There was a time when I was told that Black Women, don’t need skin care or a skin care regimen. And this statement came from Black Women.
Now as an Aesthetician, this floored me. I couldn’t figure out why this was the belief from so many of you. So I asked!
The thought pattern was that your melanin was your gift from God and you didn’t need any particular regimen for your skin. Some of you had very strong opinions about this, to the point of hostility.
But all of a sudden Anti Aging is the new buzzword and now you feel that you should be using all of these products.
Now the big question is, are they the right products for your skin? Do the companies that are showing up in your space really have your skin in mind or is it a cover up to get your money.
As an African American woman, it’s not like you’ve just gotten here. So why all of a sudden are you being marketed too? Is it because there are big bucks in appealing to your vanity or do they really have caring for your skin in mind?
Anti-Aging and Black Skin Care
Yes you do need a good skin care regimen for your beautiful black skin. One of the things that happen when we “Mature” is that cell growth slows down. So those beautiful new cells don’t rise to the surface as quickly as they used to.
And you need a regimen that will slough off the dead skin cells so that your skin can have a much more radiant and younger look.
A good exfoliation treatment keeps your skin looking youthful and it removes the dead skin cells that can cause uneven skin tone. That’s right! Dead skin cell build up can cause your skin to have a dull, ashy gray look. And this is attributed to a lot of what we see as uneven skin tone.
As we “Mature” hormonal imbalance and medications can also attribute to the appearance of uneven skin tones. If your skin is not taken care of properly, you will begin to experience that tired, worn, aged look.
Nutrition and Mature Black Skin
While topical products are typically what we run to first, it’s the lifestyle change in nutrition that will give you the greatest boost in how well your skin matures.
Remember, true beauty is from within and anything that’s applied on top of your skin is to enhance what ‘s coming to the surface from within.
The best black skin care regimen is to combine nutrition and a skin care product that’s made specifically for your beautiful black skin and make it a lifestyle change.
