When you think of the ultimate luxury, what comes to mind? For many, it’s the soothing escape of a spa day — warm robes, aromatic oils, and the rejuvenating touch of expert care. But in the whirlwind of life, those moments of indulgence can feel as elusive as a summer breeze. Enter Zena Foster Beauty, a boutique beauty brand that promises to bring the spa experience into the sanctuary of your home. Founded by Zena Foster-Babbs, a mother, entrepreneur, and self-care advocate, this growing business has become a go-to for both skincare aficionados and time-strapped parents.

From its humble beginnings in 2017, Zena Foster Beauty (ZFB) has carved a niche in the beauty industry with a mission to empower individuals to prioritise their well-being. But beyond the products and tools lies an inspiring story of resilience, creativity, and the power of self-belief.

From Necessity to Inspiration

Zena Foster-Babbs’ journey into beauty entrepreneurship began out of necessity, though her roots in the industry trace back to childhood. "I grew up in my mum's salon, watching her transform her clients," Zena recalls. "She made people feel beautiful and confident, and I caught the beauty bug early."

Fast forward to 2017, and Zena found herself balancing the demands of a busy household while her husband, R&B star Tank, toured the world. A self-professed lover of all things luxurious, Zena realised that her cherished "me time" was becoming harder to schedule. Rather than accept defeat, she channelled her passion for self-care into a practical solution: recreating the spa experience at home.

"I started Zena Foster Beauty because I wanted the best parts of the spa without needing to carve out hours to get there," Zena explains. "It was a must for me, and I knew so many others would relate to that need."

Tools of Transformation

Zena Foster Beauty is known for its innovative skincare tools that deliver professional results without the hefty price tag. The star of the collection? The Polished Exfoliating Mittens.

“Our mittens are by far the most popular item,” Zena shares. "They mimic the benefits of a Korean spa treatment but can be used in the comfort of your home. Plus, the results are instant, and who doesn’t love instant gratification?"

ZFB’s product line doesn’t stop there. With tools designed to infuse skincare products deeper into the skin and promote overall well-being, the brand has earned a loyal following. Celebrities like Gabrielle Union, Kelly Rowland, and even members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan have sung its praises. It’s not just about glowing skin — it’s about reclaiming moments of self-care in a world that rarely slows down.

The Challenge of Growth

Running a business is no small feat, and Zena is refreshingly candid about the challenges of entrepreneurship. "The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that you can’t do it all alone," she admits. "ZFB is a growing Black-owned business, and my family and friends have been instrumental in its success. My kids help pack orders, and my husband pitches in as well. It’s truly a
team effort."

This collaborative spirit mirrors the ethos of Zena Foster Beauty itself: taking small, intentional steps to create something beautiful. Whether it’s exfoliating dead skin or building a brand from the ground up, Zena believes in the transformative power of persistence and support.

Words of Wisdom for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

For those dreaming of their own beauty empire, Zena offers this advice: "Stay authentic to what you love. The beauty industry can be tough, but if your passion is genuine, it’ll shine through."

Zena also stresses the importance of balancing ambition with self-care. "You can’t pour from an empty cup. To take care of others, you have to be at your best. That starts with feeling good in your own skin."

It’s a mantra that resonates deeply with her customers, who return time and again for products that deliver both results and a moment of reprieve.

Bringing the Spa to You

The world may be full of stressors, but Zena Foster Beauty offers a reminder that self-care is always within reach. With tools that transform skincare routines into rituals, the brand empowers people to look and feel their best — no matter how hectic life gets.

So, why not bring the spa home? Add a touch of Zena Foster Beauty to your routine and rediscover the joy of putting
yourself first.
