Hello friends!
My passion for skincare has always been a secret one to all but those few who know me best. I have quietly nurtured it always hoping to find something transformative, as the explorers of old search for El Dorado.
As my obsession has grown into a collection of products, like little jewels strewn in the cave of wonders, I have accumulated a treasure trove of knowledge. What works? What doesn’t? What’s is worth the hype…and the money?
Recently I’ve also found that, historically, blogs, articles and write ups have focussed on a consumer that doesn’t always look much like me; 30 something, hormonal ravaged by pregnancy, and a generically hyperpigmented woman of colour. Thankfully the tide is now changing and there are a growing number of contributions from all ages, colours and identities on the LGBTQ spectrum. I hope to add my unique voice to the chorus.
Now, with the benefit of idle hands during 3 am breastfeeds, I have the opportunity to share what I’ve learnt. While this blog isn’t only for my demographic, I can only write from that experiential viewpoint. However I hope there are commonalities that anyone can access and find useful, interesting and informative.
I’m so excited to share my experiences with you. Happy reading everyone. 💫
