YOUR SKINCARE PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE WORKING BECAUSE OF THIS

  Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate and exfoliate!!Yes,you need to take this seriously. Some of us often wonder that no matter how much we use skin care products like lotions,oils and creams,there never seem to be any visible improvements.While many of our friends use those same products and get  improvements on their skin,we never seem to get  same.

     One common reason this maybe happening is because some of us do not exfoliate at all or maybe we only do that at irregular intervals.Some ladies do not even know that it's important to exfoliate.  Exfoliation is a very important and necessary part of skincare routines. If you aim to achieve that flawless,beautiful and glowing complexion,then you MUST include exfoliation in your beauty regiment and it should be done regularly. 

     Exfoliation helps to remove dull and dead skin cells from the skin and opening the pores to reveal a glowing skin tone.When old and dead skin cells are scrubbed off the skin,beauty products like creams and oils can deeply penetrate the skin surface to work it's wonders thereby effectively revealing visible improvements from these products. When you do not exfoliate regularly,there's a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, preventing creams, oils and lotions from penetrating the skin and improving it.You may end up using several products and getting no results. 



There are several benefits of exfoliation :

#Helps to unclog pores thereby reducing the occurrence of blackheads and pimples.

#Helps to illuminate and brighten the skin

#Helps to detoxify skin

#Reveals healthy, younger skin by getting rid of dead cells and wrinkles.

#Improve skin tone and complexion. 


#Help products penetrate skin better and show results and improvements.

          Exfoliation is a very simple process to add to your routine if you were not doing it before. You can do a home based exfoliation or at Spa for an intense session.Depending on your skin needs and skin type,it can be done once or twice or thrice a week for a MILD exfoliation. Or you can do an INTENSIVE exfoliation once a month.A sugar,salt,oat and rice scrub for a home-based routine can be chosen. Better still you can purchase an over the counter body scrub for your skin needs,depending on your choice .

      Personally,i prefer to do my own DIY Body scrub because I have a sensitive skin.I use sugar, my favourite,i add some drops of carrier and essential oils like coconut,olive,peppermint,chamomile,vitamin e and some others.I like to switch it up at different times with some other ingredients like green tea,milk,lemon peel,honey,etc.

   To exfoliate,wash your skin with warm water and let skin feel damp.Rub the scrub all over body and allow to stay for a few minutes. Rinse with warm water. Allow your body to dry naturally without using a towel for better penetration.You may apply your cream or lotion afterwards. When exfoliating your face,please be gentle and use less intensity so you don't scratch yourself. Some scrubs ar quite gritty and rough. 


   Doing this regularly will improve your skin immediately and you will notice visible difference within days.

CREATING MY 2021 VISION BOARD

 Happy New Year!  New Year, new moves! I'm sure most of us have goals and visions we would like to accomplish for this new year. At the start of every new year, I list my goals on a paper. But this time, I'm not going to just put them on paper, but also i will also create a vision board in order to attach pictures to each and every goals that I will achieve.  What is a vision board? A vision board is a visual representation of all those things that you would like to see materialise within a specific period of time. Vision boards are very powerful. With it, you get to reflect about what exactly you want in your life. It helps to remind you and impose these thoughts constantly in your mind.

HOME SWEET HOME: BACK IN WARRI

   Feels so wonderful to be back in Warri after being away for months. You know, Lagos have a way of getting under your skin and you could almost get sucked into the frenzy. Been living in Lagos for about a year now and I am almost turning into an Eko babe o, lol. But as usual Warri no dey carry last, so am still much of a Warri babe front and centre.    Been a long while I had a road trip. I took a vehicle from the island to Warri. The idea of taking a cab to the airport, the distance from the island and these Nigerian airlines and their unreliability. Your flight getting postponed or cancelled for one reason or the other without any compensation or explanations. We all know how incompetent our local airlines are. You know the routine, so I quietly packed my baggage and all to one transport company. The journey was smooth and bump-less because the vehicle wa fresh and new. It rained on the way and I tried not to sleep but the air'conditioner will not let me live. I dozed
