for the first time, I felt comfortable in my own skin.

But just when I thought I had it all figured out, menopause hit.

Why I Created Qoolness: A Skincare Brand That Understands

Menopause introduced a new challenge—my skin, once oily and inflamed, became dry, thin, and dull. Traditional skincare didn’t cut it. My skin craved deep nourishment, but I refused to slather on chemical-laden creams filled with empty promises.

That’s why I created Qoolness—not just as a brand, but as a solution for women like me. Women who have struggled with their skin their entire lives. Women who feel let down by the beauty industry’s endless one-size-fits-all approach.

I didn’t want just another trendy skincare brand. I wanted something science-backed yet rooted in wisdom—a brand that optimizes active ingredients to work with the skin, not against it.

That’s where my husband comes in. As a functional nutritionist, he’s spent years studying how modern nutritional science can amplify traditional Asian skincare wisdom. Together, we’ve developed Qoolness, a skincare line designed to support aging, menopausal, and dry skin using:

✔ Potent natural ingredients that deeply nourish
✔ Time-tested Asian remedies for skin healing
✔ Cutting-edge functional nutrition insights that address skin health from the inside out

More Than a Brand—A Revolution for Women Who Deserve Better

Qoolness is for women who have been overlooked. Women who have spent too many nights scratching their skin raw, too many years feeling like their skin is a constant problem to fix.

I see you. I am you.

And I want you to know—your skin is not broken. It just needs the right support, the kind that mainstream beauty brands rarely acknowledge.

If you’ve ever felt like no skincare brand truly understands your journey, I built Qoolness for you.

This isn’t just skincare. This is a movement.
