Efe Irele, Nigerian actress, says her battle with hyperpigmentation motivated her to start her own skincare line.
The actress, narrating her ordea with the skin disorder during an interview with Punch ,stated that she felt insecure during her battle with the disease.
Irele said, “My skin at its worst was my inspiration for creating a skincare line. I remember how insecure I felt when I was battling hyperpigmentation and terrible hormonal acne. I have had different skin issues at different times. Sometimes, I did not even want to go outside, not to talk of being on screen.
“There was also the constant struggle to figure out what products wouldn’t make my skin worse. Those who know would tell you that it’s ‘hit or miss’ out there. All that put me on the path of gaining more knowledge about skincare and creating products that solve most skin issues with super effective formulas that help boost confidence.”
The actress further expressed her excitement to how her colleagues turned up for the launch of her skincare line, Irele said, “I feel blessed and loved. I have been able to develop some relationships that began on movie sets into real friendship. That is why you saw them there on that day. It wasn’t convenient for them to attend, as many of them were on set filming that day. But, they still made it. I owe them big time.”
