Should I use toners?
Yes, you should.

Many people follow only 3 daily steps in routine skincare: cleanse, tone, moisturize ( exfoliation is also important but it depends on the gentleness of the scrub). Image
Although toning is often interchangeably used with skin lightening, toning is more than harmonizing skin color. In using a cleanser to get rid of oil, dirt and makeup, your pores are opened to allow your cleanser penetrate your skin.
Without using a toner, these pores remain open allowing dirt, oil and makeup to re-clog your pores easily causing breakouts.

Here are 4 reasons why you should use a toner:

1. A toner removes traces of oil and makeup left after cleansing.
2. It shrinks pores preventing impurities and environmental contaminants from getting into the skin.

3. It balances your skin pH (soap is alkaline and our skin is acidic, a cleanser disturbs the pH balance of skin causing the production of oil).
4. Some toners moisturizer the skin.

Note- Your choice of toner depends on your skin type. So be gentle on your skin.

Have you heard of Niacinamide?

If you haven’t heard of it or never tried it, you’re missing out 😉. #skincare

Why?
Because Niacinamide is a skin care ingredient worthy of your attention and your skin will love you for using it.

Niacinamide is also very versatile and good for almost any skin care concern and skin type.
Also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinamide, niacinamide helps visibly minimize enlarged pores, improve uneven skin tone, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and diminish dullness.

Are you this fellow? 😀

Do you make a face like this when you see an ECG strip?

Do ECG strips give you a headache and you’ve given up on ever understanding them? ImageImageImageImage
Do you want to grin and answer in confidence when you have an ECG to interprete either in an exam or clinical practice?

If you answered yes to any of the above, I’ve got you covered with the ECG basics class.

Who wants to look good without breaking the bank or setting a foot in the spa? I'm sure I heard you say "me".

One of the DIY treatments to get glowing skin is FACIAL STEAMING. It's so inexpensive, and you can do it at home with just a bowl, hot water and a towel. Image
Why should you steam your face?

1. Cleansing: Steam opens up your pores and helps loosen any buildup of dirt and other impurities that clog the pores or contribute to acne.

2. Steaming boosts facial blood flow to nourish your skin and deliver oxygen. This produces a natural,
healthy glow.

3. Steaming also helps your skin better absorb skincare products. The result is that your product is more effective and produces the results you want.

4. It’s affordable and accessible compared to other skin treatments.

Fact! Shea butter can make your skin dark.

The reason is that shea butter has a lot of oils in it, so rubbing it and going out in the sun would definitely make you darker (tan) especially if you live in the tropics or in summer. Image
Some suggestions if you want to try shea butter:

1. Rub little shea butter so that your skin can still breathe especially on the face.

2. Clean your skin of make-up, so as to have a clean skin before using shea butter.
3. Use shea butter at night and wash it off in the morning before going out.

Did this make sense? Let me know.
You can also leave suggestions on the type of post you will like to see.

Take charge of your health and skin.💚
