Peak Milk wanted an advert to go by 2, and they were in the studio looking for a baby's voice.
The baby that was supposed to come was writing exams and someone said,
“Helen that useless voice you use to make noise, can we use it or see if you can do this thing?”

Some countries have been having peaceful protests for months and less than 5 people have died.
But Nigeria has managed to kill up to 15 innocent peaceful protesters and bystanders in less than two weeks 💔💔💔...for demanding an end to police brutality.

In Nigeria, SARS police force is more deadly than SARS Cov-2. More young men are being killed by police brutality than by COVID19.
Thus health professionals should not be silent about this. We need to speak up and advocate for an end to SARS brutality.

Some international companies have terrible double standards. A big international skincare brand is currently marketing and selling bleaching creams with 4-butyl resorcinol (a big brother of hydroquinone) for daily skincare in Nigeria. This will never be allowed in the west.

Skin care tips for the dry season:
1. Stay hydrated - drink at least 2L of water daily, preferably 3L
2. Moisturize your skin immediately after a bath (within 3 mins of bathing). Emollients like plain shea butter and vaseline are more effective during the dry season.

Much Ado about Bleaching!
#Thread
!
Bleaching the skin is first a psychosocial problem because it stems from the ideology that dark skin is not as beautiful or attractive as light skin. This ideology is often promoted by society and is a residual influence from colonial times

Albinos are prone to skin cancer from sun damage because they do not have any melanin which is protective. This is not a spiritual attack or from eating salt...it is skin cell damage from the sun's UV rays.

Was in UK for a bit this year and I realised that Nigeria took more public health precautions than they did. Simple things that were overlooked there perhaps made alot of difference here.
Another thing is we have a young population so many people may have had very mild illness.

IITA is not primarily a resort or vacation location. It's an agricultural research institution that also has very beautiful scenery and landscaping and people who love nature will love spending time there.

Please we cannot over emphasize this enough. Many cream mixers and 'organic' creams are damaging people's skin. Now, about 25-30% of my derm consultations in the last 1 year have these 'organic' creams as the root cause of their skin problems.

But the hostage rescue happened in Nigeria meaning that the kidnappers brought him into Nigeria. They likely have strong bases here to have done so.
There has been so much outcry about the menace of armed banditry in the northern region. This issue buttresses that.

Skin talk: So many people falsely believe certain soaps and creams make them dark.
When you ask them to change from a damaging "toning" soap or cream to healthier skincare products like syndets or plain shea butter they return saying these products made them darker.

It's not meant to "ho" because it's not chemically soap, it's a syndet. Syndets are better for the skin because they are pH balanced and don't strip the skin of its natural oils like soap. It's great choice to maintain healthy skin 😊👍🏾
