  • Hi everyone!

    One thing we as people of color fail to realize is just how much inflammation or irritation can be setting us back from achieving our skincare goals?

    In today's episode, I share some wisdom on how to reduce hyperpigmentation, which is something we tend to struggle with by simply minimizing irritation or inflammation where possible.

    I do not want us to focus on what we have no control over like acne, skin disease or trauma. But instead, to focus on everyday skincare habits. This could be in the sunscreen, toners, serums, face washes and even moisturizers we use.

    I hope you enjoy this episode. Please do not forget to share!

  • ABOUT TODAY's EPISODE

    Hi everyone!

    Are you struggling with your skin goals even though you are using the latest and/or best skincare actives like tretinoin, retinol, azelaic acid, vitamin c, peptides etc?

    For the record, there is absolutely nothing wrong with actives, in fact your skin needs them to be the best they can be. That said, they can be very irritating and we tend to trivialize just using the bare minimum to support our skin barrier.

    Did you know that a healthy skin barrier MUST be incorporated into your skincare regimen to reap the most benefits? Actives are great but I think non-actives might just be what you are missing.

    Enjoy today's episode and please support my podcast!

  • ABOUT TODAY's EPISODE

    Hi everyone! This season is packed with "gbas gbos" - not sure how to explain the latter to my non Nigerian listeners. Let's just say we are debunking myths in hair care as we reach for healthy hair. We will explore common hair problems such as hair fall, dandruff and split ends, and see if these hair care practices we are avoiding, could actually help mitigate these.

    Even though heat styling gets a bad reputation, we will talk about how heat styling might not be the enemy, and how you can grow long healthy hair with heat styling. In this episode, we show how heat styling can reduce single strand knots, smooth the cuticle and increase length retention. It is important to know that wet hair is hair in its most fragile state. So wet hair CAN lead to decreased length retention through promotion of single strand knots, cuticle lifting, tangling and breakage As usual, we will be debunking these hair care myths with scientific evidence Heat styling is not for everyone so take what you need and skip the rest. That said, if you have coily hair and have struggled with retaining length and you need a hair growth tip, try this and let me know. When embarking on heat styling as a way of retaining length in our hair growth journey, it is important to use heat responsibly. Use of a heat protectant is important. Consider investing in heat tools that use lower temperatures to achieve smoother hair. For example, Dyson hair dryers and Rev Air are great.

    So come back next week as we do a deep dive. Don't forget to subscribe/follow this podcast!

    Hi everyone! Following from last week's episode, in today's episode, we look at how to actually prepoo.  Remember, as much as this step is beneficial to a healthy hair care regimen, it is totally optional. Hair care should be fun and enjoyable. I was quite clear in last week's episode, but in case I was not, this is exactly how to prepoo.

    Following up from last week's episode on the hair cuticle, today's episode focuses on all we can do to preserve the cuticle. If you want to see inches, and you have not been paying attention to the hair cuticle, then this episode is for you. I discuss why the cuticle is important, what causes damage, and steps we can take to preserve it, as long as possible. Cuticle damage will lead to exposure of the hair cortex, leading to split ends and we do not want that! Enjoy, and make sure you apply the knowledge.

  • ABOUT TODAY's EPISODE

    The sun has been demonized for a long time,  and some may argue, rightly or wrongly so. Well well well, in today's episode, two "detectives" will argue if the sun is friend or foe. This episode has been split into two and so this one focuses on the disadvantages of the sun. If you listened to part 1, you will have discovered who the detective was (heehee). Itching to hear the disadvantages?  ERRRRM, click play!

This episode has been split into two and so this episode focuses on the benefits of the sun. It is almost incredulous to think the sun has benefits. Are you itching to find out who the detectives are AND what benefits they might have discovered? ERRRRM, click play!
