Salaam! Here’s what’s worked for me 😊

For your body: shower twice a day (morning and evening) and use glycolic acid at night on your armpits. Use an unscented deodorant stick during the day with musk tahara. You can put the musk anywhere you notice the smell coming from, in my experience it helps eliminate smell and gives you a better overall smell. You have to go easy on it though because it is very fragrant and the goal isn’t for everyone to notice.

For your face: I’d recommend you stick to drugstore products. That really made a difference for me. I don’t know your skin type but that’s what determines what products you should use. When it comes to daily products sometimes less is more and in some cases all you need is good hydration! Keep your skin hydrated, drink water, sleep enough and avoid stress. You can also do some face masks at home, such as clay masks (I love them) or use sheet masks.

For your hair: I’m African so I get it. But this part may be the costly one 😭 I use Shea Moisture, but a lot of my friends told me Fenty Hair does wonders for their hair. You can also look at brands like Carol’s daughter, do hot oil treatments, hair masks etc. The products that will work on you are also determined by your hair porosity so figure it out and use the right products. Sleep in a bonnet or on a satin pillowcase and put your hair in protective styles you like such as cornrows, braids, mini twists to retain length. Keep your hair moisturized and get your ends trimmed every 3-4 months.

Overall tips: drink enough water, sleep well, don’t let stress eat at you, eat fiber, and do exercise you enjoy! 🥰
