  • Always patch test.

  • Hydrate from the inside (drink water o 😅).

  • Track what works for your skin, not just what’s trending.

  • Be patient — glow takes time 🌷

Conclusion

Glowing skin isn’t about expensive products. It’s about consistency, smart choices, and listening to what your skin actually needs.

You don’t need ₦30k to glow.
You just need to be soft with yourself — and smart with your picks. 💖
