Pampering Your Skin Naturally - Essential!

-


Did you know that your skin is your largest organ? Mmhmm, indeed so!(respect 😉) Then, your skin is your vastest barrier, fending off infections and other unpleasant stuff day in,  day out, and it is imperative that this barrier remain healthy, nourished and moist for it to be as effective as you would wish it to be, and more.

 It also is your temperature regulator and on-point filter! And lots more other tasks...  .Well, it so happens that the skin cannot to all that work and still occupy itself with maintenance, you would agree with me 😉. That is where you come on like the valiant rescuer that you ought to be, perpetually. Remember too, that your skin is in a constant state of growth, with old cells dying off,  and new ones forming.
Well, proper skin care is of the essence, if you care about your physical appearance. Unhealthy skin has the unpleasant tendency of looking dull and sallow, with rashes, sores, and wrinkles more likely to appear and sink deeper, especially if it is dehydrated, whereas healthy skin appears full, robust and vibrant!

Here are a few tips you must cling onto, to keep your skin healthy.
Proper skin care means thorough cleansing and nourishment.
- Choose mild soaps of bathing lotions whose chemicals wouldn't irritate your skin, drain away moisture and pollute your skin.
-For the face, avoid using very hot water to wash it because moisture is sucked out in the process. Warm or cool water would be preferable.
- Apply your body lotion after bathing thereby retaining moisture.
- Avoid smoking,  too much exposure to sunlight, and eat properly, prioritizing vegetables and fruits.
- And then, drink alot of water which, besides numerous benefits, cleanses pores from the inside.
In subsequent posts, I would propose suitable skin care products, especially natural ones, and how you can use them for your daily skin care routine.
Hope you enjoyed the article. Please share if you did, to help others!

Is gift-giving worthwhile during end-of-year festivities?

A tour of some of the main markets of Garoua , the capital city of the North Region of Cameroon, would leave anyone overwhelmed . The Christmas season leaves no one indifferent, muslims and christians alike. An upsurge in economic activities constitutes an integral component of end-of-year festivi ties, with each member of the society expected to chip in his contribution. As such, traders pull out all the stops in restocking their shops with the most attractive of goods, ranging from toys of all sorts, christmas lights,garments, and other accessories. These goods certainly need buyers, especially parents and guardians,who are expected to procure gifts , whatever the cost. Requests made by celebrants know no limits, who obviously worry the least about what purchasers have to go through. Some borrow large sums of money, others resort to uncivic and unchristian practices to raise the money they need, and after the feasts, start worrying about how to repay loans and balance necessary a

ILLICIT TRADE IN, AND CONSUMPTION OF PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS POSE A VERITABLE HEALTH HAZARD IN CAMEROON

-

It is not in  any way a mystery, that the average person living in Cameroon feels very much more at ease, purchasing and consuming drugs, more often than not ill-prescribed by self-proclaimed, uncertified medical practitioners, whose work environment happens to be the streets or provisional structures. For the common trend is that Governments’ action against unauthorized imported drugs lay emphasis on so-called repression rather than on prevention. It is an all too familiar scenario: a huge quantity of pharmaceutical products, described as illegally imported, including banned substances, set on fire in public, under the glare of local authorities. While governments’ action may underscore their concern for the health of the population, one is nevertheless bound to ask why it is reactive, rather than proactive. The destroyed pharmaceutical products comprise counterfeit, uncertified and unlicensed drugs, which leaves one with no choice but to ask, how the drugs found thems

"What?", she queried. " Haven't you ever seen someone chewing?" I hurriedly appologised, and then told her of my curiosity about her snack, which to me looked so appetizing and attractive. Her annoyed expresson quickly transformed into a glowing one, evidently relishing the prospect of having to unravel the fascinating process of creating a batch of fried groundnut paste to an ignorant human being. "First, your mindset must be prepared, for the process is an age old tradition that is very much respected", she declares. " Then you take all the time you need in birthing a magnificient batch of fried groundnut cookies." Fadi has been
