Michelle Chen Founder and CEO of RARE SkinFuel
From homemaker to designer, merchandiser to project manager, Michelle Chen has done it all. She began her entrepreneurial journey working at Silicon Valley startups at the age of 16, climbing her way up various ladders and learning what it takes to get an idea off the ground. After building three successful businesses with her husband, Chen felt a desire to branch off on her own to start a business that would share her passion for skincare with others. Thus, RARE SkinFuel was born – a brand that aims to empower women at every stage of their lives. Find out more at rareskinfuel.com
Favourite family-friendly day out in Hong Kong? We spend a lot of time hanging out at Maggie and Rose. We don’t have any other family in Hong Kong and Danica is an only child, so every weekend we will arrange playdates with other families. This way Danica will always be around kids her age and we as parents can also have our time with friends and share parenting experiences.
Favourite place to shop in Hong Kong? Bookazine is my favorite place to shop, it has Danica’s favourite toys, party supplies and many many great books.
about her Chen moved to Hong Kong in 2011 and lives with her husband, their five year old daughter Danica and 10 year old shih tzu Dan Dan.
