Acne, Sobriety, and Building a Skincare Empire with Marya Khalil-Otto of VI Peel

Marya Khalil-Otto didn't just inherit a company - she inherited a mission. As CEO of VI Peel, the first painless chemical peel formulated for all skin tones, Marya carries forward the legacy of her father, Dr. Khalil, who originally created the peel to treat her own acne. In this episode of Well Rooted, Marya gets real about what it took to step into leadership after losing her father, relocate to LA, and go back to school to get her aesthetician license - not because she had to, but because she wanted to truly understand the brand and the people it serves. We get into the actual science behind acne and why it's never just a skincare issue, how sobriety completely shifted her relationship with herself and her work, and what inclusivity in the aesthetics industry actually looks like in practice. Plus, what it's like to run a thriving company while showing up as a mother and a whole person.   To follow Marya on Instagram, click HERE To follow VI Peel on Instagram, click HERE To follow Well Rooted on Instagram, click HERE To learn more about Jarrar & Associates and schedule a free consultation, click HERE
