After a long career as a professional wrestler and fitness and figure competitor, Amanda “Mandy Rose” Saccomanno knows all about inspiring strength and beauty. For her, it’s all about being confident in your own skin.

After spending years on the road and recognizing the importance of a skincare regimen, Saccomanno partnered with fellow entrepreneur Jas Mathur to create a skincare line.

With the help of Mathur (chairman and CEO of Limitless X Holdings), Amarose Beauty launched in 2021. The line includes skincare essentials like cleanser, moisturizer and eye gel as well as skin tag remover.

HAPPI: What prompted Amarose Beauty?

Saccomanno: I was traveling on the road for eight years, and that schedule is pretty demanding. You’re away from your home, sometimes you sacrifice things, like your health, and, unfortunately, your skincare. I wanted to make sure I stayed on top of it as much as my demanding and busy schedule allowed.

When I met Jas Mathur, who is my partner at Amarose, he always wanted to create a skincare line and I always wanted to create a skincare line—so there’s common ground there. He has a lot more experience in the e-commerce world. He already has a bunch of brands. So, it was a great combination, for me being the face, and with my following and all the people that I’m around in WWE and fitness… it definitely was something that I always been inspired to do.

I’m huge on self-care, a big advocate. Not just being in WWE, but my whole lifestyle has always been about taking care of my body—not only the physical aspect of it, but mentally. I’ve been a huge advocate about that because I feel like if you don’t have self-care, how are you going to care for others? If you’re not happy with yourself, how are you going to be happy with anyone else?

HAPPI: What was your first brush with a skincare routine?

Saccomanno: I grew up with three older brothers, they were pretty harsh, and I was a bit of a tomboy. So, when I started to get into the beauty side of things, the more feminine things, I did it alone in my room because I was always with a bunch of boys. But my mom was always involved in beauty and skincare. She worked retail for years for Clinique and Estée Lauder.

I was probably 13 where I started to use skincare. I was using all random things though. I honestly didn’t have a great routine until Amarose. I don’t know if it was just something that I couldn’t give time to—like really focusing on what works best with my skin…but I think I was just always trying different things. My mom would bring home so many samples, I would always try different products. It was kind of all over the place.

I’ve really focused on such a strict routine and regimen for a few years now, and I’ve noticed such a difference in my skin because of that consistency and using the same products that I know work for me.
