NOVEMBER 2026
About our Partner
Meet Archeila "Archie" Riley, licensed esthetician and owner of Skin Savvy Esthetics in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. Celebrating her first year in business, Archeila has built a spa dedicated to personalized skincare for melanin-rich skin and treating hyperpigmentation. She partnered with us in January 2026, and has been transforming her clients' skin ever since with Alpha Glow Serum.
"Skin Savvy Aesthetics was actually what I thought of when I was in school. I was in school at the time, when I came up with the name for it. But I knew I wanted to offer a one-of-a-kind service where people could come and get their services. Learn more about skin care, how it applies to them, and how it can help them overall as far as their skincare journey and help them overall with their wellness."

And so when I learned about your product and the fact that you were Black-owned, that was another plus, because [melanin-rich skin] is my niche market."

And the narrator is actually guiding me through breathing exercises. It's designed to help regulate your nervous system."

"When I first started off, I wasn't into micro needling and I wasn't into procell. But I'm a firm believer, if you can't afford procell or micro needling or micro channeling, Derma Roller is a wonderful device that can help you get your skin back in tip top shape as far as reducing fine lines and actually helping with acne scarring."
"I'm a Starbucks fan, so I get the Grande Caramel Macchiato with oat milk."
"Well, I'm not a big zodiac person. When I say that, I'm saying that I'm not one of those people that are just all the way. I don't know the ins and outs of of it, but I do recognize that they do have some value and that they do have some truth in our life.
So I'm a Capricorn. That's an Earth sign."
"What keeps me motivated is God and how much He's been there for me through various obstacles that I've been through. I'm reminded of times when I felt like I had no one and that I was alone. He brought peace to my heart and reminded me of who I was and whose I was. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, just reflecting on the fact that I can do all things through Christ."
