Lilian’s love for skincare started as a personal passion but evolved into a thriving business.

“I never imagined skin and skincare would turn from passion to business,” she reflects.

Guided by a deep-seated drive for excellence, she founded Lilian Collins Ltd in 2011, transforming it into a household name with four distinct brands, which include, Lilian Collins Aesthetics that specialises in beauty and skincare treatments; Skinologist that offers skincare products and cosmetics.

Others are, Beauty Agent, which is providing beauty equipment and trained therapists and Wild and Free that is focusing on home scents and personal care products.

She is a certified Aesthetician by the North American Board of Aestheticians and holds a Master’s in Aesthetics.

She further advanced her skills in Chemical Peeling and Lasers at Wigmore Medicals in the United Kingdom (UK) and has earned multiple certifications from leading institutions such as Mesoestetic UK and Caci International UK and VI Derm UK.

There recognition are along with a Diploma in all Level 3 Beauty Therapy Courses from the Carlton Institute, London with certifications in Electrolysis, Facial Electrical Treatments, Body Mechanics, Massages, and Facials.

Her expertise ensures that Lilian Collins Limited consistently delivers world-class services.

Recognising gaps in the Nigerian beauty industry, Lilian introduced innovative products and services to meet the needs of clients with diverse skin tones, from importing products which often didn’t yield expected results for colored skin.

She has been prompted to combine manufacturer’s products to achieve desired outcomes, as the challenge inspired the creation of Skinologist specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of colored skin.

Under Skinologist, Lilian has developed over 100 products, including an SPF infused with Glutathione to counteract complaints that SPF darkens the skin.

She also, introduced a liquid spray SPF that allows for seamless reapplication over makeup without leaving a white cast, no matter how much is applied.

To further empower the beauty industry, she founded Beauty Agent to provide high-quality, standardized and affordable beauty equipments.

Recognising that the cost of advanced machines often made sessions unaffordable for clients, Lilian began sourcing quality and reliable machines.

This initiative has made advanced tools more accessible particularly for upcoming beauty therapists and Aestheticians.

She emphasises the importance of the curation of the right skincare mentioning mechanical and electrical treatments is still the way to go and the growing role of IV treatment and injectables which she describes as “the new youth elixirs”.

Lilian Arigbodi, known for staying ahead of industry trends constantly stays innovative.

Her luxurious spa, Lilian Collins Aesthetics, is equipped with state-of-the-art beauty machines like 360 degrees cryolipo which is made up of laser pads, cryo pads, cavitation pads and RF probs.

Other cutting-edge equipment includes CACI Ultimate (celebrity skin tightening machine used by the likes of J-lo, Jennifer Aniston, Madonna), EMS machine for skin tightening, RF (skin lifting and tightening) and Galvanic dark circles treatment machine.

In a recent revamp, there have been upgrades such as laser machines and the introduction of Exosomes, a new anti-aging treatment making waves in Europe and Asia.

As always true to the mission, she is among the first to bring this innovation to Nigeria.

In addition of the recent revamp of Lilian Collins Aesthetics, Lilian has expanded Skinologist with a new outlet in Owerri alongside its existing Port Harcourt outlet.

She also launched the brand in Kenya, and would be focusing on enhancing the visibility of the makeup brand.

There are also plans in view to expand to Ghana and South Africa, enhancing its reach across Africa.

As Lilian Collins Limited continues to grow dedication to standards, professionalism, and quality remains at the center of everything she does, her impact on Nigeria’s beauty landscape and beyond will continuously remain profound, setting new benchmarks for innovation, inclusivity and excellence.
