Thabang turns to nature for skincare solutions

Blessed (or cursed) with a combination skin, Thabang Legoabe gave up trying to find a fix on supermarket shelves. Instead, the agripreneur started his own company which features moringa and CBD

Thabang Legoabe’s idea to start his line of skincare products originated from his own skin issues. But instead of browsing the endless and often confusing aisles of beauty stores and supermarkets, this skincare fanatic took matters into his own hands and founded Paledi Skincare Solution, a CBD skincare company.

In an article published on Health For Mzansi, Legoabe from Mamelodi in Pretoria shares how his battle with combination skin became a solution for many with similar issues.

“I have got a very complicated skin. My face is oily but when it comes to the rest of my body, it tends to dry out quickly, even after applying lotion, my skin dries out quickly,” Legoabe says.

Moringa and CBD

Paledi Skincare Solution prides itself in using moringa and CBD oil as its main ingredients.

“Moringa contains over 30 antioxidants that works great for your skin, while CBD helps with retaining moisture in the skin, as well as encouraging skin to repair any damage caused by scarring from pimples.”

His skincare company offers body butters, lotions, shower melts, bath bombs, skin serums and liquid soap, which are all Cosmos-approved approved.

Take care of your skin

In the article, he also unpacks why skincare to men is still considered a “feminine topic” and why it’s important to take care of yourself and your skin.

“You need to take good care of yourself. When you look good, you feel good.  I am in my mid-40s and I sometimes look at my peers and their skin. It is like they are old people yet they are still young.”

When it comes to food, Legoabe firmly believes that what we eat affects our skin. He has taken a personal decision not to eat kotas anymore. In the article, Legoabe explains why.

He also shares a few skincare tips for the gents. Click here to read more.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 21 global awards in the first six years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
