No doubt, the skin is an important organ in the human body for many reasons. It is the organ that comes into contact with the rest of the world. It holds body fluids in preventing dehydration and keeps harmful microbes out.
Without it, the body becomes a soft target for all sorts of infections and environmental tormentors like heat, cold and pain. This is why Rita Ebigbagha, the CEO of Rixari Skin Secrets said she’s on a mission to save the skin.
“The skin is the largest organ of the human body and it serves as a protection to other delicate parts of the body. Due to its largeness, the skin is also the first thing one sees and appreciate. A good skin do not only expresses beauty and class but tells the health status of a person.
“Taking good care of the skin means adequately protecting the skin from the UV rays and harsh chemicals from the environment and work activities. Besides protection of the skin, treating one’s skin also means restoring, sustaining and improving appearance. When we look good, we feel good. That is why skin care is so important: it makes one look good, it keeps your skin healthy, and you will feel good,” she added.
As a Mesotherapy aesthetician and laser Technician, she explained what her job really entails, giving vivid details on mode of treatments.
“A skin therapist also known as skincare specialist or an esthetician is a person that specializes in understanding various skin conditions and proffers appropriate treatment in order to improve the health of the skin conditions. Skin therapists perform services like facial cleansing treatments, laser hair removal, chemical peels, body polishing, etc. Other duties include recommending products based on specific skin needs,” she said.
She said she is also a formulator, who is concerned about developing skincare products using naturally sourced ingredients to treat the condition.
“I have gained certifications on both formation and therapy to be able to build the Rixari Skin Secrets,” she said.
After completing her first degree in Agricultural Economics at Federal University of Owerri with a degree in Agricultural Economics she beamed her academic searchlight on the skin care industry.
