Just like the way what we eat is so important to our health that’s how skin care is to the body . Skin care is the special treatment we give to the skin to make it look better and healthier.
When I was younger I didn’t know anything about skin care or even body care I normally use my body lotion for both my body and my face that’s one of the mistake I made when using my body cream . I’m still getting familiar with some of this skin care products and how it works.
Normally I have acne prone skin my face is usually so oily even when I put on makeup or without makeup it’s still always oily . I remember when someone randomly told me I put on oil after I put on my my makeup I was so shocked and she was saying it with so much confidence that she’s so sure I normal put something on my face to make my face shine , it’s always shocking to hear people assume that.
Years back I use to have bad acne and black spot on my face even though I still have black spots on my face it’s more better than before I was so worried and I use almost everything anyone supposed to me even though they never work for me and Even back then organic products were so rampant everywhere but they never really worked out .
I know organic products are really good because they are mixture of herbs which is normally so effective but later on I realize that most of the skin care vendors normally mix things they just choose to put not because they are professional but for the sake of just mixing what ever they want , the fall of organic products ended when Nigeria male activists very dark man called out most organic skincare vendors out for not having their verifier NAFDAC numbers to show that the product is legally allowed in the country and outside the country . The movement helped to put so many skincare vendors in others . They times I come across some vendors putting hollandia you yogurt to their organic products .
I think the way skincare works is different for different skin type the product that can work for a dry skin may not be good for oily skin so I think the first step to getting the right product is by identifying our different skin type.
Since I no longer use organic products on my face I now use the simple refreshing wash for my face and I also use simple hydrating light moisturizer it feels so light on my skin and it
Doesn’t have oil in it including the facial wash after using my facial wash I’m suppose to use a toner but I don’t normally use toner so I use my facial serum there’s new serum I started using it’s called roushun serum I have seen lots of reviews on the serum but i just recently give it a try , I normally use dr Rashel sunscreen but it gave me rashes and dark face so I just stopped using it , one thing I tried doing is to stop jam packing skincare products on my face so I don’t really do much on my face some days I just let my face rest, no serum , moisturizer , sunscreen or cleanser I just let my face be . And I also try to exfoliate my skin at least two times in a week to remove dead skin .
I would not say my face is perfect yet but I’m trying to still find products that suits my body better .
Ps: I’m not a dermatologist , I’m just sharing my skincare journey .
