Well today is the day I finally tell my story,
Brace yourself. This is true embarrassment.
So I watched a makeup tutorial. It was fast forwarded on Instagram but still showed all the products used in the video. So I figured, I can do this. I’m a quick learner, always was. I’m a visual learner also and seeing is believing. One thing I do not like to do though, is read. I’m working on that because 80% of successful people like to read. Now I’m confident I can be in the 20% , but life has showed me to take my chances with the bigger numbers. Plus, reading makes me feel intelligent, like I just accomplished something. Okay, back on track. So in the video, the beautiful, black queen used Nair to remove hair from her face. She proceeded to apply her makeup after wiping it off.Yes, I do have hair on my face. No shame here, I’m still as beautiful as God made me. I think hair removal makes for a refined look. So boom. I go ahead and try. I had some Nair stored away so why not, right? Nah. I should have just chose not.
So I used Nair that’s for your whole body. Not the face. If I had read the directions, it said not the face. If I read the products in the video, it says Nair for face. Not verbatim, but it clearly says face. Well, I leave it on for close to ten minutes. I swipe it off like yasss. My face looks smooth and what not. I’m ready to do this makeup so I can take pics for the gram’. You know, show out a little bit, get my likes up. I got Drake playing and I’m singing in the mirror all hype.
Skip scenes.....
Not too long after, my face started burning like Hell. No, I never been and don’t plan on going, but I’m sure this is what it would feel like. Both sides of my face turned red. Everywhere I put it on swelled up so bad. It was so itchy! After freaking out cause I knew my life was over, I just laid in bed stiff as a board. Why on earth would I do this? I’m hardheaded but this is next level rigidity. I text my Malley like help! Mad exclamation marks. I took pictures and sent them like “i’m dying!” I needed a shot of Vodka and Henny. Yes I would’ve mixed light and dark at that point. Anything was better than feeling like Spawn. Okay, it wasn’t that serious,but I did not need this impediment in my life. I couldn’t beat my face. Nair already gave me them hands. I couldn’t take pics. I couldn’t even look in the mirror. Sigh.
Well, I had to get out of that self pity. Luckily, a light bulb popped in my head and reminded me that I had some good ol’ Bentonite Clay in my closet. Thank you Jesus! I did a clay mask for about three days straight. I do not recommend this. Desperate times calls for desperate measures. I put it on and it soothed the sensation my face had from the irritation. I only left it on my face for around 5 mins each time. I rinsed it off and followed up with some Shea butter. I made sure I drank the recommended amount of water each day. That is half my weight which is none of your business, thank you. I’d say it took about 2-3 days to finally clear up.
Bentonite is magic in a clay! It has many uses, including clarifying wine. It detoxes the body. I feel like it drew out all that killer cream from my face. I only used clay and water for my face mask. In hair, it’s great for drawing out toxins. They bind to the Bentonite clay and depart when it is rinsed from your hair. This is good since it is not recommended to shampoo your hair too often. It’s gentle on the hair. I take about a half cup of clay and 1/4 cup of olive oil and honey. I mix those ingredients with water until it’s like a hair wash. I apply it to my hair for about 25 minutes and rinse. I deep condition before and apply my leave in after.
Since I started using it in my regimen, my curls are so much more defined. After each mask, my hair feels so soft and manageable. My face feels revitalized. No,I will not be using Nair anymore. We parted ways shortly after. I’m thankful to still be alive and I accept my face as is.
Check below for the before and after pictures. Please read everything to it’s entirety and follow all directions.If you are looking to try some Bentonite Clay, I am a proud seller of this magical potion! Thanks so much for tuning in. Please comment your thoughts below. Blessings!

Omg I almost did this before but I shy’d Away lol , it looks like it healed very good . There’s a myth out there that if you shave your face it’ll grow back thicker which isn’t true & that facial hair you see on your face is called velus hair I think I spelled it right lol but it’s basically just peach fuzz it’s not terminal hair so removing it won’t hurt . But anyway I’m glad your face is back to normal lol��
ReplyDeleteI heard that for years, but my eyebrows didn’t grow back the same after getting them done. Glad that’s not true! And yes it is thank God! Lol
