Importance of Facials

Importance of Facials: A woman’s face is one of her greatest assets. It is no wonder that cosmetics is a billion dollar industry! In their quest to make maximum use of this asset, many women are substituting makeup for skin care. I saw a pitiable story on Facebook recently.

It was of a Nigerian woman whose husband divorced her after he saw her face for the first time without makeup. We have read about similar incidents in other countries; an indication of how good we are getting with using makeup to conceal our perceived inadequacies.

        I am convinced that nobody is truly ugly. There might be irregular facial features, but that speaks to the ingenuity of our Creator. A woman who takes care of her skin, especially the face, does not need to operate under the tyranny of makeup.

It can be stressful trying to keep up this fake image of ourselves. What we have done in this edition is to present the importance of facials as a beauty therapy. We hope to highlight some of the facial therapies in subsequent publications.
