FASTING A SPIRITUAL PREPARATION for SEPTEMBER 23, 2023🪘🪘🪘🪘

Beauty trends are often set in the USA and adopted by bawaNtu in the rest of the world. Sadly research on major beauty trends that have been in existence for years is has been done in the last decade or so as Black scientists have become concerned at the health disparities between Black women and other racial groups. Majority of Black women in Africa don’t have access to the alarming findings of said research. Please share this knowledge with others so they can be empowered to make informed choices about what trends are worth following.

A rule of thumb: if you cannot eat it. Don’t put it on your skin.

Be careful of what you put on your skin.

The worst-scoring products aimed at black women, according to the report, were hair relaxers and bleaching products, but some lipsticks, concealers and foundations also scored poorly. Many of the hair relaxers and dyes contained lye which is used to break down chemical bonds in hair. Some chemical hair straighteners have been linked to baldness or a higher risk for growths in a woman’s uterus, the researchers point out. Often, hair products contain fragrances which have chemicals that are not always disclosed on product labels. “Even the [products] that market themselves as ‘no lye’ have other ingredients that are also hazardous and could cause chemical burns,” says study co-author Paul Pestano, an EWG senior database analyst.

Coming live Friday 8pm Africa Time, 1pm EST for an in-depth conversation on the SKIN you’re in👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿❤️see you then

Things to remember about the foods to eat to list. In general, when cleansing it is important to avoid eating anything processed and high in sugar. Parasites, yeast and mucus all thrive off of high sugar foods and eating them would be counterproductive while cleansing. However, there are a few exceptions. Fruits like papaya and pineapple contain powerful enzymes that aid in parasite elimination. These fruits can be consumed while cleansing. Berries are also ok to consume as long as you are not dealing with an extreme candida outbreak. It is also extremely important to avoid eating all meat, gluten, dairy, eggs and seafood and stick to a plant based diet while cleansing.

Preparation Tip: Eating organic is always great but it is extremely important to remember that organic produce needs to be cleaned thoroughly, especially while cleansing.
