As an African, living in Africa, I didn’t hear much about sunscreen growing up. The first time I heard of it was probably in a cartoon or a movie and even then, it seemed like something only white people need because “black people don’t get sunburnt” right? Wrong! The science of sunscreen goes way beyond preventing sunburn and everybody with skin needs it!
Most days last year, I spent an obscene amount of time on Instagram. Instagram is basically a vortex and if you aren’t careful, you will find yourself spending hours on it doing nothing productive. This year however, I have tried to have more self-control and I have found some pretty amazing beauty and lifestyle content creators that I love and learn from.
Taos Cosmetics was one of those hip new-kid-on-the-block beauty brands that sprung up in the Nigerian beauty industry over 4 years ago.

Today, I will be reviewing their Dolly Lana eyeshadow palette.

I have totally been into skincare lately. I'm going to be reviewing a charcoal scrub today and it's really affordable so that's cool. Activated charcoal has been a recent skincare rave and it is fantastic at drawing out impurities and unclogging pores.
Growing up, whenever I complained that my hair was dry, someone would say “oil your hair”. That analogy makes no sense because when you are thirsty, you don’t drink oil right? You drink water. So when hair feels dry, it needs moisture; that’s why a leave in conditioner that provides moisture is essential for healthy longer hair. It's even more awesome when it balances moisture and protein.
Personally, I think Asians are the skincare gods. That continent is so diverse and each unique culture has blessed the world with great natural skincare products and remedies from the Indians and their turmeric to the Japanese and their konjac. Wait, you didn’t know about Konjac? Let me gist you.
