An entrepreneur from Tripoli, Lebanon, with an unconventional background in business computer science and HR, Lubna&#8217;s journey was set in motion by a life-altering event \u2013 a car accident. This accident opened her eyes to the remarkable healing power of natural ingredients and \u201cthe power of nature\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discovering the School of Natural Skincare<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Lubna embarked on her journey into natural skincare, she felt the need for a better understanding of ingredients and the anatomy of the skin.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This need led her to the School of Natural Skincare, where she found a wealth of knowledge and resources to nurture her growing passion. Her pursuit wasn&#8217;t solely driven by her entrepreneurial spirit; it was about delving deeper into the science and art of natural skincare.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pivotal point of Lubna&#8217;s journey was enrolling in the School of Natural Skincare&#8217;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/certificate-in-natural-high-performance-serum-formulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Advanced Certificate in High-Performance Serum Formulation<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Her motivation was to create exceptional serums for the face, products that would provide a natural, radiant glow while enhancing the skin&#8217;s health. To achieve this, she needed to learn the intricate details of ingredient selection, formulation techniques, and the science behind the products. The course opened up a world of natural skincare possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Lubna Melhem&#039;s Journey: A Quest for Natural Skincare and Entrepreneurship\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IHzLtHZhz14?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enrolling in the Advanced Certificate in High-Performance Serum Formulation, Lubna learnt everything she needed to know to formulate her own natural, high-performance facial serums and oils from professional cosmetic scientists.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI enrolled in the advanced serum course because the skin of the face is very sensitive and delicate. So in order to produce a very good serum for the face that gives you the glow and the softness for the skin I have to learn about skin.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studying the Advanced Certificate in High-Performance Serum Formulation meant Lubna could learn about skin anatomy, formulating for different skin types; mature and aging, dry, oily and acne-prone skin, sensitive and healthy skin.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The course also teaches students from around the world about new cutting-edge ingredients like plant oils, esters, botanical extracts, AHAs, BHAs, advanced functional ingredients, vitamins and over 75 active ingredients (that are toning, anti-aging, skin brightening and much more!).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is these super-power ingredients that Lubna was attracted to. With a passion for plants and hydrosols, Lubna could advance her knowledge and aptitude. Growing her own plants, she would then \u201cextract from it hydrosols and oils because I know what I&#8217;m putting in my products because no chemicals are added to my plants. It&#8217;s a trying process, but it&#8217;s very beautiful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/certificate-in-natural-high-performance-serum-formulation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/11\/Advanced-Certificate-in-Serum-Formulation.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-139748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/11\/Advanced-Certificate-in-Serum-Formulation.png.webp 760w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/11\/Advanced-Certificate-in-Serum-Formulation-300x166.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studying with the School of Natural Skincare <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The course at the School of Natural Skincare proved to be an invaluable asset on Lubna&#8217;s journey. It offered a structured approach to skincare formulation, covering various aspects, from the ingredients suitable for different skin types to the intricacies of humectants and emulsifiers. Video demonstrations added a practical element to her learning, providing a clear understanding of how to combine ingredients effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI loved how they categorized each part, like skin for mature skin [etc], and where I can find all the ingredients worldwide. Each session they give to the student, the whole knowledge, the whole package together and the videos\u2026 It was amazing.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The knowledge she gained through the course breathed new life into her passion. It wasn&#8217;t just about creating products anymore; it was about creating products that were backed by science, that could truly make a difference for her customers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe quality of [my] products has [gone] to a higher level since I started the course.

She stresses the importance of changing one&#8217;s mindset, as it&#8217;s the mindset that ultimately shapes the journey; \u201cAlways change your mindset. Your mindset is where you are going to reach. Nothing is easy, but you have to work hard for what you dream of\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lubna&#8217;s story serves as a testament to the fact that hard work, determination, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge can lead to fulfilling one&#8217;s dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Essence of Lubby Lubs <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lubna&#8217;s brand, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lubby-lub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Lubby Lubs<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, stands for more than just skincare.
