Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you came to Shanghai.
I’m from Hamburg, Germany. My boyfriend and I moved to Shanghai in late 2017.

Keeping Your Skin Healthy This Winter
Skin is a vital protective organ, especially as weather gets colder. Outdoors, our skin shields us from the cold, rain, wind, and pollution.
