Moxie's Diaries!

Hi guys, what’s good! Welcome to another another skincare talk day! When I talk about the oils I use on my skin, I barely mention coconut oil, and there’s a reason for that! It’s not great for your skin; and I mean raw coconut oil!     Coconut oil is very common in homes because we use it to cook, sometimes even include it in our beauty regimen like skincare or hair care! Coconut oil is actually a great substitute for other oils when cooking, but you have to be careful about when you choose to use it because unrefined coconut oil has a smoke point of 350 degrees Fahrenheit according to  jonbarron.org

Wrinkles occur on the face as a result of dryness and lack of elasticity. It can also be as a result of aging or other environmental factors. Below are 8 ways you can get rid of or avoid wrinkles, naturally, and please don't forget to stick to healthier meals too : 1. OLIVE OIL Oh! I can’t emphasize enough on how much I love olive oil. When I tell people olive oil is my night moisturizer, they argue. They always say “how can your skin be so smooth and you say you’re using olive oil?” Oh well.. shrugs

Pimple is a normal skin condition that affects many people. It is an inflammation of the skin in which the sebaceous glands (oil glands) become infected with bacteria, swell up, and get filled with pus. I know how annoying pimples can be, and how they often kill confidence, and make us miserable.  When it comes to taking care of my skin, I love to go about it the natural way 90% of the time, and this is because I know most skincare products contain chemicals that could be harsh on the skin, or make your acne worse. However, taking care of your skin the natural may take a longer time for you to see results, but it's definitely worth it. I barely have pimples except when my period is around the corner; and usually, I let it clear by maintaining a good hygiene - but this doesn't mean that I don't use facial cleansers! In fact, I have a favorite cleanser that is quite effective at getting rid of pimples, and I'll share it with you guys soon. It is important to know th...

Hey guys, so you may or may not know these personal stuff you shouldn't share with anyone. I mean they are things we probably feel like there's no harm in letting someone else use, right? My close friends know that I get irritated easily when some of my personal stuff are manhandled. When it comes to my toiletries, I hardly share too (like my soap, and bathing sponge). Sometimes when I visit my friends, and I probably forgot my sponge, they'll be like 'you can use mine', and I'll be like " eww (while giving them that huh look), I'll rather shower without sponge".  Well, I wasn't wrong after all because I learnt some personal stuff you shouldn't share with anyone. Want to learn too? Let's get started. 1. SOAP BARS  Argh, I just hate when soap bars are messy. I know by now you already thinking I have so many principles? Well, do you know that after each bath, the bar soap is covered with various organisms from your body, ranging fr...

Hi guys, so y'all already know that I'm such a huge fan of sunscreens. I mean I can't talk about skin care without mentioning sunscreen; but the truth is that not all sunscreens are safe to use. One of the most dangerous chemicals to look out for in a sunscreen, is Benzene! Sadly, most of these products won't list Benzene as part of the ingredients. Exposure to Benzene can cause irritation, and blisters on the skin, and when ingested, can lead to death! Recently, a top skin care brand JOHNSON & JOHNSON recalled five of their sunscreens because they found traces of this cancer causing chemical in them. These were spray sunscreens - though I'm not a fan of, but my husband had one of them. Thankfully, he hasn't used it for long. They found this chemical after testing the products in the lab, and according to them, they are investigating to know how these products were contaminated. But for now, they've asked everyone to stop using them, and if you'...
