Most of the time, I get questions like, “What do you do? and why do you always look so good even when you are not using so many products?
People also ask why my hair looks the way it does, why my skin glows, and how I always manage to smell so nice.
Honestly, my routine is much simpler than people imagine, so I decided to share some of my little secrets 😂
Let’s start with my hair, I love my natural hair and believe natural hair is truly top-tier. I try to keep my routine simple by using products that work well for me.
One thing I use is rice water, which I prepare and leave for a few days before using. I also use cloves water around my edges and aloe vera gel to help keep my hair soft and support the appearance of healthy edges.
Another product I use is Lush Hair Softener Daily Leave-In Treatment. These simple steps help me maintain my hair’s natural texture.
For smelling good, I believe layering scents makes a difference. Instead of depending on just one fragrance, I combine a few perfumes, body sprays, deodorant, and my main fragrance.
I don’t literally use a thousand perfumes, of course! I simply combine a few scents that complement one another. The result is a pleasant scent that lasts longer.
When it comes to my skin, I keep things surprisingly simple.
I mainly use my Argan huwaii body soap and turmeric oil. Sometimes I make the turmeric oil myself, and other times I buy it.
And before changing any product, I always check the ingredients because I have learned what works for my skin and what does not.
For example, I avoid products containing Coco, carrots, Kojic acid, hydraulic, hydrochloric ingredients that I know can make my complexion look darker or do not agree with my skin.
I also try not to overload my skin with too many products. Keeping a routine simple has helped me maintain my complexion and glow.
But beauty is not only about what we put on the outside.
I also pay attention to what I put into my body and how I live.
I take in plenty of fruits and stay hydrated
Water-rich foods such as watermelon and cucumber are some of my favourites. I also try to avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun and only go out when I have a reason to.
Beyond skincare, hair care, and smelling good, I have also learned that feeling good starts from within.
I enjoy getting enough rest, listening to music, keeping my surroundings clean, and spending time with people who make me happy.
I also try to speak kindly to myself and avoid comparing my appearance with other people.
Sometimes, I simply take a quiet moment to relax, pray, read, or enjoy my favourite things.
At the end of the day, my secret is consistency, simplicity, and knowing what works for me.
In times, the best beauty routine is not the most expensive one, it is the one you can maintain.
