When I was younger, I felt embarrassed of my Bengali culture. Being brown meant being called names just for the colour of my skin, being made to feel different, like something about me needed to be toned down or hidden. Brown girls got bullied for having oily hair at school, made to feel gross for something that was completely normal in our culture. Now hair oiling is considered a hidden beauty secret for beautiful glossy hair. I was embarrassed of my thick eyebrows too, always feeling like they stood out too much, now everyone’s trying to grow theirs back. I didn’t realise back then that the problem was never me or my culture, it was the lack of understanding around it. Now I look back and genuinely think… wow. Bengali mums cooking five curries on a normal weekday like it’s nothing, feeding their families with so much love, skill, and history in every dish. The food, the beauty rituals, the traditions, the resilience; all the things I once questioned and was embarrassed of are the very things I’m proud of now. What once made me feel small that I tried to hide, now feels powerful. Growth is realising that what you were taught to be ashamed of by society can actually be your greatest strength.

Now I’m determined to spread the message that being brown and showing your culture is not embarrassing or weird, it is beautiful! Which is why my whole instagram is dedicated to my fellow brown community! Brown girl tips on skincare, beauty and life so FOLLOW along to join this beautiful community 🫶🏽

Debunking myths:
1) parabens were never proven to cause breast cancer
2) silicones are not the enemy, they nourish hair and prevent breakage
3) sls / sles isn’t harmful, but some may be sensitive to it so you only need to avoid if that is you.
4) fragranced skincare has no benefit other than smelling nice but it actually masks bad smelling raw materials so without it, your skincare may reek or be formulated without it which means the formula is restricted and not as good as it can be. I’d only avoid fragranced skincare if you have a known allergy or irritation to it. If you don’t then there is no harm. I usually prefer my skincare to be fragrance free because i prefer it to smell of nothing as a personal preference, not because it makes it harmful!

What is it with aunties wanting to look x3 shades lighter than they are? When you buy a lighter foundation, you don’t look fairer, you look GREY! It does not look good! Sorry not sorry!

If you want to look lighter & brighter, buy a lighter concealer to brighten in target areas and brightening powder to highlight the centre of the face 🥰 Makeup can be used in many ways, so if you want to be ‘fair & lovely’ do it right 😏
