and the benefits of collagen

Mariel Fernández Co-Founder of Sesen

Biography

I am a businesswoman, investor, and business consultant, but above all, I am a Co-Founder of Sesēn Company. I am a lover of holistic wellness, which is why I studied and became a certified Brain specialist and habit coach. I believe that supplements, food, and the mind-brain-body connection are the keys to achieving concrete goals.

 

What led you to entrepreneurship? And how did the idea for your business come about?

They say that luck is when opportunity meets preparation, and I believe that is exactly how it was in our case. When, by twists of fate, the opportunity for Sesēn arrived, we put all our knowledge and effort into professionalizing ourselves and sharing with the people of our country the benefits of a product that, until then, few people knew about.


What is the philosophy of SESĒN?

Sesēn is a brand that, from the beginning, had a very clear vision and set of goals: To be an honest brand that helps improve the lifestyle of its consumers in Mexico and the world.

How important is collagen in our lives? What are its benefits?

Collagen plays a fundamental role in our lives, as it is the most abundant protein in our body and has various functions. It is essential for the health of our skin and all the body's systems, even though people only associate it with beauty. However, from the age of 21, our body stops producing the same amount of collagen, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, poor flexibility and joint mobility, leaky gut, among others. So, by taking high-quality collagen peptides like Sēsen’s, you can counteract these effects. The benefits to the body are incredible; it helps support the digestive and cardiovascular systems, as well as gut health.

Would you recommend that everyone take supplements?

Without a doubt, yes, but it is not the same for everyone. The diet we have today is very deficient, as food lacks many nutrients. There are supplements that we should practically all consume, such as magnesium, collagen, vitamin C, and others that are much more specific for very particular issues and specific deficiencies that must be measured with biomarkers.


In the long term, where would you like to get to?

We have an extraordinary product that we want to share; therefore, our vision is to take it to every corner of the world.

-Relationship with beauty:

What is beauty to you and how do you live it in your routine?
For me, beauty goes far beyond the physical; it is a state of consciousness. I like to connect with beauty in different ways: meditating, working in nice spaces, dressing how I like, eating things that nourish me, and with routines and practices that connect me with this energy of beauty in everything I do.

What or who inspires you in your day-to-day life?
I think it's not a "who," I think it's a "how." My inspiration always comes from versions of myself in expansion and fully realized.

Who are your beauty icons?
My grandmother, precisely from this country, so coming to Spain was not only a professional achievement, but also a personal one. She was a person who always conducted herself in the maximum expression of beauty in every sense of her life.

What is the best advice you have ever been given?
Haste is not elegant.

 

-Beauty Questionnaire:
What is your care routine?

My skincare essentials: Day, a good vitamin C and a good sunscreen. Night, a potent retinol and a moisturizer.

My supplement essentials: Obviously collagen, berberine, D3+K2, and omega 3.

My essential habits: Consuming plenty of dark leafy greens, efficient hydration (with electrolytes), exercise, and good rest.

 

An infallible trick or product
My Sesēn collagen; I can't live without it. I take two scoops a day and I alternate between the Silver and the Pink; it is a marvel what it has done for my body.

How do you take care of your beauty from the inside?
I do Kundalini every day, my supplements are the backbone of my habit routine, and I am very careful about what I eat.
