Knowledge is power.
This means the key to skin success/goals is to know and understand what your skin is all about.

Do you feel me? Okay, let me break it down.

Can you service a car if you don't understand the engine? Image
Same way, if you don't know your skin type and what your skin is all about, it will be like pouring brake oil in the radiator and you will be wondering why the car is overheating ...#egetwhy

Today's post is about the difference between men's skins and women's skin.
You should know that besides having facial hair, there are some differences between a man's skin and a woman's skin. These are the ways:

1. A man's skin is 25% thicker than a woman's skin because of a hormone (testosterone) produced in men.
2. In addition to being thicker, a man's skin texture is tougher.

3. Men also have longer-lasting acne because sebum (oil) production is greater in males than females and they have oilier skin. This is attributed to male hormone secretions.
Male hormones are also partly responsible for why women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) produce more oil and have more acne than other women.

4. Regardless of age, men have a higher collagen density than women.
We know collagen content is directly related to the signs of skin aging, and this is why it has been said a woman's skin is about 15 years older than a man's of the same age. But this "15 year" skin age difference is not readily noticed men are more exposed to the sun
and do not use sunscreen.

5. Regular Shaving
Shaving the skin is a form of intense exfoliation (removal of the outer skin layers). This can can lead to a more youthful skin and men do this a lot, giving them an edge over women.
But shaving can also irritate skin and lead to more ingrown hairs or bumps if you're not careful.

It's a good idea to change your razor blade every 3-4 uses if you shave often, or whenever your razor starts pulling, nicking or rusting.
This will help ensure your razor stays sharp for a closer, more accurate shave. To prolong the life of your razor, dry it off after you shave and avoid storing it in a wet shower.

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.

Have you registered?😉
If you want a trial of what to expect in the paid ECG basics class, do visit my YouTube channel (link in bio) and read the reviews from attendees in my highlights.

If being a good medic with ECG skills matters to you, don’t miss this 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.💚
