If you’re dealing with oily skin, especially a consistently shiny T-zone, you know how difficult it can be to keep oil at bay throughout the day. While quick fixes like blotting papers or mattifying primers can help temporarily, the real solution lies in your skincare routine. Using the right ingredients consistently can help regulate sebum production over time. Here’s a look at the actives worth adding to your regimen if oil control is your goal. 1. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Niacinamide is one of the most widely used ingredients in skincare, particularly for oily and acne-prone skin types. Though it appears in countless K-beauty products and can be polarizing for some, many people, including myself, have seen a noticeable difference in oil production with continued use. After about three to four months of using a serum with 5% niacinamide and 5% tranexamic acid twice a day, the oiliness in my T-zone, especially around my nose, decreased significantly. Niacinamide helps balance oil production while also strengthening the skin barrier, which in turn supports better hydration and reduces the risk of overactive sebaceous glands. It also works to improve skin tone and texture over time, making it a great all-around active for oily […] The post 6 Skincare Ingredients to Look Out For If You Struggle With Oily Skin appeared first on BN Style.

If you’re someone with acne-prone skin, you probably already know that every little decision in your routine matters. But here’s one timing trick that can make a big difference, always do your skincare after you’ve done your hair. It might sound minor, but the reasons are compelling (and kind of gross when you think about it). 1. Hair Products Don’t Just Stay in Your Hair Whether it’s mousse, gel, oil, heat protectant, or hairspray , these products have one thing in common: they’re not formulated for your face. During the process of styling, these products often end up on your skin without you realizing it. That spritz of hairspray? It definitely landed on your forehead. Hair serum? It drips. Edge control? Your stylist may press it in with their fingers, then adjust your bangs or move your face without wiping their hands. These products are typically heavy, occlusive, and full of pore-clogging ingredients like silicones and waxes. If left on your face, they can easily contribute to breakouts, especially around your hairline, temples, and forehead. 2. Stylists (and You) Touch Your Face More Than You Think Even with the best intentions, hands that have just applied product to your hair will […] The post You Should Wash Your Face After Making Your Hair, Especially If You Have Acne-Prone Skin appeared first on BN Style.

When Ore Akinde received her first interview request, she had no idea what to say. She knew that the stylish tops and cardigans she was making were a breath of fresh air in a time period where the trend was “My money grows like grass” shirts. She knew her pieces were starting to draw attention online and that was why people wanted to speak to her, but knowing didn’t translate into knowing how to articulate her story publicly. “I didn’t know what everybody wanted,” she said. “I was still new to all of it.” In her first few interviews, she chalked the beginning of her business up to a breakup, which is a common origin story for many ambitious women. But with time, she’s come to understand it differently. Akinde wanted women around her to look beautiful and wear unique pieces. Crochet wasn’t common then, and she wanted students, young women like her, to stand out. Her breakup with the unsupportive boyfriend did light the spark, but it doesn’t deserve the credit for her growth.  Ore started out selling Ankara tops in her first year at university, but quickly realized not only were her profits low, the sizing was also […] The post From Side Hustle to an International Fashion Brand: Ore Akinde’s Fibre Art Empire appeared first on BN Style.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua vowed opposition will not reveal its preferred presidential candidate any time soon, saying the decision is a calculated strategy to President William Ruto.

ODM leader Raila Odinga is facing a moment of truth with strong implications for his political future as he remains steadfast in his support for President William Ruto.

President William Rutos Kenya Kwanza coalition is fracturing, torn apart by bitter infighting, unchecked political ambition, and disillusionment among its supporters.

Debate on Joho's significance in Rutos reelection appears to be powered by persisting questions about Raila Odingas dismal performance in the 2022 polls in Mombasa and the Coast.
