My wonder bottle 😁
Skin care to ladies can be as important as to Drinking water. As much as it's considered a complete waste of time and energy, it is indeed one of the Basic necessities every woman should consider because as the saying goes "looking good is good business". Allow me introduce you, my lovely lady to the business of looking good.
As we all know, 70% of the women population world wide have problems relating to their skin, ranging from pimples to severe acne, to sun burn to black spots, dark circles etc. We develop Innately a craving that constantly drives us to want to make ours skin look great at all cost. This isn't abnormal in any way. I for one had this experience which drove me to finding answers to the questions on my face.
A LITTLE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE
Approaching adolescence I knew I was definitely going to have acne related problems. Considering the fact that my Dad had pimples and so did my mom, there was no escape route. Another factor was the fact that I am quite hairy. Although I didn't know this back then but making research I found out that ladies who are quite hairy are prone to more pimples. The extra hairy nature in ladies are as a result of high testosterone in their bodies.Testosterone is the primary sex hormone and anabolic steroid in males which plays a key role in the development of make reproductive tissues such as testes and prostate, as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair. Ladies should have a little of this but When it is higher than normal in females, visual indication is being hairy most times. Ladies with lower than normal can barely have any hair on their skin, usually having smooth body and skin.
My skin a year ago
Too bad I can't get pictures of how bad my skin was about 2 years ago but I hope these ones give an idea. I used so many products on my skin that damaged it the more until I found out about APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
My Braggs Apple cider vinegar
WHAT IS APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
From the name, we are of the knowledge that it is made from Apples. When we ferment crushed apples we get apple cider vinegar. It contains acetic acid and it is a source of nutrients like vitamins B and C. It's acidic nature gives it a sour taste and makes it not so suitable for straight drinking, because it can lead to eroding of the enamel in your teeth. So as much as drinking it is very beneficial, it has to be diluted in water or tea. It's most important content is called the mother, a cloud of yeast and bacteria usually seen at the bottom. It is what makes it healthy.
Apple cider vinegar has numerous health benefits but I'm focusing on just skin care.

My skin currently, smooth and glowing
This was one of my beautiful discoveries in my quest for a better and brighter skin. It's officially my best by the way. Give it a try, I'd suggest a 7 day, morning and night application for better results. You can also serve as a substitute for sunscreen,and makeup can be applied over it when it has dried properly, serving as the protective barrier.
Now I enjoy a beautiful skin all day and I guess you do too, once you've done this.
I hope you find this interesting and more importantly educating. I'd look forward to your comments.
