From launching a clinic in her own home to developing innovative products during lockdown, Halima’s journey proves that passion, perseverance, and authenticity can rewrite the rules of the beauty industry.

In this episode, I sit down with Halima, founder of Derma Clear Clinic, to explore how she turned challenges into opportunities and built a loyal following by staying true to her values. With over 22 years of experience as a skin therapist and e-commerce entrepreneur, Halima opens up about navigating stigma, embracing soulful skincare, and finding strength through difficult seasons of her life.

Inside this episode:
✨ The real misconceptions about home-based clinics - and how Halima overcame them
✨ How postnatal depression and the COVID-19 lockdown shaped her vision and business approach
✨ The inspiration behind her signature skincare products and holistic treatments
✨ Why authenticity on social media became her biggest growth tool
✨ The power of client care, support networks, and continuous learning in a competitive industry

Whether you’re building your beauty business from the ground up or looking for inspiration to evolve, Halima’s story is a reminder that success doesn’t always follow the traditional path – sometimes it starts right at home.
