Fuel With What Feeds You
Self-Care Is More Than Skin Deep
Every business has a human behind it. Every office has a face, a smile, a presence that carries the work forward. And every one of us deserves to step into the day feeling confident — not worried about brittle hair, dull skin, or the changes happening inside our bodies.
That’s why we are intentional about preaching, teaching, practicing, and promoting self-care. Because all of life is integrated. When your skin and hair feel cared for, you carry less stress, you show up with ease, and you move through your day with one less thing to worry about.
This week we focus on fueling yourself with what feeds you — inside and out.
Women in Perimenopause & Menopause
Hormonal changes in this stage of life are not just “little shifts.” They’re real, and they’re visible:
- Up to 30% of collagen is lost in the first 5 years after menopause — skin becomes thinner and less elastic.
- Sebum (oil) production decreases — leaving skin drier and hair more brittle.
- Hair follicles shrink — leading to shedding, thinning, or texture changes.
This can feel unsettling, but it doesn’t have to mean the end of glow.
How to Support Your Skin
Think of your skin like a favourite fabric — with time, it needs gentler washing, richer conditioning, and more mindful handling.
- Since joining the 5th Floor Gang, I have graduated to the Mary Kay TimeWise Repair Range and found it is designed with exactly this in mind. Its Volu-Firm Complex strengthens elasticity, boosts hydration, and softens the appearance of lines.
- A good night cream and eye cream become non-negotiables, not luxuries. They work while you sleep — because skin heals best at rest.
How to Support Your Hair
Hair changes too — but natural oils are one of the simplest ways to fight back.
- Our in-house brand, OnyinyeByTWC Botanical Hair Oil, blends herbs and oils like hibiscus, moringa, and chebe, which not only strengthen strands but also nourish the scalp where growth begins.
- A gentle scalp massage with oil is more than care — it’s a ritual that reduces tension and reminds you to slow down.
Inside-Out Fuel
Supplements can make a visible difference:
- Omega-3s help keep skin hydrated from within.
- Collagen peptides support elasticity and firmness.
- Biotin and B vitamins encourage healthy hair and nail growth.
Think of them as daily deposits into your body’s “self-care bank.”
Men — Because You Deserve Care Too
Self-care isn’t just for women. Men’s skin and hair change with time too — often in quieter but noticeable ways.
- Beards with grey often become coarse, wiry, and dry.
- Skin under the beard can flake, itch, or look dull.
- Stress and environmental exposure (sun, shaving, pollution) show up as fine lines and tiredness around the eyes.
Beard Care
- The OnyinyeByTWC Beard Oil softens texture, conditions grey strands, and moisturises the skin beneath so beards look polished, not patchy.
- A daily few drops are enough — and it leaves a subtle sheen that feels professional, not heavy.
Skin Care
- Our clients swear by the Mary Kay Men’s Range. It is built for men’s skin, which is about 25% thicker than women’s and produces more oil. A simple cleanser + moisturiser with SPF protects skin daily, while an eye cream reduces puffiness and fine lines.
Why Oils and Rituals Matter
Natural oils are some of the oldest, most trusted forms of care:
- Jojoba and argan oils mimic the skin’s natural barrier.
- Hibiscus and moringa are packed with antioxidants to fight stress.
- Fenugreek supports circulation to the scalp, encouraging growth.
When worked into a ritual — a bedtime scalp massage, a few drops in your beard after a shower, or a nourishing night cream before lights out — these small practices become signals of self-respect.
And rituals have a way of sticking, even when motivation is low.
Confidence Is Fuel
Confidence isn’t about perfection. It’s about knowing you’re showing up as your best, whatever season of life you’re in.
When your skin is nourished and your hair is cared for, that confidence frees you to focus on bigger things — your work, your family, your goals. That’s what self-care does: it takes one worry off your plate, so you can step out lighter.
Final Thought
Self-care is not indulgence. It’s a way of saying: I matter, too.
We believe in making self-care practical, intentional, and integrated — because your whole life flows better when you’re well.
