In this conversation, my guest, Keyara Alexander, owner of KA Aesthetics, and we discuss the topic of "self-care through skincare." Keyara shares her experience of becoming a mother at a young age and her relatively easy pregnancy and delivery. She also discusses her passion for skincare and how she intuitively knew about the benefits of natural ingredients from a young age.
- Skincare and nutrition are interconnected, and what we put into our bodies can have a significant impact on our skin health.
Keyara emphasizes the importance of self-care for mothers, highlighting the need to prioritize oneself and set boundaries.
- "Saying no is saying yes to ourselves."
She also advises her younger self to be "selfish" and not seek validation from others.
She discusses the concept: growing as a mother alleviates pain in our children later. Finally, we discuss how options and opportunities are always available and it is never too late to pursue our passions and dreams.
