About Yemi

Yemi Odugbesan, founder of Success Self Care

Hi, I'm Yemi, the founder of Success Self Care.

I turned 50 in 2026, and somewhere on the way there I noticed my skin asking for something different. It felt drier. It got tight after showers. The products that worked in my thirties suddenly felt like too much, and the shelf of half-used bottles in my bathroom kept growing.

So I simplified. I went back to the natural basics I grew up around: black soap for a gentle cleanse, rich shea butter for moisture, and a few drops of oil to finish. I started making them myself, in small batches, and sharing them with friends. That became Success Self Care.

What I make

Every product is handmade in small batches with natural ingredients:

Black Soap Face & Body Wash for a gentle everyday cleanse
Black Soap Foaming Facial Wash, the same blend in an easy foaming pump
Whipped Shea Butter Body Cream, 100% shea butter whipped soft
Nourishing Essential Oil Blend, a few drops before your body cream

You can find them all in my Etsy shop.

Why this blog

I believe caring for yourself is a form of gratitude for the body and the life you've been given. This blog is where I share simple skincare routines, small self-care rituals, what I'm learning about skin as we age, and the everyday habits (sleep, water, food, movement, and rest) that help skin look and feel its best.

Nothing complicated. Nothing expensive. Just steady, loving care, one day at a time.

I'm so glad you're here.
