Mathew George, Co - Founder of Maia Organics, About Art of Simplicity in Skincare For Him

In a bustling café nestled in the heart of the city, Mathew George, the co-founder of Maia Organics, shares his thoughts on self-care and skincare. A visionary in the beauty industry, Mathew’s approach is refreshingly straightforward, perfectly aligning with the dynamic lives of modern men. We sat down with him to delve into his simple yet effective skincare routine and the philosophy that drives Maia Organics.

**Arvin:** Mathew, it’s great to meet you! As a co-founder of Maia Organics, how did your journey in skincare begin?

**Mathew:** My journey ignited with an unwavering passion for natural ingredients and a bold vision to transform skincare. I've always been enchanted by the concept that beauty should be pure, uncomplicated, and deeply rooted in nature. Recognizing a delightful gap in the market, I envisioned products that beautifully combine efficacy with simplicity—crafted to nurture skin without compromising its integrity. 

With an active lifestyle at the forefront of my mind, I sought to create a line that embodies this ethos, allowing individuals to embrace their natural beauty without the burden of heavy, artificial additives. Clean skincare is not just a trend; it's a commitment to self-love and authenticity. I believe that everyone deserves access to products that not only enhance their radiance but also align with their values, promoting a holistic approach to beauty and well-being.

** Arvin:** Would you say simplicity is a key element of your skincare philosophy?

**Mathew:** My philosophy revolves around the art of minimalism. In this fast-paced world, having an efficient routine that delivers results is paramount. I prioritize quality products over excessive regimens. It's all about discovering what works best for you and focusing on the essentials that elevate your beauty.

** Arvin:** Can you walk us through your daily skincare routine? 

**Mathew:** Absolutely! My morning routine kicks off with a refreshing gentle face wash, followed by a revitalizing shower. Next, I enhance my complexion with a face oil, adding a radiant, natural glow to my skin. For body care, I reach for almond body oil immediately after my shower, ensuring deep hydration. Twice a week, I indulge in a clay purifying mask for that extra touch of luxury.

** Arvin:** Sun protection is a non-negotiable, isn’t it?

In our range, we proudly offer a natural sun protection product - Aloe Vera gel, formulated with soothing aloe vera and nourishing oils—an exceptional alternative to conventional sunscreens. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of SPF; it’s a non-negotiable part of my daily routine.

** Arvin:** Many men struggle to find the time for skincare. Do you have any tips for integrating it into a busy lifestyle?

**Mathew:** I get that—time can be a challenge. I recommend establishing a quick routine that takes no more than five minutes. Choose versatile products that perform multiple functions, so you’re not bogged down with too many steps. Just a few quality products can make a world of difference.

** Arvin:** How do you balance your personal self-care with your professional commitments?

**Mathew:** For me, self-care is part of my overall wellness routine. It’s about prioritizing time for myself, whether through skincare, exercise, or simply revisiting the things I love. It’s a continuous journey, and I aim to create a culture within Maia Organics that values self-care both personally and professionally.

** Arvin:** What is your evening routine like? 

**Mathew:** In the evenings, I usually opt for a slightly richer hydration or an overnight Aloe-Vera mask from our range, what  include Vitamin E as well.  My skin works hard while I sleep, so I like to aid that process. It's my way of resetting and rejuvenating after a long day, and it feels indulgent yet necessary.

** Arvin:** Your philosophy promotes holistic health. Can you share how lifestyle factors into your skincare?

**Mathew:** Definitely! Good hydration, a balanced diet, and regular exercise all play a pivotal role in how my skin looks and feels. Skincare isn’t just surface-level; it’s deeply connected to how we treat our bodies and minds. I encourage everyone to approach it from a holistic perspective.

** Arvin:** What’s next for you and Maia Organics?

**Mathew:** We’re committed to expanding our product range while maintaining our core values of simplicity and effectiveness. Our goal is to continue innovating and making clean, organic skincare accessible for everyone—because self-care should be a joy, not a chore.

** Arvin:** Thank you, Mathew. Your insights into skincare are truly inspiring!

**Mathew:** Thank you for having me, It’s been a pleasure sharing my journey and philosophy. Here’s to embracing simplicity in skincare for everyone!
