Babes of Quinte

Listen, nourish your skin.

Ep. 88
•

We grew up in a generation that was cleansing with “exfoliating beads”, oxy action pads, all the makeup removing wipes, and why moisturize??? The skincare game has changed a lot, and our next guest and her sister have made it their mission to develop hand-crafted natural skincare products. 


Shamsa Hassan is the founder of Afiya Beauty. In 2018, she joined forces with her sister to meticulously source, blend, mix, and infuse formulations designed to elevate everyday wellness routines. She advocates for transparency in the beauty industry and provides education.


Babes of Quinte please welcome Shamsa Hassan, the founder of Afiya Beauty.
