Celebrity Life

Shanyan Fok Koder and Richard Bassett explain how a Hong Kong art entrepreneur joined forces with a former special-forces soldier to launch a health and mental wellbeing app, Mentor360.

"Mental health and mental fitness are universal concerns," says Shanyan Fok Koder. "And regardless of your demographic, social status, your job or your age, it’s something everyone has to deal with."

Shanyan Fok Koder & Richard Bassett on Mental Health App Mentor360

The Mentor360 app dropped on World Mental Health Day in October, the cumulation of the last 20 months of work and conversations (usually across continents over Zoom) between former military man Richard Bassett and worldly art advisor Koder. A month later, I’m sitting with both in a North London café talking over slices of pizza.

Their app, they hope, offers everyone a holistic 360 guide and framework to “finding your formula” for mental and physical wellbeing. It uses a hybrid approach, with a core layer of clinicians and professional Mentors and then celebrity Ambassadors (who’ve publicly shared meaningful life stories) critical for building noise and momentum.

"I’d been in the military for a long time. And there were a couple of incidents in my life that made me want to create something," Bassett, the CEO, explains. "Firstly, it was my father committing suicide. Then my son had a bit of misdirection. And several of my friends in the military had PTSD issues or adjustment disorders."

"The biggest issue is why people wouldn’t come forward and say they’ve got a problem?” he asks.

“Unlike some apps, we’re not trying to get people hooked. Come on to it when you need it”

— Richard Bassett

The answer often lay in culture, lack of education or concerns about privacy that prevent many from seeking help. With that came Bassett’s idea of creating an app that functions as a “non-judgmental toolkit” with content validated by experts – who include coaches, performance psychologists, mental health-specialising nurses and a clinical psychologist.

Basset’s link with Koder came when his best friend, ex-special forces colleague and TV star Jason Fox, sat next to a pregnant Koder at a charity fundraiser for Born (which researches to prevent premature birth) in late 2019. As the pair talked about their passions for mental health and children’s wellbeing, the connection to Bassett’s idea became quickly apparent.

"Foxy told me that I have to meet his friend, Richard, who’s building this app," Koder recalls. "I was always wanting to support things that are very meaningful and close to my heart … and now Jason is actually our key mentor. The partnership between Richard and I was almost like two parts of a jigsaw puzzle come together."

Although some might go to the app for help with stress, trauma or even resources to help with suicidal feelings, Mentor360 is designed specifically as a three-dimensional offering that will also encourage fitness, workouts, performance and meditation or more clinical matters.

"We wanted to maintain the human factor as a constant throughout. So it feels like somebody has given you some advice rather than some process-driven machine learning," Bassett adds.

The co-founders might come from two different worlds, but the unlikely partnership speaks to the ubiquity of the issues at hand. Bassett’s 25-year military career saw him being appointed the first ever Command Sergeant Major within the UK Special Forces military group. "It was at that stage where I was asked if I wanted to run defence,” he says. “At that point, I thought, I’ve kind of had my fill of the military now, it’s time to move on."

Koder meanwhile grew up in Hong Kong and the UK as the daughter of Li Ka-shing’s "right-hand man" Canning Fok, carving out a career in the arts and taking over her family’s impressive collection. As a female art entrepreneur and mother, her challenges would be different.

"When I had the misfortune of losing three babies to miscarriage and dealing with that emotional fallout, it led me to want to support this as a cause," Koder divulges. "If there’d been something like this app available to me, I don’t think I’d have suffered as much as I did emotionally. It’s a topic that’s still very taboo, even in this day and age … and while you eventually find your own community, at the very beginning, you do feel very alone."

Both were clearly driven towards the app through deeply personal experiences. Bassett saw first-hand how soldiers who’d done several tours in Iraq and Afghanistan suffered – his best friend, Fox, had left the forces with PTSD. Perhaps machismo or fear of institutional repercussions meant that the issue was often ignored or hidden in the military – but he hopes that Mentor360’s holistic approach can gently lead people to explore mental fitness alongside physical performance too.

The male-female perspectives of the pair offer a well-rounded, powerful tool. And while the wellness space is already crowded, Mentor360 stands out by being so broad, human-focused and non-prescriptive.

There’s been exciting traction too. Since its launch, the app has been downloaded in more than 176 countries, with the UK, the US and Australia leading. British schools have reached out and it’s one governance board away from being trialled within the National Health Service (NHS), which means added clinical risk management in the app. That has been an important validation, says Bassett, "especially when an institution like that has picked it out from a huge spectrum of apps on the market today."

Covid-19 and lockdowns have helped throw light on mental health, taking the conversation more mainstream. The timeliness has hit home; as Bassett says, “there’s a lot of people now struggling with the transition between Covid and normality”.

Koder tells us that the plan is to serve individuals but also institutions such as the NHS and the military. There’s also the option of “white labelling” it, so the app can be packaged and tailored to certain industries or corporate employees. In the future, might they look more global, with different languages and translations? Absolutely, the pair say, but they’re taking it “slow and steady”. There’s been interest from American corporations and Koder says that she’s keen to push into Asia very soon. Although going truly global might mean translating for languages, cultures and tone, as well as working with diverse psychologists, it remains a future ambition.

Mentor360 may be extra helpful in cultures where mental health is still relatively taboo. As Koder says, "I think, coming from our Asian culture, it speaks volumes to me – so much of our culture is about still performance or hiding a lot of what you’re feeling."

"Unlike some apps,” Bassett adds, "what we’re not trying to do is create a hook or get people hooked. Come on to it when you need it, and if you don’t need it for a while because you’re good, you can just put it away … We’re starting to see those patterns in the trend analysis."

To get a little personal, I ask what works for them individually to keep a healthy mind and body. Bassett’s formula revolves around daily exercise, time with the family, dogs and good sleep – even the occasional glass of wine on the sofa in front of a crackling fireplace. Koder’s happiness hacks centre around motherhood, being content and at peace in her skin, and looking at life with a certain romanticism: "I always love to see the poetry in my day,” she says, "and I think it’s important to just pause throughout the day, check-in and acknowledge that I’ve achieved these things and I should be proud of myself, rather than just rushing on to the next thing."

This month, we’re introducing our favourite newly launched products to add to your beauty arsenal. From your holy grail must-haves to the industry’s latest and greatest, explore our roundup of everything you’ve wanted to try, and other things you never knew you needed… until now.

Hot summer days are properly setting in, and whether you love or loathe the heat, a beauty switch-up is in order. From swapping in breezier skincare to adding a gentle daily exfoliant in the shower, or experimenting with new colours for the season; here’s our definitive list of our top shelf products this June.

Wildsmith

New kid on the block in the beauty department is Wildsmith, the British skincare brand focused on delivering high performance products using clinically proven bioactive plant ingredients. Developed in England and making its Hong Kong debut now, Wildsmith is the first on the market that is all about radical botany and a targeted delivery system. A favourite back in its hometown, and now here, the Active Repair Platinum Booster encapsulates oxygen which is the key ingredient that helps with the metabolic process of collagen productivity and healing purposes. The platinum delivery system uses a powerful peptide that penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin which produces elastin too. This booster is great for days when feeling dehydrated or tired, as it pumps and plumps the skin with hydration for an instant surge of nutrients to the skin.
HK$1,720/30ml

Valmont Microbiome Series

Microbiome science is the biggest thing in skincare since hyaluronic acid. Valmont’s new Primary collection has been formulated around pre- and probiotics to promote the balance of the skin’s ecosystem. Using “friendly” skin-nurturing bacteria, the skin is fuelled with nutrients that promote cell development which leads to rejuvenated skin. The collection includes an Initial Prepping Mist, Targeted Blemish Treatment, Initial Anti-redness Repairing Serum, Initial Shooting Cream and a Rich Replenishing Balm. Our go-to is the Prepping Mist, a spray that is suitable for all skin types and can be used throughout the day (pre, during and post-makeup). The result is a feeling of instant refresh, thanks to its formulation which promotes balance in the hydrolipidic film on the skin and intercellular cement to trap hydration within the skin.
Primary Veil (Initial Prepping Mist) HK$880/150ml
Primary Solution (Targeted Blemish Treatment) HK$1,380/20ml
Primary Serum (Initial Anti-redness Repairing Serum) HK$1,540/30ml
Primary Cream (Initial Soothing Cream) HK$1,500/50ml
Primary Promade (Rich Replenishing Balm) HK$1,980/50ml

L'Occitane Shampoo & Conditioner

The worst hair season is upon us. Weighted down and clumped up by humidity, good hair days seem like a distant memory and are now months away. Though we are still on the lifelong quest to find that miracle product, L’Occitane’s Almond Shampoo and Conditioner doesn't do too badly. In fact, it is one of our most recent favourites. The scent is fresh, it cleanses the hair and scalp while leaving a sense of light and airy freshness, and most importantly, leaves the hair easy to comb either wet or dry. The almond oil component is a natural hair detangler, making fried and frizzled hair smoother and easier to manage.
Almond Shampoo HK$180/240ml
Almond Conditioner HK$190/240ml

La Prairie Concealer

Another product straight out of the Skin Caviar Complexion Lab Atelier (where all the caviar magic happens at La Prairie) is new Skin Caviar Perfect Concealer. Infused with caviar water and caviar extract for its lifting and firming properties, the serum-based formula nourishes the skin while offering the right amount of coverage. It comes with two interchangeable applicators – a cooling metal tip ring for a light massage to rid under-eye puffiness and a round-edge brush that can conceal by reaching all surfaces from any angle.
HK$1,470/6ml

Dior Hydra Life Matte Dew Hydration Sorbet Droplet Emulsion

To beat the summer heat, hydration is key. Dior’s answer is a concoction that combines three key actions for healthy, plump skin: hydration boost, mattifying finish and deep treatment. Using its Nobel-winning discovery of Aquaprins, Dior Science has extracted the essential proteins in Anjou to help play the role of “channels” in the skin, enabling water to circulate fluidly from one cell to another. Freshen up anytime of the day with velvety formula which not only delivers hydration, but absorbs excess sebum to keep oil and shine at bay.
HK$550/50ml

Clarins Everlasting Youth Fluid Foundation SPF15 / PA+++

Clarins’ best-selling Extra-Firming Cream has pretty much claimed top-shelf status since its launch two years back. Using the formula as a base, Clarins has developed a foundation to go with it, the Everlasting Youth Fluid Foundation SPF15/PA+++. Fortified with plant extracts such as chicory and red jania to tighten and lift, the foundation acts as part makeup and part skincare. The pink pear particles and soft-focus powders also help to create a luminous veil that is said to last all day even in the sun. Under extreme and unforgiving sunlight, dark spots and imperfections can also be concealed and blurred while the anti-pollution complex protects against environmental stressors.
HK$380/30ml

Benefit California Kissin' Colour Balm

We have been shielded behind our surgical masks for some time now, but with restrictions finally loosening up we can finally (or at least, begin to) revert back to the good old days. Fulfilling the need for hydration and colour this season, Benefit's new lip balm comes in a burst of 12 vibrant shades for summer fun. Extremely lightweight and hydrating thanks to loofah seed oil, the lips are nourished and hydrated for hours. One layer gives a natural-looking sheen, but when layered, can appear to be almost as pigmented as lipstick itself (without the drying effect). Personally, I’m enjoying the berry tone that adds a touch of colour while still appearing very natural and light.
HK$190/10g

Aveda Cherry Almond Body Scrub

There’s no getting around sweat and grime in the peak of summer and with that, exfoliation needs to be thorough and frequent. Aveda’s new Cherry Almond Body Scrub is the shower essential for these long, hot days. It does its job by removing dead skin cells while conditioning, smoothing and softening the skin. A mixture of fruity and floral sweetness, the playful aroma is a bright and fresh scent that’s very season-appropriate. What’s more, it uses 38 pure flower and plant essences and is cruelty-free, so you’re doing something good for the environment and your own wellbeing all at the same time.
HK$$340/200ml

Clarins Plant Gold Nutri-revitalizing Oil-emulsion

[caption id="attachment_189397" align="alignnone" width="1090"] Clarins Plant Gold Nutri-revitalizing Oil-emulsion HK$580/35ml; Aroma Facial available for HK$920/60 minutes at Clarins, Central Building[/caption]

Clarins’ newest addition to its Aromaphytocare range (an extremely popular line with a focus on essential oils and plant extracts) is the Plant Gold – a 100% natural and original formula. The design of the bottle holds blue orchid treatment oil and natural origin emulsion separately, and only when pumped does it dispel together to create a dual-texture emulsion. The freshly blended formula delivers immediate nourishment and hydration to the skin and is surprisingly lightweight and non-greasy. For a more thorough penetration, Clarins also offers a Ayuroma Touch facial experience using Aromaphytocare products to revive your skin and all your senses.

Derm Institute Cellular Rejuvenating Neck & Decollete Serum

[caption id="attachment_189396" align="alignnone" width="3000"] Derm Institute Cellular Rejuvenating Neck & Decollete Serum HK$1,400/50ml[/caption]

Derm Institude’s Cellular Rejuvenating Neck and Decollete Serum is the answer to firmer and tighter appearance of the often overlooked neck area. The advanced peptide complex firms skin and smooths out lines and wrinkles while re-sculpting the delicate areas below the jaw bone. Rich yet non-sticky, the formula is best used with a massage tool (gua sha or roller) to contour and lift, creating a sensual Y line of the neck.

Dior Diorsnow Perfect Light Compact

[caption id="attachment_189395" align="alignnone" width="2251"] Dior Diorsnow Perfect Light Compact HK$550; Dior Diorsnow Perfect Light Compact Refill HK$415[/caption]

To add to the Diorsnow range, Dior’s beauty line dedicated to Asian skin, is the brand’s first moisture-lock brightening compact foundation. The highly corrective formula is a perfectly smooth and even veil for the skin. The extremely fine texture fuses with the skin without absorbing its natural hydration so skin stays moisturised, soft and supple. Ingredients include Edelweiss flower petals for luminosity, white micro-pearls to mattify unwanted shine and Diorsnow brightening complex to correct yellowness and imperfections.

EVE LOM Rescue Peel Pads

[caption id="attachment_189392" align="alignnone" width="1333"] EVE LOM Rescue Peel Pads HK$630/60pads[/caption]

Recently earning the reputation as “probably the best cleanser in the world”, EVE LOM has come up with a quick on-the-go cleanser for even lazy girls. The handy Rescue Peel Pads are soaked in a potent combo of AHA, PHA and BHA acids that effectively shed built up layers of dead skin cells to reveal a smoother and brighter complexion. Acting as a gentle exfoliator, the wipes promote cell turnover for younger looking skin. It’s also one of the very few wipes on the market that conditions the skin instead of stripping it of the skin’s natural oils – thanks to its Vitamin B3 to smooth, hydrate and calm the skin. The 100% biodegradable material is an added bonus for green beauty advocates.

Fenty Beauty What is Dew Makeup Refreshing Spray & Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer

[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/fenty-what-it-dew.jpg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/fenty-gloss-bomb.jpg" right-caption="Fenty Beauty What it Dew Makeup Refreshing Spray HK$258" left-caption="Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer HK$165"]
Fenty has been hard at work with a lot of new releases recently (Flypencil eyeliner, Snap Shadows, Precision definition brushes and Full Frontal mascara), and there’s no sign of slowing down. This month Rihanna’s beauty line is dropping three brand-new shades of its coveted Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer, a conditioning non-sticky mega shine gloss and What it Dew makeup refreshing spray. A personal favourite of the entertainer, the hydration spray can be used before, during or after makeup application for a surge of instant hydration on the go.

[inline-quote author="Rihanna"]"This spray is my go-to when I need a quick pick-me-up. I can use it in so many different ways -- before makeup, after a long flight, or whenever I want to add a dewy finish to my makeup look. "[/inline-quote]

Gucci Rouge À Lévres Gothique Lipstick

[gallery ids="189483,189385,189386,189384"]

Lipsticks have been a big thing for Gucci this past year. Following right after its matte lipstick launch last month, comes the house’s metallic finish lip colours. The ultra pigmented shades are formulated using a carbon black pigment to create a deep undertone that is contrasted with a subtle metallic finish from its glimmering pearl extract. The collection of nine tones is inspired by iconic Hollywood movies and characters of the gilded era, so expect bold and eccentric shades best suited for special occasions and less for everyday use. To set it apart from Gucci’s existing expansive lipstick range, the Gothique collection is packaged with a black cap decorated with gold stars.

NARS Afterglow Collection

[gallery ids="189379,189380,189381"]

It’s not our first time to rave about NARS Afterglow tinted lip balms. And based off its huge popularity, NARS has launched six new sheer shades for a little natural luminosity, a limited edition 12-shade eyeshadow palette and cheek palette. Glow is the name of the game here, with supercharged shades of warm hues for the eyes, cheeks and lips. While the whole range is to die for, what stands out is the Overlust cheek palette – with three blushes and three gel-to-powder highlighters, the unique silky texture is easy to layer and blend.

RéVive Supérieur Body Nightly Renewal Serum & Firming Cream

[caption id="attachment_189371" align="alignnone" width="1280"] RéVive Supérior Body Nightly Renewal Serum HK$2,100/120ml; Supérior Body Renewal Firming Cream HK$1,900/192ml[/caption]

We're not sure we remember the simpler days -- before serums were a can’t-live-without part of your skincare regimen. And with that, it was only a matter of time before the essential step made its way into our body care routine too. RéVive has always been at the forefront when it comes to luxurious skincare with a high efficacy rate, and to our delight, now we can slather our bodies with their potent formulations. The newly launched Supérior Body Nightly Renewing Serum promises to firm and tighten the body bits that need a little lift. Using its signature bio-renewal and bio-firming ingredients found in its face skincare, the fast-absorbing body serum also improves the texture and smoothness. The serum is released with as Renewal Firming Cream to be used together for maximum results.

Long associated with religion, nobility and -- of course -- romance, roses have also been used in Chinese and other herbal forms of medicine, as a vitamin supplement and even as a natural sweetener. But perhaps nowhere has the flower caught on more as a luxury ingredient than in skincare and cosmetics.

Rose and rosehip oils, and the various tinctures made from them, have been proven to heal and moisturise the skin, reduce redness, combat inflammation and provide high levels of antioxidants. All of which makes them a perfect addition to everything from toners to face masks to lip treatments.
