I’m Amina, I’m a family doctor (or GP in the UK) and a mum.

As a family Doctor with two young children I was having the same skincare issues at home as I was having at work. Children were refusing to regularly moisturize their skin as it felt sticky or uncomfortable and the creams all smelt bad.

My children as well as my patients didn’t have a sensible skincare routine specific to their age and needs and this was putting their skin barrier at risk of harm and irritation.

Hi, I'm Sama - Dr Amina's kid & the Creative Director at Troikin

I'm 12 years old and I've been helping my mum grow Troikin for the last three years. As the teen on the team I guide on product testing with my friends, reviewing social media and posts. I was so excited to choose all the fragrances in the Troikin brand and I've even learnt more about the science behind fragrance with our UK supplier and have also led on picking the new product fragrances too!!!

I suffer from mild acne and itchy eczema and I've learnt so much about my skin and how to keep it healthy and I hope I can support more kids and teens to understand their skin health and grow in skin confidence.
