Skincare expert and founder of Exotic Natural and cosmetics formulator Esther Naa A. Quarcoompe has admonished ladies to use natural skin care products.
In an interview on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning on Monday, she said they are good for natural skin toning with no harmful effects.
“Natural skin products tone your skin naturally, and you should know that it’s a transition, so it takes time,” she told the host, Roselyn Felli.
Unfortunately, most ladies prefer the quickest way to glow and tone their skin, thereby rushing for other chemically infused products, which are harmful to the skin.
According to her, using natural products is the best and healthiest way to go, as they protect the skin from future unforeseen occurrences.
“You should ask yourself, if I want to have a shade B in two weeks, how can this happen? Because the skin has its natural way of glowing and you want to make it faster that means what you’re using is chemical.
"So, you’ll get your shades alright, but think about how your skin will be in the next 10 or 20 years, and there you’ll be coming for anti-ageing products, but if you should be using those natural products, in the next 20 years, you will have healthy skin.”
The cosmetics formulator further mentioned that there are natural skin products made for sunscreening. Shea butter, she said, is not a sun-screening product but is good when mixed with sesame seed oil. Other sunscreen skin products include almond oil, coconut oil, and other oils that can shield the skin from sun rays.
Having been a health practitioner, she quit her profession to apply the knowledge she has acquired and help people grow their beauty naturally within the cosmetics sector. She manufactures products like skincare and natural hair products, as well as detergents.
She said Ghanaians are patronising more natural skin and hair products as compared to previous years because they are more conscious of the health of their skin and hair.
Mrs Quarcoompe also cautioned ladies against relaxing their hair with relaxers because they are harmful to the skin.
