Gloria Chiko Okpara
Growing a community of skincare lovers who enjoy science-backed skincare content in a predominantly colourist nation is tough. Chiko demands more respect for creators and better skincare education in the beauty industry.
As I got older, I realised most of the things people knew about skincare were wrong. I decided to talk about them and help people make better choices.
