And welcome back. It is time to glow. DMV Skincare Entrepreneur is making self-care hands-on and fun. The founder and CEO of Sunkissed Mari Skin is live in studio. She's sharing her interactive skincare experience and showing us how we can put our best face forward. Welcome, Maria, thank you so much for joining us here. When you walked up, it just smelled so good. But it smells like, you know, something that obviously you're going to be wearing all day. So it's a scent that's very welcoming, I would say. Tell us a bit about this business and how you came about doing it. Yeah, definitely. So the Sunkissed Mari brand of skin started back in 2020. It's a body care brand by me that I started here based in the DMV, handcrafted body care products. We have body butters and body oils. And now we've entered into making this a more interactive thing by creating the SKM experience. I would say a lot of people, they can be very particular on the smell that you have. But if you can go in and handpick exactly what you want, I mean, that's going to be a surefire way to make sure that you get the best, you know, one that you're going to walk away with. So what are we going to do here today? I know while I was looking at this and you have a lot of oils and you can pick from here, as you said, based on what your body needs. Yes. So every oil serves kind of like Right, right. So when you come into the class, you'll receive your base, which is shea butter, which is all our products are based shea butter based. And then you'll have your oil guide here. So this is what you have based on what your body needs. Like you said, you'll pick which oils you would like to add into your custom body butter. And then for the fun part, you get to choose from your scent guide. So As you can smell, we have amazing smells and in the class is the only place you can get a lot of the exclusive smells. So like we have here the golden souk, we have the midnight oud, these are all things that only you can get into the class. So today you're going to have the I'm going to have the opportunity to... Make your own. Let's go. Let's pretend like I'm in the class here. All right. So you come in. You have your apron here. All right. Well, let's get that going. Yes, yes, yes. I mean, I'm wearing silk. We don't want to get oil on the silk, right? Definitely not. Definitely not. So as we're doing this, OK, going through. Yeah, so I've already kind of cheated for you and did most of the mixing. But what you're going to do here is to, this would be your final product. OK. So this is the product here. So you're going to pipe it into the jar. So I'm going to go ahead and cut the tip for you. So this is already mixed together? Yes, yes, yes. Okay. So tell me then, what is it that, oh, you can just see how luxurious that is coming out. So what is it that you made here when people come in? So they have the shea butter as the base. Yes, and then you add your oils. What oils do we have going on here? So here today we have a sweet almond oil. We have jojoba oil, and we also have coconut oil. And the scent that I created for you today is actually an exclusive scent that will be coming out this winter. Oh, don't I feel fancy? call our honey cashmere scent, which is a nice warm Winter, smooth scent. You can tell them. Okay, yes. This is lovely. And then it goes on really smooth, and this is something you can just, oh, I can see it even has like a little bit of a sheen that's going on, which is really kind of nice. Yes, yes. But it's not too, even though it's oil, it's not too oily. It's just kind of very, I mean, it soaks right into the skin. Yeah, literally. How many people come into your classes? Like, how do they sign up for it? Sure, so you can sign up on our website. We try to keep it intimate because it is a self-care experience. You get to have like light refreshments.
