My Story

My name is Zahra Karim, and Exotic Skn is far more than a brand. It is the story of my becoming.

I was raised in a South Asian home where beauty was not a routine, it was a ritual. Every Sunday my mother would warm oil between her palms and press it gently into my scalp, passing down generations of care through her fingertips. In our world, beauty was culture. Skincare was connection. And self-care was sacred.

At university, I began to realise how unique that upbringing truly was. The rituals I once saw as normal were, in fact, timeless traditions grounded in deep wisdom. They were practices most women around me had never experienced. That awakening sparked a desire to share what I had always known — that true luxury comes from nature, and from the intention behind how we use it.

Exotic Skn was born from that desire. A modern expression of ancient rituals. Each product is created to meet you where you are in life. Whether you are on the move between meetings, moments, or cities, Exotic Skn makes space for you to reconnect with yourself. Effortlessly, luxuriously, beautifully.

This is not just skincare. It is soul care. It is heritage. It is innovation.

It is my story. And now, it belongs to you too.
