Flora's Aura-Skinwise

"I struggled with a body that kept me in a constant state of fear and discomfort until I realized the true beauty of imperfection." In a world obsessed with filters and airbrushed perfection where radiant skin and flawless faces are plastered over every screen, social media and magazine cover, it's easy to feel like our real selves don't measure up. Embracing real skin isn't just about skincare; it's a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. It's about acknowledging our skin as-is with its vulnerabilities and insecurities. It's about recognizing that these ‘imperfections’ don't define us; they're simply a part of our story. I've learned that true beauty lies not in flawlessness, but in authenticity. It's in the courage to show up as we are, and to choose to love ourselves fiercely, despite our perceived flaws. In the midst of my recovery, I realized that in a span of two years, I aged by what seemed like 10 years. My skin a...

Ever felt like your skin was begging for a little more life?

  Its 6.23pm and I have just had my first meal of the day. For the past 2 weeks I’ve gotten used to having one meal a day, ‘why’, one might wonder. Well, it started off as a family challenge with a 72-hr fast which I enjoyed so much because my body ironically loved not having food to digest every 3-4 hours. This filled me up with so much energy and mental clarity that I decided to somewhat extend the fast, albeit modified. So now I eat once a day at between 4 and 6pm, and I love it. Today also is the first time, I finally finished what I consider the first really good version of a product I hope to release in January, 2024. After over +10 formulation revisions and unnumbered all-nighters over the past 3 months I can comfortably say that, this new product is 95% at where I want it to be.
