Written by Bouba World

There’s something about snow-capped silence, crisp mountain air, and the crunch of skis against powder that resets everything inside me. This isn’t just a winter escape—it’s therapy.

Dressed in my vintage-style ski gear, with adrenaline in one hand and a Salomon ski in the other, I feel more like myself than ever. No filters, no deadlines—just movement, momentum, and clarity.

“The slopes don’t ask who you are. They remind you who you’ve always been.”

When the beauty world gets loud, I come here. To breathe. To reset. To remember that luxury isn’t always glam—it’s also stillness, solitude, and snow.

Welcome to my kind of therapy.

“You don’t need to change your face. Just learn to speak through it.”

Bouba’s journey is still unfolding. Future plans include:

Launching his own product line rooted in skincare-focused makeup

Expanding his educational platform to offer global certification

Collaborations with international brands that share his values of inclusivity and empowerment

From Verdun to Instagram, from a single brush to a global audience, Bouba built more than a fan base. He built trust, inspiration, and a legacy of empowerment.
