My name is Kiara and I am a 23 years old full-time aesthetician student and part-time content creator. I love travelling and I have a passion for people.
Thanks so much for sitting down with us, we're so happy you're here. You’ve spoken openly about your skin journey on your page. What made you start documenting your skin?
What made me start my journey was simply because I felt like I've been hiding behind a mask on social media. I was always using heavy filters that did not show who I really was. I looked beautiful through it, but in reality I was struggling with my skin. Because of that, I felt like I owed it to the people to be real and from there, the rest was history.
Have you always cared for your skin? Was there a moment or time in your life that propelled you into self-care?
I only started caring for my skin when I started experiencing acne. I never really knew what to do with it until I was forced to figure it out because of my skin condition. It was through taking care of my skin that I learned to take care of myself.
We know that you're all about maintaining and supporting mental and physical wellness so what are some words of affirmation you tell yourself or others when feeling down?
Whenever I am down, I tell myself (and others) that all things work together for the good. Whether good or bad things are happening, at the end of the day, they all work together for the good. Another one would be that I am more than the current struggle/situation I am experiencing.
What’s currently in your bag (beauty and non-beauty related)? What can’t you leave the house with?
In my bag are: card holder, keys, lotion, sanitizer, lip balm, eye glasses. I can't leave the house without almost all of these, but most particularly, lip balm.

From Miracle 10, I love the acne/oily skin kit. I use Cleanser II, Solution I, AHA Gel I, Light Serum. I can't choose one as a favourite because I LOVE all of them. I also have been doing the Miracle 10 Lactic Acid peels every 4 weeks. Definitely a dream to do a collab / be a partner!
Here at Miracle 10, we love to define a Glow Getter as someone who isn’t afraid to be their true, authentic self. In your words, what does it mean to be a Glow Getter?
To be a glow getter is simply to be 1) real and 2) be kind to yourself and others.
