Us ladies and our reaction to spots, pigmentation and dull skin. Some of our most common reactions are:
Cover all pimples with layers of foundation and seal it in with powder or burst that pimple and burn it with a strong, ‘spot eradicator’. For sunburn, use a harsh skin lightener to erase the pigmentation.
And the list goes on….. and on…….
What about taking the high road, and doing the opposite, NOT be so aggressive and ‘listen’ to what your skin is telling you?
Before attempting to roast that pimple that surfaced overnight with a blowtorch, you should know that breakouts are caused by excess sebum (an oil naturally produced by your skin), which amalgamates into a dreaded eruption. Before peeling your skin off with a blade, sunburn is caused by using harsh acids/creams and not taking the appropriate steps to balance your skin moisture levels under sun exposure to UVB rays (the rays that burn).
The most effective, long-term treatment for these problems is to actually be gentler in terms of the choice of skincare products you are applying. I know, you think gentle doesn’t work because a skincare product must tingle and make your face red as a tomato to prove it is working instantly! But read on….
Botanical treatments for facials have proven to have more lasting results while chemical treatments are a quick fix, which will slowly dwindle away if you stop the treatment course.
Many acne sufferers end up doling out huge amounts of money on courses of treatment that promise to cure acne in 6 weeks or even up to 6 months. It is outright tiring and quite often doesn’t yield the desired results.
With our botanical skincare routine, the active ingredients are all plant based and highly potent. For example, salicylic acid is a chemical recommended for acne treatment; our ingredient, which matches the effects of it, is white willow bark extract which salicylic acid is derived from. This is contained in our chamomile face wash to calm things down and eradicate pimples effectively.
For sunburn, instead of using vitamin C serum, which is actually considered ineffective by dermatologists due to its effect of increasing skin sensitivity to the sun and lack of stability when penetrating the skin barrier, we have incorporated botanical oils (think of it as a dry oil) in our moisturiser. Oils such as jojoba oil, apricot oil, grape seed oil, amongst others will erase your sunburn and replace it with a youthful glow. Is that not your end goal? These oils are in pure form and once again alpha-hydroxy acids such as vitamin C are derived from it. The difference is that they are more stable to get deep into your skin and treat pigmentation gradually and efficiently.
Put down that cheese grater you were about to use to grate your acne away and know that in a nutshell, less is actually more when it comes to skincare problems. Which is why our range focuses only on 4 key steps to tackle all root causes. Think of it as the famous, Korean beauty regimen with fewer steps!

Hmmmmm! Please I have a problem with my face. Right now I don’t use either soap or on my face because none seems good on it. I always have issues on my face each i use any cream or even so can your products solve this problem for me
Hi Nkeiru. Sounds like you have very sensitive skin, prone to breakouts. You might be using the wrong kind of products. I also don’t advice using bar soap on the face because over time the bar of soap builds up germs and bar soap actually contains stuff that blocks your pores too! I advice you replace the soap with our Gentle Chamomille face wash. The ingredients are very good for getting rid of pimples, balancing and evening out your skin tone. All our products are derived from strong and active plant ingredients. Regarding your cream, you should have a separate cream for your face and for your body. We don’t have a body cream but our Jojoba day moisturiser is made for sensitive skin and helps remove sunburn. Go to our skincare section to read more about the ingredients.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the swift reply, yes I have very sensitive skin. So there’s no facial cream you could recommend for me because my face come out dry especially after bathing. I am fair in complexion. So how do i get your product if i want to purchase? Any address?
We have a facial cream. The Jojoba day moisturiser. It is also great for sensitive skin and yes fair skin can use it. It is very hydrating due to the glycerin, jojoba oil, grape seed oil and many more moisturising factors that leave the skin looking healthy and glowing!

Need treatment for black knuckles
Hello Duru,
Dark knuckles are sometimes genetic. However, it can also be caused by using harsh lightening products on your hands. The skin on your hands is very sensitive, so whatever you use on your body to get desired results may not work the same. I suggest you stop using cream on your hands by cleaning or washing them after applying your body cream. What you need is a very hydrating moisturiser with natural brightening ingredients. Our Jojoba moisturiser has glycerin, vitamin A and C amongst others to help reduce sunburn. You can use it as a hand cream and face cream to soften your skin. Your knuckle skin gets thicker and darker when harsh lightening products are used on them. You can also try exfoliating with our Face polish which can be used on the hands too. Read more on our skincare products under each product.
Hope this helps
I have hydroquinone induced ochronosis on my face.have been to several dermatologists without any success. Can your products help?
Absolutely! Depending on the severity, it can be reversed. You need to stop using the hydroquinone immediately first. I recommend you buy the full range of our products to feed your skin with the right ingredients to revive it. Though it will take time, you need perseverance for lasting results. Quick fixes are always short lived as you may have come to realise. With our range of products, your skin will heal, rejuvenate and repair with continued use. If you wish to lighten again, i recommend you stay away from hydroquinone and opt for alpha hydroxy acid based skin lighteners. Our products have these in moderate amounts. The jojoba moisturiser has ingredients to combat sunburn so you will definitely benefit from getting it. Kindly read more under each product to see how it works on your skin.
Hope this helps.
