The secret to having a healthy skin glow

Apart from having smooth, clear skin free of pimples, black spots, and all sorts of bad skin conditions, do you know why it is very important to take care of your skin?

The end goal of taking good care of your skin is to keep it healthy. If you want to know how to achieve a healthy skin glow, make sure you read till the end.

I'm sure you have a perfect picture of what you want your skin to look like. For example, many people want smooth, pimple-free, clear skin, and a larger percentage of us want the ultimate healthy skin glow. If you truly want to achieve your skin goals, you will go through the right process. There are processes like cleansing, purifying, exfoliating, moisturizing, etc. I will write more articles to make sure you know what each process is about, the right products to choose for your skin type, and the correct routines to follow, but there's one secret I have to tell you today.

Sometimes, when you look at your face in a mirror and you don't like the dull skin staring back at you, you might shake your head and tell your friend, "This is not my original colour." It may sound amusing, but it's actually true. When you're trying to figure out why your skin has lost its "original color/complexion," you might come to the conclusion that it's due to stress. That, my friend, is a wrong assumption or conclusion. Let me tell you the truth.

Naturally, your skin undergoes a cycle every 30 days. When this happens, the upper layer of your skin sheds off and a new skin surface appears. This sounds like a cool process, right? The only problem is that when the upper layer sheds, sometimes the dead skin cells don't completely come off your skin. They can build up over time, which is when it can take a toll on your color and/or complexion. They can also clog your skin pores and cause breakouts or acne.

But, there's a very effective and timely way to avoid these skin troubles caused by dead skin cells. It is called exfoliation. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from your skin with a substance. This substance can be used as a face scrub. When you fail to exfoliate your face, you give room for flaky skin, dry patches, clogged skin pores, breakouts, uneven skin tone, and a dull complexion.

All these skin issues can be easily avoided with the simple process of exfoliating. If you're ready to start working on your skin and achieve your skin care goals, you need to start exfoliating. Now, your next question should be, "How do I exfoliate?"

The most common and very affordable way of exfoliating is by using a face scrub. Not just any face scrub, you need to be sure that the product doesn't contain harsh ingredients that can hurt your skin. Milk and honey scrubs are very gentle and can work wonders for your skin. In my next article, we'll talk about what comes next after exfoliation. That would be Part 2 of the secret to having a healthy skin glow. If you want to start exfoliating but don't know what you should use or where to get it from, you can always reach out to me. My contact details are below.

Don't forget, the end goal of taking care of your skin is to have healthy, glowing skin. And, every step in the skincare journey is important. Stay tuned to this blog for more articles on skincare.

By  Adetunji Oluwafemi The Great Ife Students’ Union on Monday, 3rd November 2024, held its planned inter-faculty debate for freshmen. The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it. The event began at 12:35 PM. Faculties were paired and assigned topics: the Faculty of Administration and Science had the topic "Corrupt Democracies are Preferable to Dictatorships"; the Faculty of Agriculture and Dentistry debated on the topic "Subsidy is a Necessary Compromise of the Government, and Should be Implemented in Areas of Essential Public Domains"; the Faculty of Arts and Technology had the topic "Civil Disobedience is a Moral Wea...

MOREMI HALL: A Tale of Night Stories: When Will It End? In the quiet corridors of Moremi Hall, a disturbing series of events has shaken the residents, raising questions about security and the unknown intentions of an elusive intruder.   It all started two weeks ago when the inhabitants of Moremi Hall were awoken to the cry of a lady, "Ole! Ole! (the Yoruba name for thief). At exactly 5:00 am, a guy who was wearing a mask was seen darting across the corridors. He was said to have stolen phones, and while he tried to escape, he was seen by some ladies who raised the alarm.   An eyewitness who will like to remain anonymous said he ran out of the kitchen and jumped down from the second floor to the ground. He sustained minor injuries, and to reduce the chase, he let go of the phones, which he had put in black nylon.   The Moremi residents were able to recover their phones, but he escaped through a gutter, and no one knows where he went. The porters were informed i...
