I cannot tell you how many skin-related questions I get asked regularly. And, truth be told, I usually dodge or completely avoid such questions simply because I am not an expert; I can only share what works for my skin. And for someone who’s main goal is to help people navigate this beauty world and make better decisions, by sharing all they know, the fact that I am not able to offer more advice always leaves me feeling like I’m not doing enough.
You can only imagine how excited I am to be able to sit down with an expert and help you guys get as many of your questions answered. Dr. Bakare is a specialist dermatologist at Laserderm Clinics, an expert in providing medical dermatological care for skin conditions and passionate about providing quality aesthetic care and cosmetic dermatology for all skin types. I mentioned Laserderm Clinics here on a blog a couple weeks ago as one of my recommendations on where to get laser hair removal done (read here). I also got a Stem-cell Facial done, at Laserderm, last week which I shared live on Snapchat and Instagram (Usernames: BeautyInLagos).
Essentially, I am offering you a free skin consultation with a specialist dermatologist. Everyone knows that finding a reputable dermatologist can be a bit of a struggle, so the fact the Dr. Bakare has agreed to take time out of her busy schedule is amazing.
SEND IN YOUR SKIN-RELATED QUESTIONS
I will need you all to send in your questions via the comment-section of this post. Today’s Wednesday and I am sitting down with Dr. Bakare tomorrow afternoon, so you need to get those questions in ASAP.
*****UPDATE****
We are no longer accepting questions under this post. You can watch the Q&A Session with Dr. Bakare here: HOW DO I TREAT HYPERPIGMENTATION, ACNE & ACNE SCARS
