1. Like I tell you, genetics has a major role in the kind of skin and hair that you have. This is now greatly modified by environmental factors. So if you have good skin but you damage it by using all the wrong things, then you're the architect of your misfortune.
2. On the other hand, you may not exactly have great skin but you can make it better and healthy by doing all the right things. Eat well, avoid unhealthy stress, drink lots of water, exercise, rest.Then use a good moisturizer and a sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Not more than 50
3. Throw in some retinol cream at night. Then moisturize your skin liberally. And love the skin that u have. I assure u, your skin will be healthy. We look for trouble all by ourselves with the things we apply on the skin. You don't need antiseptics as a soap or in your bathwater
4. Stop taking away your normal flora. As for your hair, it may not be long but keep it healthy. Avoid hairstyles that pull your hair to prevent traction hair loss. Even packing the hair tightly can cause this. If you like, keep feeding the hair like it is asking for food...
5. If you're not Rapunzel, your hair may never be like those people you're seeing showing you DIY videos 🤷‍♀️.
Healthy skin is not being fair. It is making sure that whether dark or fair, you're doing things the right way.
Healthy hair is not just long hair. Remember that.
6. I saw an advert of a soap here with three popular actresses and I'm sure people are rushing to buy the soap because of them. I laugh in whitening soap. They even mentioned it at the end of the advert that "it will make you fairer". I hope you don't think these people
7. In the advert are using these soaps? Be not deceived.
It is very easy to damage the skin...but to repair it becomes a slow and difficult task. Be careful what you put on your skin.
As for you that you have braids for 8 weeks and you get to your salon where they tell you while
8. combing your hair that it is "breaking" and you should buy one cream or the other? I'm here to tell you there's really nothing wrong with your hair. It is normal to lose up to 50 - 100 hairs in a day. You've had your hair in braids for 6 weeks? The loss will look exaggerated
9. And for people like us that have dreads?You'll see that your front hair is improving because you're not combing again.Combing frequently is also a form of traction. A lot of the hair we lock together in dreads contain dead hair that should have fallen off and that is why even
10. When you unlock it, a lot of it still falls off. It's okay though. It is still your hair.

Take care of your skin and it will thank you for it. Be careful what you apply on it.
A word...more like a thread is enough for the discerning wise.
