Stamina Cosmetics by DR MBK was inspired during the challenging year of 2020. During this year we have all experienced difficulties and disharmony in our lives. That also includes our overall health and in particular, our skin health. Skin problems also affect our appearance and confidence, which influence our general well-being.  

Early during the Covid-19 pandemic, I have noticed many of my patients suffering with maskne and how it negatively impacted their quality of life. In my dermatology clinic, I have realized that there is a safe and effective ingredient, hypochlorous acid, that can be used to improve maskne. At that point I decided to develop an accessible skincare line that can overcome this challenging skin condition, Stamina Cosmetics. This cosmetic line is envisioned to help with skin resilience. 

As I developed Stamina, I also realized how much this year disrupted our inner mind-body connection. My goal with Stamina Cosmetics is to provide inspiring affirmations to remind us to maintain grit and re-establish the very fragile mind-body relationship. I really hope that with Stamina’s creation, we can come closer to life’s health and beauty balance.
