Introduce yourself and what you do.

Tell us about your SKINCARE company.
An unblemished skin speaks louder than voice. It says who you are, your lifestyle and class. We all deserve that vibrant, fresh, smooth and vivacious glowing skin that commands attention, respect and appreciation.
That is what we do at EVER GLOWING SKIN (EGS). We have taken skincare to an unimaginable height with a meticulous combination of health-giving anti-oxidant vitamins, anti-ageing enzymes and cell renewing products. Miracle in bottles professionally woven into distinct products and services. All EGS skincare products are plants based.
How did you get into Skincare business And what year?
I used to look far older than my age. My dark skin was dull and almost lifeless which had a negative effect on my self-esteem. My skin was sun-damaged. I wanted a skin tone a bit fairer without the use of chemically formulated cream.
I was using palm oil, rice water, turmeric and many more natural remedies for years before I went for professional training in the year 2014 on how to do it right the first time. My skin and that of my clients all over the world say much about our quality control system. I look much younger now @48. All thanks to EGS plant extracts based products.
You have a flawless skin tone that glows. How did you achieve it? How can other ladies achieve this skin tone?
Skin do respond to treatment when it’s fed with nutrients, not chemicals. From age 40, good skin is no longer a gift. You must work for it. I treat my skin like a baby who needs to be nurtured. It’s my largest organ and my first home. I see the sun as the number one enemy of the skin so I protect my skin aggressively from the midday sun. No exfoliation, no glow.
People must create time to exfoliate there is at least once a week to take dead skin off the surface. No matter how good a skincare product is, it can’t work effectively without exfoliation except the product is chemically formulated. We need to create time to pamper our skin. Drink enough water daily to keep dehydration away. I can’t do without Vitamin C 1000mg.
Apart from the fact that it boosts immunity, it also loaded with antioxidant that gives your skin clarity. Sleep. It doesn’t hurt. Getting enough sleep can take wrinkles and fine lines away for a very long time. When you use EGS skincare products regularly, at least a minimum of 5 years will be taken off your looks. They are age-defying.
What are the common mistakes ladies make with their skin?
The search for cheap, fast and magical products has landed a lot of women in trouble full of despair, frustration and lots of hard-earned money down the drain eventually.
They get a sunburn, skin tags, stretch marks, dark circles and more from the use of chemically formulated cream.
Skincare is not a magic but the results can be magical if you follow the routines. Women should please stop the use of chemicals and embrace plants based products. I can’t wait to see women whose skin are damaged through the use of chemicals sue those who lied to them about their products thereby destroying their largest organ. I believe when they start paying damages, they will be forced to stop the act of wickedness.
These days every lady wants to look light. Why is this so?
The truth is fair, healthy skin looks more attractive. Even those who sworn never to tamper with their natural skin tone still edit their pictures till they look fairer. @EGS, we have wonderful products for dark skin that makes them glow with pride. The result is simply amazing but even at that people still buy more from our skin lightening range of products.
Fair skin is more attractive. If you must change your skin tone, make sure you don’t put your health at risk. I achieved this skin tone 12 years ago with the use of plant-based products and I look much younger now. It’s very difficult to believe I was born dark skin. Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.
If you want to maintain your natural skin tone, please use the right products for your age group and glow with pride. If you desired light skin, be ready to embrace nature for desired results.
What is your advice to ladies who want to tone up or lighten up their skin?
Like I mentioned earlier, be ready to work. You have to be committed to your beauty routine the same way you’re committed to doing your daily chores. To get a good result with any skincare products, you must be ready to put in the work. Exfoliation, steaming, masking and moisturizing must be done at a go at least once a week to unclog your pores and prepare your skin for treatment. Skin lightening is not cheap.
Don’t even bother if what you’re looking for is 3k products that can turn you to Kim Kardashian. It won’t work. Wait till you can afford the right products. Use carrot oil, cold-pressed coconut oil, turmeric, cucumber and more while waiting. Mix cane brown sugar, olive oil and unadulterated organic honey together as body scrub if you can’t afford expensive body scrub yet. The result may be slow but sure. This way, you won’t get your skin damaged.
A good lightening product must give you natural skin tone. People should find it difficult to believe your skin was once dark.
Stay away from taking any injection for skin lightening. It won’t make sense to be jumping from one hospital to another fighting for your life at old age due to accumulative negative effects of steroids on your vital organs.
Tell us about where you were born and growing up years?
Born and bred in Kwara state. Growing up was fun. All thanks to God and my late dad. He was my hero. I read Statistics, University of Ilorin.
