THE WONDERS OF SKIN CARE By Okiki Oyetunde

A good skin care routine is as good as the products being used While good quality products can help your skin look better now as well as in the future, poor quality products can be ineffective and even cause harm. Those who take the time to wash their face in the morning and at night are more likely to be making healthy choices throughout their day. 

However in Nigeria due to hurdles ranging from lack of time, finances, various myths about skincare etc many citizens end up using harsh and toxic substances on their skin which causes skin disorders over time.

Skincare specialist Mrs Yetunde George noted that most of her customers come around when a damage has been done to their skin. She also complained that overtime because of the cost of the items needed to maintain their skin some customers resort to harsh substances for skin care because they are cheaper.






Mrs George stated shedding skin cells throughout the day is so important to keep your skin glowing and in good condition, with an effective routine helping to prevent acne, treat wrinkles, and help keep the skin looking its best.
''As you age, your skin’s cells turn over more slowly, make it look duller and less radiant. Using a quality skin care line can help remove dead skin cells so your body will replace them with newer, more youthful cells;'' she said.


She advised washing your face gently with a product designed for your face and if you have a dry skin, you will want to choose a cleanser that doesn’t have alcohol, and if you have oily skin, look for an oil-free cleanser then rinse with warm water.


She added that poor quality skin care products are more likely to cause ineffective results, infections, allergic reactions such as rashes and worsening problems by clogging pores which causing breakouts.
Mrs George appealed to the government to checkmate the import of harmful and harsh skin care products in order to prevent the rise of skin disease in Nigeria. She noted that the skin needs to be taken care of to enhance healthy living.
