Greetings, Skin Microbiome Enthusiast!
First, I want to give a shout-out to my marketing and communications assistant, ChatGPT, for helping me refine this post!
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re curious about skincare that actually works with your skin — and maybe curious about what it’s like to build a brand around that idea.
When people think of a skincare founder, or in general an entrepreneur, they often picture someone sitting in a sleek office, surrounded by gorgeous products, a team running things, and a glowing Instagram feed. But let me give you the real, raw version of what it’s like to be in the early stages of building a skincare brand — because that’s exactly where I am right now with Fafabiotic.
I’m not just making products. I’m hustling every day to introduce people to a new way of thinking about skincare — microbiome and probiotic skincare that’s alive and actually effective. And as an early-stage entrepreneur, my days are laser-focused on finding and connecting with people who need what I’ve built.
Now, let me be upfront: I’m not a robot. The timing of these activities shifts. What I plan to do in the morning might completely change by the afternoon. But here’s a general flow of activities that make up my typical day as a skincare founder and entrepreneur.
I start my day early before the rest of the house wakes up — because once life starts, it’s non-stop.
Before I check social media or email, I write out my daily goal for how many people I want to reach out to — whether that’s via DMs, email, calls, or groups where I know people are struggling with skin issues we can help solve.
Next up: Mom mode! Breakfast, lunch boxes, getting kids out the door. This part of my day keeps me grounded because my family is my “why.”
Once I’m back at my desk, the real hustle begins. I spend the next few hours:
✅ Reaching out to potential customers
✅ Following up on conversations
✅ Answering DMs and skincare questions
Right now, my #1 job is to educate people on what alive skincare is and how it can help them.
Lunch is usually quick — and I use this time to reflect on what’s working in my outreach and messaging.
Afternoons are for content creation to reach more people:
🎥 Filming Reels or videos
📝 Writing posts and blogs (like this!)
💬 Sharing skin success stories
Because Fafabiotic is alive skincare, I check on product batches and inventory, making sure everything is handled to keep the probiotics active and effective.
Late afternoon is family time — school pick-up, dinner, and activities. I try to be present, even if I’m still mentally working through my to-do list.
Once the house is quiet, I get back to finish any outreach I didn’t complete earlier.
I also reflect on what worked and what needs adjusting — because tomorrow’s outreach needs to be even better.
Right now, my focus isn’t on counting sales — it’s on counting conversations. Every conversation is an opportunity to educate, connect, and help someone transform their skin.
If you’re in the early stages of building something — whether it’s a brand, business, or big dream — remember, showing up consistently (even imperfectly) is what builds momentum.
No one sees all the behind-the-scenes hustle, but that’s where real growth happens — in the daily effort, in the conversations, and in the connections.
