20 questions on beauty with Violet Awo Amoabeng, CEO of Skin Gourmet | Pulse Ghana

Arthur Portia

In an exclusive interview with Pulse.com.gh Violent disclosed that she saw a problem and established luxurious brand, skin gourmet from natural products which has incredible beauty and health benefits.

“Beauty has become toxic, shallow and self-centred in a world that is becoming more

driven by profit that benefits the small segment of those who have to leave the majority

without. Beauty is now defined by shallow social media images that are unrealistic, self-centred,

materialistic disconnected and unconcerned with health, well – being and true humanity

So we came up with the solution:

SKIN GOURMET - RAW handmade skincare sourced in the WILD of Ghana and so PURE you can eat it. Skincare that goes beyond the product. Redefining beauty and bringing it back into focus and truth. Beauty that is inclusive”, she revealed.

Delving into the challenges of establishing a business in Ghana, Violent disclosed that  “the biggest challenge I had to get over and I am currently getting over is myself. I don’t believe that there is any challenge to business in any specific location. I believe the challenge is us and resides in us.

It’s all about how you see the situation, is it a problem or a challenge? It’s a challenge and challenges are meant to be overcome and to make us stronger and better than before once we overcome them. It is up to us to change our perception, to stop making excuses, to look beyond our weakness and our perception of inability. So no, there are no challenges in establishing a business in Ghana. The only challenge is in ourselves”.

Below is how Violet Awo Amoabeng wowed us with her in-depth knowledge on beauty and lifestyle.

Define beauty and style

I believe that beauty is found in love. If there is no love in it – it cannot be beautiful.

Beauty does not envy, it does not boast,

Beauty is not proud, it does not dishonour others,

Beauty is not self – seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Beauty does not delight in what is wrong but rejoices with the truth.

Beauty always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Style is what you make of the beauty within you – how you express it.

Style is defined by the person who possesses it.

I define style as being authentic and original. Being you – that’s stylish.

What is your morning rituals/ routine?

What is your beauty philosophy?

Good skincare is not just about the products you use on your body but how it affects you and the world around it.

Our products are so pure that you can EAT them.

That’s because what you put on your skin ends up in your body and what you put in your body ends up on your skin and on your mind.

Do you believe in beauty standards?

How do you keep your skin flawless? Share tips with us.

Firstly, my skin is not flawless – nothing is. I deal with breakouts like anyone else and I’m cool with that – it’s normal and a breakout does not make me less of a person. If anything, it reminds me that I am human. Chale, it’s normal.

However, I do my best to prevent it from happening by:

1. Washing my face twice a day – With our Skin Gourmet Tea Tree Black Soap

2. Exfoliating with our edible skincare

3. Moisturizing with our edible skincare

6. Reduce the consumption of meat and animal products (Forks over Knives)

7. Focus on positive things, dodge the negative ones.
