Updated Skin Care Routine
The amount of stress I endured while my mom was in the hospital my self care routines were truly none extent as far as a very unhealthy eating habit and not following a proper skin care regimen for my face. The stress eventually had a party on my face which means I experienced a lot of bad break outs that left a lot of scars on my face. I bet you would never think stress could cause acne to acted up at its best but it did to me.
Over the course of 2 months I have been trying new things (natural home remedies) to cure my problems without using harsh chemicals. Now I must say going this route it does take some time and dedication to see results, but it is very well worth it. I have a few ideas that I will share with you guys that has helped my skin get smoother, very little break outs, and most importantly carefully fading my blemishes. Another problem I had notice about my skin was small craters which are scars from pimples that were deep in my skin and I didn’t like it very well.
For some of my solutions I went to YouTube, but most of them were from a book that I was recommended on at home Holistic remedies (African holistic Health by Llaila O Afrika) . Now if you don’t have this book let me tell you once your done reading this post please go get you a copy and thank me later! This book provides you with a lot of simple methods to cure a few health problems to minimize your doctors visits. I love this book, because it provides a lot a remedies to prevent common illnesses that are in the black community. Best way to avoid some genetically inherited diseases would be to get in front of it before it occurs.

I will be keeping you guys posted on the progress of my new skin regimen. If you are not following me on Instagram don't be shy and go check me out!!! I will be posting my inspiration to get you guys through your day and also posting vids about my skin care regimen as well! I will also be listing below my day and night regimen as well as links for you guys to purchase the products if you can't get them locally!
Day Regimen
- Wet my face with cool water! (Cool/Cold water helps shrink pores)
- Using my exfoliating sponge I use a piece of African Black Soap! (This natural soap is a deep cleansing soap that really gets in your pores to eliminate dirt which forms blackheads)
- Then I go in with a Black Charcoal Detoxifying soap as well! (Cleansing soap as well)
- Dry my face with a piece a paper towel! (I don't use a towel or clothes because they tend to hold bacteria)
- Witch Hazel Toner to tone my face!
- Use an Eye Cream for dark circles and puffiness!
- After that I go in with my oils starting with a spot treatment with Neem Oil. (Great oil for irritated skin and helps eliminate new pimples)
- Then I use Tea Tree oil and Aloe Vera Gel mixed (Both Antibacterial Agents) all over my face.
- To finish it off I use some all natural Shea Butter (Natural Collagen and helps rejuvenate the skin.)
Night Regimen
- Follow the same wash routine as the day regimen !
- I apply the same oils as well except for the Shea Butter
- I use Rosehip Oil and Jojoba Oil (Closest oil to natural skin oil) to replace the shea butter application.
Frequent Face Mask DIY
- Bentonite Clay + ACV ( Deep Cleansing mask)
- Aloe Vera Gel + Lemon Juice (Mask that helps heal your face of irritation and scars)
- Moroccan Red Clay + Rose Water (Promotes a brighter look to your face without causing breakouts)
