Lioness Launch / Nigeria’s Skin Therapy Beauty and Spa brand launches three new revolutionary skincare products

January 25, 2025 Melanie Hawken

Mimi Whyte Femi, founder, Skin Therapy Beauty and Spa (Nigeria)

Skin Therapy Beauty and Spa, the Nigerian skincare brand launched by Mimi Whyte Femi in 2012, and known as a sanctuary for skin healing and beauty enhancement, announces three new revolutionary products in its range. Founded by someone who understands the personal battle with skin issues, the brand’s mission is to provide holistic, personalized skincare solutions. From inception, the brand has been dedicated to transforming skin health through organic, scientifically-backed treatments and products, offering everything from facials to advanced laser therapies, all tailored to individual skin types and concerns.

The three revolutionary products to be added to the Skin Therapy Beauty and Spa range include:

SNAIL MUCIN 95 + PEPTIDE Facial Essence
This essence is a powerhouse of hydration and repair. With 95% snail secretion filtrate, it's designed to heal skin damage from the sun, reduce signs of ageing, and deliver profound moisture. It's dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

REEDLE SHOT 100
This product is your go-to for achieving that sought-after smooth, radiant skin. Infused with 95,000 cica reedle and natural Vitamin D, it works miracles in whitening skin and diminishing wrinkles, offering a dual-action approach to skincare.

7X DARK SPOT CORRECTOR FACE CREAM
This cream is a skincare superhero. It tackles a multitude of concerns—from wrinkles to dark spots, from acne scars to uneven skin tone. It's enriched with ingredients that nourish, repair, brighten, and moisturize, providing a comprehensive anti-ageing solution that also fights free radicals and enhances skin elasticity.

Speaking about the launch of the new products and what makes them different, founder Mimi Whyte Femi says: “Our products stand out because they are born from personal experience and extensive global research. They are crafted in our state-of-the-art factories worldwide, ensuring that every product is tailored to various skin issues, and suitable for all skin types. The Snail Mucin essence, for instance, uses the highest concentration of snail filtrate available, making it exceptionally effective. REEDLE SHOT 100 and 7X Dark Spot Corrector are unique in their potent, yet gentle formulations, offering solutions without the harshness often found in other products.”

Mimi says that the aspiration for these new products is to empower every woman to embrace her skin's natural beauty.“We want these products to become staples in the daily routines of women across Africa and beyond, helping them feel confident and radiant. We aim to lead the conversation on skin inclusivity, offering solutions that cater to every skin type and concern, ultimately reducing the stigma around skin imperfections.”

These innovative skincare solutions will be available at Skin Therapy Beauty and Spa outlets in Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and through the brand’s online store at www.skintherapybeauty.com/ and select international retailers, making them accessible to a broader audience looking for trusted, effective skincare.

Mimi adds, "As someone who once struggled with my own skin, I understand the journey from insecurity to confidence. Our skin is not just a layer; it's our story. Let’s write a beautiful one together with Skin Therapy - because your skin deserves the love and care you give to every dream you chase."
