Mimi Whyte-Femi, a renowned skincare therapist and aesthetician, is the founder of Skin Therapy Beauty and Spa—one of Nigeria’s leading skincare brands with locations in Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Lagos. For Mimi, nothing brings her greater satisfaction than helping others achieve healthy, radiant skin and overall wellness.
Mimi’s journey in the beauty industry began with her own struggles. As a teenager, she battled persistent skin problems, and overcoming her own challenges became the foundation for her successful career. As a certified aesthetician, she not only found solutions for herself but has spent over a decade helping countless clients transform their skin.
“Skin Therapy Beauty and Spa was my first true passion. Taking care of the skin and promoting wellness is what I love the most,” Mimi explained in a recent interview.
She went on to share, “My journey started because I personally struggled with acne. After countless failed attempts to clear my skin, I devoted myself to research and developed formulas that finally worked for me. From there, it became my mission to create innovative products addressing all sorts of skincare needs—from acne and signs of aging to discoloration, uneven skin tone, melasma, and sun damage. With manufacturing partners across the globe, we continue to expand our product range.”
Mimi also invests in the latest aesthetic technology at each of her spa locations. She offers advanced treatments including laser hair removal, Neo-Emsculpt (for muscle building and fat reduction), HIFU treatments (to lift and contour the face and body), as well as stretchmark and tattoo removal.
“None of this success happened overnight.” she emphasized. “The journey hasn’t been without its share of obstacles, but persistence, hard work, and faith have carried me through. I’m grateful to still be leading and innovating in my industry, overcoming challenges, and continuously growing.”
Reflecting on the importance of daily skincare, Mimi stresses that building good habits early on is essential for lifelong beauty: “Taking care of your skin is about self-respect—it represents you every day. A proactive skincare routine not only keeps your skin looking youthful, it’s far easier to prevent problems than to correct them later. Even if your skin looks flawless now, conditions can change quickly. Because skin cells are always renewing, a consistent regimen ensures your future complexion remains healthy and luminous.”
Since launching Skin Therapy Beauty and Spa in 2012, Mimi Whyte-Femi has established herself—and her brand—as a trailblazer in Nigeria’s skincare and beauty industry. She combines global training and best practices with cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional results to her clients.
“Skincare and wellness treatments are advancing faster than ever,” Mimi shared, highlighting her commitment to innovation. “Our SKIN BOSS collection now features advanced treatments such as botulinum, fillers, and fat-dissolving procedures. We’re proud to provide incredible results to men and women from all around the world.”
