We create thoughtfully formulated products to help you care for your skin and hair without making your routine unnecessarily complicated.
Our philosophy is simple: Ancient Roots, Modern Radiance.
Is Ziora the same as Tamara Skin & Spa?
Yes! Same founder, same commitment to quality, just a new name and a fresh look.
Ziora is the new identity of Tamara Skin & Spa. If you’ve used and loved our products before, you’re in the right place.
Are Ziora products made in Nigeria?
Yes, and we’re proud of it!
Our products are developed with formulation expertise and a focus on ingredients that serve a real purpose.
We believe great skincare doesn’t have to come from overseas to earn your trust.

Choosing the Right Products
I’m new to Ziora. Where should I start?
Welcome! You don’t need to buy everything on our website to get started.
The best place to begin depends on your skin concerns and what you’re already using.
If you’re dealing with clogged pores, rough texture or uneven-looking skin, our BHA Routine Kit may be worth exploring.
Not sure? Send us a message. We’ll help you decide whether you need one product or a complete routine.
How do I know which Ziora product is right for my skin?
Tell us a little about your skin.
Is it oily? Dry? Are you dealing with breakouts, dark spots or uneven tone?
We’ll help you narrow down your options and build a routine that makes sense for you.
Because buying more products isn’t always the answer. Sometimes you just need the right ones.
Do I need the complete routine, or can I buy just one product?
You can absolutely start with one product.
If you already have a gentle cleanser and a good moisturiser, you may only need to introduce a targeted treatment.
But if you’re starting from scratch, a complete routine can make things easier because each product has a clear job.
What comes in the Ziora Complete BHA Routine Kit?
Three products, three simple steps.
- Gentle Face Wash (110ml): Cleanses your skin and removes everyday buildup.
- BHA + Mandelic Serum (30ml): Helps exfoliate, reduce congestion and improve the appearance of uneven texture.
- Even Tone Night Crème (30g): Helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and supports a smoother-looking complexion.
The kit costs ₦42,500 and includes free delivery and guidance on how to begin.
Can I use Ziora alongside other skincare brands?
Of course!
You don’t need to throw away everything you own because you’re introducing Ziora.
What matters is whether the products work well together.
If you’re already using exfoliating acids, retinoids or acne treatments, check with us before adding another active product. We don’t want you overdoing it.

Skin Concerns & Results
Can Ziora help with pimples and breakouts?
If you’re dealing with oily skin, clogged pores or recurring blemishes, our BHA + Mandelic Serum may be a useful addition to your routine.
It contains salicylic acid and mandelic acid to help exfoliate and improve the appearance of congested skin.
But not every breakout has the same cause. Persistent, painful or severe acne may need a dermatologist’s attention.
What about dark spots and uneven skin tone?
Dark spots can be stubborn. We know.
Our Even Tone Night Crème is formulated to help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, while our exfoliating serum helps with rough texture and surface buildup.
The important thing? Consistency, gentle skincare and daily sun protection.
Will Ziora bleach or lighten my natural skin colour?
No. That’s not what we’re about.
We believe beautiful skin comes in every shade.
Our goal is to help your skin look smoother, healthier and more even, not to change your natural complexion.
How long before I start seeing results?
That depends on your skin, the products you’re using and how consistent you are.
Some people notice smoother-feeling skin within a few weeks. Concerns like uneven tone and stubborn dark spots can take longer, often several months.
We’d rather help you set realistic expectations than promise overnight miracles.
Can I use Ziora if I have sensitive skin?
Possibly, but it depends on the product and what your skin is reacting to.
If your skin stings easily, feels irritated or has a damaged skin barrier, introducing exfoliating acids may not be the best first step.
Message us before starting. Sometimes your skin needs a simpler routine before anything else.
Are Ziora products suitable for teenagers?
Some are, depending on their age, skin concerns and the particular product.
Teenage skin usually doesn’t need a complicated routine. A gentle cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen are often enough.
For exfoliating treatments, we recommend checking with us first, especially for younger teenagers.
Can I use Ziora products during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Not every skincare ingredient is suitable for every stage of pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Please speak with your healthcare professional before using active treatments, and contact us so we can help you review the ingredients in the products you’re considering.

How to Use Your Products
How often should I use the BHA + Mandelic Serum?
Start with 2–3 nights a week, rather than using it every day straight away.
Apply after cleansing, follow with a moisturiser and use sunscreen during the day.
Give your skin time to adjust. More exfoliation doesn’t automatically mean better results.
Can I use the BHA Serum every night?
We recommend starting slowly.
How often you can use it depends on your skin’s tolerance and the other products in your routine.
If you’re experiencing dryness, stinging or irritation, reduce use or stop until your skin settles.
Can I use the BHA Serum with retinol or other exfoliating acids?
We don’t recommend layering multiple strong exfoliating treatments in the same routine without professional guidance.
Using too many active ingredients together can leave your skin irritated.
Tell us what you’re currently using and we’ll help you work out a sensible routine.
Do I still need sunscreen when using Ziora?
Yes, absolutely.
If you’re working on dark spots or uneven skin tone, sunscreen is one step you really shouldn’t skip.
Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and use it every morning, even when you’re treating your skin at night.
What if a product irritates my skin?
Stop using it and keep your routine gentle.
If irritation is persistent, severe or worsening, seek medical advice.
You can also contact us with the product name and a description of what happened so we can help you review your routine.

You don’t need to use too much. Start small and adjust based on how your hair feels.
