Terry Treasure Shuts Down Skincare Business to Embrace New Paths in Fitness

Bathong, Terry Treasure, the beloved former reality TV star from Big Brother Mzansi, has made waves with a surprising announcement: she is closing down her skincare business. This revelation stunned many fans as she took to social media on January 6, 2026, to share the news that her store, which opened in February of last year, would soon be no more.

In her heartfelt post, Terry expressed her gratitude for the experiences and lessons learned during her year in business. She reflected on her journey, stating,

"IT'S NEVER THE RIGHT TIME TO SAY GOODBYE‼️🥹 My year lease is up, and wow! What a year 2025 was. Lots of lessons, lots of growth, lots of time to reflect. I’m grateful for it all…Lots don’t make it past the first year of business. I’m grateful to have reached year 3. Now having discovered my purpose, it’s only right that I start building my life and a career around what changed my life when sh*t hit the fan."

In true entrepreneurial spirit, Terry isn't just closing doors; she's opening new ones. With plans to expand her brand into the fitness sector, she shared her evolving passions with TshisaLIVE. She stated,

"Patience, my biggest lessons in business were about delegation and staying small enough to reach the next level. Many people seek instant growth, which is admirable, but without the right structure, success is unlikely. I realised my passion for skincare wasn't as strong as my love for fitness."

Terry highlighted her newfound focus on sports nutrition and her journey into golfing, which she believes will teach her patience—a key trait for her business philosophy. Her ultimate goal? To develop feeding programs intended to support underprivileged communities through her nutrition enterprise.

DJ Zinhle Opens Up on Challenges of Business Ownership

Terry's decision resonates with others in the industry, like DJ Zinhle, who recently faced her own business challenges. After the unfortunate closure of her luxury furniture brand, Jiyane Atelier, Zinhle discussed the adversities she encountered during an interview at 702. She candidly shared,

"The partners could not deliver on the demand, or what we had agreed on... I remember I was left with a year of using my own money to just fix and deliver on what was not delivered to my buyers.”
