Sammi Lim, 36, CEO in real estate; and mother Sally Wong, 62, homemaker
How has your mother influenced you in terms of beauty?
Sammi Lim (SL) My mum is quite the skincare guru. From young, I saw how she takes care of her skin—from head to toe—and she encouraged me to start my skincare regimen early on.
The best advice she has imparted to me is to cleanse thoroughly no matter how tired I am and to always keep my skin moisturised and protected. She also believes that beauty works from both inside and out, so she would often boil herbal soup for the family and remind us to stay hydrated.
These tips have been a big influence in my beauty routine for the last 20 years, and now I’m the one who shares new products and beauty knowledge with her.
What are your plans for Mother's Day?
SL Our family plans to have an intimate gathering at home this Mother’s Day, when we will cook up a feast with all of Mum's favourite dishes. Simple family moments like these are what my mum treasure the most.
What treatment do you want to pamper your mum with at the SK-II Boutique Spa?
SL My mum would love a soothing facial anytime! We make an effort to go to the spa together once a week for weekend bonding. I like the refreshing Senze Oxygenated Facial for myself, and the wellness Senze Vitality Facial for Mom.
What do you enjoy most about being a mother?
Sally Wong (SW) I love how my kids remind me of how wonderful life is. Watching them learn and grow, and seeing how they have blossomed through the years have made me feel that motherhood is a journey that can never be replaced.
Your favourite way to wind down and relax:
SW Going for a good massage and relaxing facial.
What is the most memorable celebration that Sammi has given you?
SW On my 60th birthday, Sammi threw me a surprise dinner party with all our relatives. I was so shocked and surprised when I walked into the private dining hall that tears of joy welled in my eyes immediately.
