Mia Samtani, co-founder of gender-neutral beauty brand Glowgear Pro, offers advice on self-care—from keeping skin in tip-top shape to finding balance for the mind
Mia Samtani wants everyone to take the power of self-care into their own hands.
The Hong Kong-based entrepreneur is well-versed in the topic: in 2019, she established the gender-neutral beauty brand Glowgear Pro, which offers a variety of gadgets for skincare. Alongside trendy devices such as quartz and jade face rollers, the company released a new microcurrent and LED light therapy device this year.
Samtani had originally studied dentistry at the University of Bristol, graduating in 2017. But when she later moved back to Hong Kong, life took her down a different path. “The pollution and lifestyle took a toll on my skin and I developed adult-onset acne,” she says. This experience, which Samtani calls “a beautiful curveball”, played an integral role in the launch of her company—she wanted to help others faced with the same issue, and “create products that are for everyone.”
For the last few months, Samtani spent time practicing self-care at home through a combination of skincare products, meditation and nutrition. And though Hong Kong’s social distancing restrictions have now been eased, it is important to retain self-care routines during downtime at home.
Here, she shares her tips on improving skin health, mindfulness—and her favourite health foods to snack on.
