MY INTERVIEW IN THE SUN NEWSPAPER: “TONING IMPORTANT FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN”

Spread the love
Bola Akinboade-Bello is the brain behind Chanterelle Skin and Beauty
product, a vision she had in 2013 to create natural skincare products, which is
free of parabens, synthetic chemicals, hydroquinone, steroids, mercury and
other harmful bleaching ingredient. In this chat, the former City People
Fashion Editor offered simple tips to achieve a flawless skin.
What is the best cream for oily skin?
Oily skin is the opposite of dry skin. The person has large pores and have
excessive production of sebum. That means the sebaceous gland is hyper active.
The best cream for oily skin are oil free products. You should also watch out
for words like non-condogenic, blemish control, oil control, pore minimisal
when picking out product for this skin type.

What is the benefit of skin toning?
Toning is important for both men and women as it is the protective step
after gentle, but thorough cleansing of skin as it keeps pores clean, skin
healthy and breathing and thus more receptive to ultimate in nourishing care
that comes with moisturizing.
Due to age and other causes like weather, pollution and other toxins in the
atmosphere, the face and other parts of our body start to sag and show
wrinkles. You have to tone your skin for a youthful, rejuvenated feel. The
epidermal cells gradually lose their capacity to produce new cells while the
dermis that produce collagen loses its elasticity, resulting in a dry skin and
wrinkles on the face. Toners can be used to clean the last traces of oil from the
skin. They do not close or open pores. Sometimes they cause a slight skin
irritation which makes the skin feel tighter. Skin toning lotions freshen the
skin. They also stimulate the blood supply to the skin.
How can one achieve a flawless skin?
Flawless skin is a skin with perfect complexion, no blemishes, and no dry
spots – just a smooth and radiant complexion.
The basic skincare for all skin types is simply the C.E.T.M, which stands
for Cleanse, Exfoliate, Tone and Moisturize.
Cleanse: Using a cleanser to remove dirt is considered to be a better
alternative to bar soap or another form of skin cleanser not specifically
formulated for the face. Choose cleanser that is suitable for your skin type.
Exfoliate: Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin radiant
and smooth.
Tone: Use a good toner. It helps you to remove the residue that the
cleanser, exfoliant couldn’t remove
Moisturize: Moisturizers increase the skin’s hydration (water content) by
reducing evaporation. Skin types vary, and so must your moisturizer. Despite
our differences, nearly all skin types can benefit from the right type of
moisturizer.
What is the best way to maintain a black skin?
Women with darker skin have a different set of challenges than women with
lighter skin. Most skin care products are formulated to women with light,
combination skin, meaning black women need to choose their skin care products
and routines carefully. From the right type of cleanser and moisturizer to the
correct procedure for wearing sunscreen, black women should care for their
skin’s changing needs.
If you have darker skin, cleanse it only once daily. Washing your face too
often can deplete it of moisture, giving it a chalky appearance. Choose a
gentle cleanser that doesn’t contain drying soap.
Moisturizing should be an integral part of your skin care routine. Dark
skin is notoriously dry, so a thick and emollient moisturizer should be applied
several times a day.
If you prefer natural moisturizers, consider those made with shea butter
and coconut oil.
Although the extra melanin in your dark skin protects you to an extent from
sunburn and, subsequently, skin cancer, 
It’s important that you wear sunscreen each day as part of your skin
care regimen, even if you never seem to get a sunburn. Make it a habit to apply
it before your makeup in the morning, and protect your entire body with
sunscreen when headed outdoors.
What is your advice to those who bleach their skin?
Skin bleaching is a no-no for me because the consequences is more than the
gain. Every bleaching product contains two main chemicals, hydroquinone and
mercury, both toxic. Hydroquinone is a chemical used for photo processing and
hair dyes. Mercury is a carcinogen. These products both work in the short term
to lighten the skin by stopping the production of melanin in the body.
Continuous use of such products can cause disfiguring rashes, unsightly
blotches, and skin so weaken that it cannot be stitched if cut. And if the
chemicals in some of the these cosmetics are absorbed into the bloodstream,
they can damage the liver, the kidneys, or the brain-even causing organ
failure.
Hence, everyone should be happy with their natural skin colour. You can
improve your complexion with natural lighteners which does not have any side
effects, but don’t alter your skin tone by using harmful bleaching ingredients.
