Are You a Product Junky?

Have you ever asked yourself this question?  Or do you already know the answer to this question?

In the world of black skin care and black skin care products there are a thousand and one products on the market calling out from store shelves to help you take care of your skin.

What are you looking for in a product?  Is it something to make your skin lighter, make your hair grow, remove dark spots, minimize wrinkles, add moisture … what exactly are you looking for.

Black Skin Care Product Junkie

Do you have a vanity full of skin care products with ingredients that you’ve tried before, they didn’t work then but you feel this jar just might do the trick?

It’s okay!

One of the reasons we’ve become product junkies is because we don’t give the product we’re working with time to do its job.

Some of you will give a Dude more chances than you’ll give a product.  You know he’s cheated, lied and has actually been caught but something in you feels like he’ll stop tomorrow or you can change him.

The product you just purchased, if it doesn’t work by tomorrow morning, you’re ready to toss it and move on to the next container.

Toss the Dude, keep the product! At least give it time to show you what it’s capable of doing.

Dark spot removers, skin bleaching creams, acne treatments … these are all products that you’re constantly looking at on shelves trying to find the latest fix.

If you insist on being a product junkie, at least have a cosmetic dictionary in your physical and virtual library.

Check out the ingredients, if you can read them, and become an educated consumer of what you’re feigning for.  Does that dark spot remover contain hydroquinone?

Even at two percent, you’re told it won’t hurt.  That’s like telling your liver as you slowly consume alcohol over the years or you pancreas after consuming just 14 teaspoons of sugar on a daily basis for years on end that it won’t hurt you.

Oops, am I ranting again?

To all my black skin care product junkies …

When you decide to try a new product … and you will … give it three to six weeks to show you what it can do.

By the way, your gift known as melanin, might require a bit more time for you to see results.

If your product choice burns, irritates or discolors your skin, stop using it immediately.

Dedicated To Your Beauty!
