Meet Rachel Roff- CEO of Urban Skin Rx ® and single mother to her young daughter, Rosie. Soon after beginning her career as an aesthetician and laser technician, Rachel realized she was unable to perform treatments on family and friends with skin of color. She decided to make it her mission to make the skincare industry more inclusive. Rachel’s unrelenting passion drove her to found Urban Skin Solutions Medspa and Laser Center in 2006 in Charlotte, NC. After great success, Rachel launched Urban Skin Rx®, a line of clinical skincare products for diverse skin tones, in 2010. 

Her journey to being the incredibly successful skincare entrepreneur that she is today, started years earlier when as a young girl, being bullied to such an extent made her decide to dedicate her life to helping others with skin concerns.

Our conversation delves into body image, bullying, the effects of social media, celebrity clients, motherhood and the constant balancing act!! For many of us, body image is an ongoing internal topic; bullying unfortunately is not restricted to the playground, and its effects can be life-long. Thankfully for Rachel, her talent and dedication to improved skincare led her to create products that had people scrambling to get their hands on them, and some of those people were celebrity clients like Eva Marcille, Fantasia and Tasha Cobbs, and they became friends!!!

The growth of Urban Skin Rx is evident in stores like Target, Walmart, Ulta, CVS, QVC and recently, HSN. Rachel has achieved a powerful platform to use so as to bring awareness to, and raise money for important social and racial justice organizations such as Black Lives Matter, Campaign Zero, Color of Change, Fair Fight and so many more. 

For all that she does, my skin, and the skin of many others, say a big “Thank You” to Rachel Roff.........!!!
