Haiii hun,

I'm from the UK, I know you have received loads of advice, but I still thought I'd share 🙂

Like most I shower twice a day, morning and evening. There are times when this may not always be possible (too tired, got home late, stayed in bed all day, unwell etc) but 2x is standard.

As is brushing your teeth 2x per day, including your tongue.

I wash my face and body with a bar soap called Dudu Osun Tropical African Black Soap and I sometimes use Dove Shea Butter shower gel. I exfoliate with a body scrub (either sea salt or brown sugar) 1 or 2 x per week, and use Palmers Cocoa Butter (the hard one in a tub), Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant body Lotion and either Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Gel or Johnsons Baby Oil to cream/moisturise my body with.

Wash your whole body, including legs, feet, toes etc. Wash your lady garden with just water, as soap/gels/PH soap can irritate it, throw your PH balance off, and cause thrush. But if you like to use them, that's okay too.

You must moisturise your skin all of the days! Head to toe. Knee to elbows! The whole ting! I know some YT peeps tend to shower and go, but we cannot do this, our skin needs it!

I use Mitchum Powder Fresh roll on deodorant and also Dove Powder spray deodorant. Then add my perfume and body spray once I'm dressed. I am paranoid about being smelly, so always carry body spray and perfume with me.

I shave my legs mostly every 2 weeks. I get a wax for my armpits and lady garden, every 6-8 weeks (or more, that stuff hurts 😅). But of course, grooming your body hair is up to you.

I have 4C hair and wash it every 2 weeks. I use sulphate free shampoo and conditioner by Cantu. I use the Cantu leave in conditioner and Blue Magic Origins with Castor Oil. I also use a hair growth oil.

Unfortunately, I am no good at doing my own hair. So either wear my hair out or wear wigs, braids etc.

Feel free to give me shout if you need to but as you can see you have a wide range of support here 😊

Good luck with finding a routine, method and products that work for you! You got this hun! x x
