Those aren’t wrinkles, it’s just thirsty skin

Hello, this is Akos from Orobaa of Africa.

I've had many women come to me worried about wrinkles, only to discover their skin isn't wrinkling at all—it's just extremely dehydrated. It's craving water and nourishment, much like a piece of leather left in the sun. When leather dries out, it shrinks and becomes rigid. However, when we place it in water, it softens and expands, becoming supple and easy to work with. We can apply this same simple concept to our skin.

The Skin's Thirst for Hydration

The skin is an organ, and like all organs, it loves to drink and eat. The key is to keep things simple. All you need is water, an Orobaa oil, and a butter.

• Hydrate: Use water to hydrate the skin. Water has the lightest molecule and no barrier, allowing it to penetrate and plump the skin.

• Nourish: Next, massage with our Orobaa Body Oil, locking in that hydration.

• Seal: Finally, seal all the moisture with one of our rich butters.

Unlike products with emulsifiers, preservatives, or mineral oils that create a barrier, our natural products have no barrier and will absorb directly into the skin. It's nature feeding nature—that's all there is to it.

Reversing Dehydration and Maintaining Plumpness

Once your skin has recovered after about a month of this routine, you'll see it plump up, much like a teenager's skin. To maintain that plumpness, you can introduce our Hyaluronic Serum. Apply it where the fine lines are, gently pushing it into the skin.

Remember, we can’t cheat nature; we can't fight wrinkles. But we can prevent them from appearing prematurely. We treat wrinkles as wrinkles and dehydration as dehydration, because they are not the same. By treating dehydrated skin, we can reverse it.

As you head into summer, you can seal in that plumpness with a butter or a lighter face moisturiser. It's a simple, basic routine, because even though the skin is a very complex organ, it thrives on simplicity.
