Mental Health awareness is something I will always strive to promote and something I am always personally working on. Let’s be honest, when depressed self care goes out the window. Going through my journey of healing has really made me focus on things that make me feel better. Walking my fur baby, learning more at work, learning healthy eating habits. As well as making sure my skincare and hair care routine is taken care of. I thought why not give those products a share!
Let me tell you! Being dehydrated from not drinking enough water, the intense heat, and wearing a scrub cap often has done my skin wrong! On top of keeping up with my water intake and keeping my skin hydrated, this little baby has been my golden weapon for small outbreaks. Especially the little monsters that appear on my chin from wearing a surgical mask all night at work. Popping this on with a q-tip before bed blesses my face before its time to conquer another night!
KIEHL’S CLEARLY CORRECTIVE DARK SPOT SOLUTION
Skincare is always a daily routine now for me. It used to not be, and it definitely showed. Using this as one of my serums to treat my dark spots and scaring was surprisingly effective. I don’t really have anything negative to say about it either. It absorbs great into my skin, leaving a smooth feeling rather than a sticky feeling.
EDGE NATURALE FOLLICLE ENHANCER
I have always viewed taking care of my hair as taking care of my crown. Whether that be a TWA style, buzz cut, big and beautiful fro, or transitioning. I’ve always put my expression in my hair. With Covid-19 steady rising, wearing my scrub cap at work has become my new normal, along side my slick back ponytail.
With constantly wearing my hair back as well as being in dry environment it can willing start to dry out and break your edges after a while. Something that I take pride in maintaining. Having this product sent to me was a God send. With natural ingredients and the minty smell it makes sure that not only is my edges moisturized but they are healthy and stay thick.
Trying this over the course of three weeks I noticed a change in my roots being not as thin, as well as my scalp being hydrated and not flaky like it used to be after finishing up at 12 or 16 hour shift. Also odd observation, who needs gel when you have this! Laid them edges down nice! Will definitely continue using throughout my natural hair growth journey!!
MEASURABLE DIFFERENCE -ARGAN OIL – INSTANT FACE & BODY MOISTURIZER
With the weather constantly changing all the time, being in dry environments, and getting sun burn staying hydrated in all areas is a go. Especially once the winter hits. We don’t want the skin to feel like its cracking outside folks! Mixing this with lotion or body cream has been the most glorious experience ever! Or when wanting to be fancy, place this on my chest or shoulders and place highlight on top; talk about glow!!
Making sure to take care of yourself can be hard in the times that we are all in. But it can be a way of decompressing after a long day. Or even practicing time for yourself. I look forward to sharing more with you all as I continue my journey of self love and self care.
God bless,
Andrea Othela
