There was a time I really struggled with acne. It was all over my face and the struggle and helplessness really lowered my self-esteem. I tried out so many products but they were not sorting out the issue. Through social media, I learned that natural products could help. I reached out to one firm that provided me with natural products that sorted my acne. As my face recovered, I constantly wondered how many more women were walking in my shoes, with their heads bowed down by the shame of acne. I started to develop an interest in organic products for skin and later hair. I started to learn and liaised with persons and firms that specialised in these products to get knowledge on how the market operated.
