Why women have damaged skin

Ebele

Recently in Lagos, Sleek Studio, Nigeria organised a seminar to educate their franchises distributors and the general public on care of the skin. Speaking at the summit, the Managing Director, Sleek Studio, cosmetics division, Dr. Mrs. Ebele Ugochukwu said that there is need for more knowledge so that the incidence of damaged skin due to improper use of harmful chemicals will be greatly reduced.

At the seminar, two experts were also on the panel. They gave a holistic approach to the problem of damaged skin. They are Dr. Mrs. Ayesha Akinkugbe, a lecturer with College of Medicine and Consultant Dermatologist, LUTH, and Mrs. Nneka Ugochukwu, a certified Nutrition and Detox Consultant who is also the MD, Beatbond Nig. Ltd (Wellness Centre) Dr. Akinkugbe spoke extensively about the two main problems of black skin which are Acne and Hyper pigmentation (dark patches). She outlined the causes and treatment and also illustrated with some brilliant pictures which were indeed very helpful. “To care for a black skin, we need to exfoliate effectively, use a daily sun protection, cleanse, tone and moisturise”.

Mrs. Nneka Ugochukwu then spoke on the importance of nutrition in maintaining healthy skin. She outlined the vitamins and minerals that one should include in his/her diet and also the need for regular detoxication. She concluded by emphasizing the need for a balanced and healthy skin. “If your inner bodies are not balanced and healthy, your skin will not look good no matter the amount of cosmetics one uses superficially. Good skin is a sign of healthiness”. She, therefore, advised that one eats healthy food, sleeps well and uses gentle but yet effective skin products and supplements to achieve a good skin.
Dr. Ebele Ugochukwu outlined the advantages of the recently launched Sleek Studio skin care range. She said the range was developed to target the problems of black skin specifically. She also demonstrated the proper use of the products, pointing out that improper use was one of the major reasons people do not get the best out of their skin care regimen.

She mentioned that the unique selling points of the range included high quality yet affordable, access to the producer to ensure one always get the authentic product, free consultation with a doctor on any skin care issue. She concluded by saying that the range was a dream come true for Sleek Studio Nigeria. “We are so proud of the range, the quality ingredients and fabulous packaging make for a truly luxurious range”. She also emphasized that the most important information to take away from the seminar is that daily sun protection, daily water intake of 1.51 or more and regular exfoliation is paramount for obtaining healthy radiant skin.

Some of the audience members expressed a general mood of gaiety and excitement especially for those who won products from the lucky dip that everyone participated in. Many said that they were relieved that there was a range they could now use with confidence while a few who had actually used the range said that they loved the way their skin felt after using the products.
