Why I Only Use Natural Oils and Butters for My Skin

July 7, 2019July 8, 2019

A few years ago, I resolved to use only products with natural oils and butters to cleanse and moisturize my skin after realizing how toxic the skincare industry can be. Fun facts: The skin is the largest organ and it has the ability to heal itself. But, how well it’s properly cared for from the inside and out is key for healing and its overall health.

  • I never thought I’d see the day when I’d be comfortable enough to wear shorts and sleeveless tops, yet here I am (plus, it’s way too hot in the South!). It took me years to get over this. I am learning to embrace my insecurities, and also realizing that the things we are most self-conscious about are truly all in our heads. I’ve been affirming myself that the more I do something that scares me, the more confident I become. Can we also talk about how bomb golden hour is on brown skin though? 💛🌞
  • I read a comment today saying that “Natural hair isn’t for everyone.” To be honest, I think that statement is a lie. How is the hair that naturally grows from your scalp not for you? I always wonder why it is that Black women, particularly those with kinky hair strands, continue to find it difficult to love and care for their hair. I think there are two main reasons: a lack of genuine learning and also having unmet expectations of what our hair “should” look like. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ My own hair is prone to tangles, endless knots, and isn’t always cooperative. But I learn how to care for it because that’s how I build my confidence and to accept what God has given me. I do this also so that my future daughter learns to love her natural hair, because I sure didn’t as a kid.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Learn your hair. Let’s stop making excuses. ❤️

  • Fun fact: I decided to get these bright reddish pink nails when I needed a little confidence boost. I got this color before my very first date with Manny! I was a nervous wreck that day y’all, lol. Red is one of my power colors, alongside orange and black. I might have to go back to this color and shape really soon. It is one of my favorite SNS sets so far. Do you have a color for a confidence boost? Or is it just me? 😜
