Are you suffering from dry and rough skin? Women of color can typically achieve a beautiful glow after a session of moisturizing.

So, rest assured, there are plenty of ways you can bring your dull skin back to life!

Follow these beauty tips for radiant black skin that is every African American woman’s dream:

Invest in a Quality Moisturizer

It’s time you head over to the beauty store or your favorite online store and treat yourself to a quality moisturizer. While beautiful black women are less prone to sun damage, you cannot undermine the importance of moisturizing. It is imperative you look for a moisturizer that matches your specific skin type.

Since black skin requires the use of fewer emollients, we recommend you purchase a handy water based moisturizer for yourself that will keep your skin soft and supple without leaving behind unnecessary greasy residue, resulting in a radiant glow.

If you are afraid of all the artificial chemicals in the product, look for natural/organic ingredients. You can also rejuvenate your skin using natural nourishing oils, such as jojoba, coconut and almonds. Dark skin tends to dry up quite easily, hence apply the oils on your face before going to bed to moist skin and let it soak overnight. You will wake up in the morning with radiant and glowing skin.

Use a Mild Cleanser

Cleansing plays an imperative role in good skin care. Invest in a mild non-foaming, creamed based cleanser that will remove dirt from your skin, without stripping away its natural oils. If you have dry skin, cleanse your face morning and night. Washing your face too often might drain it of moisture, resulting in a chalky and unattractive appearance.

Avoid using harsh soaps and detergent based cleansers and opt for milder formulas with natural ingredients. If you suffer from sensitive skin, consider testing the cleanser on a patch of skin before applying it onto your face.

Eat a Healthy Diet

Apart from investing in quality beauty products, upgrade your diet to achieve beautiful, supple and radiant dark skin. Slathering your face with heavy, chemically loaded creams might not always be the best option as it might clog pores and solve only part of the problem. Include foods that contain healthy fatty acids in your diet, such as avocados, eggs and olive oil.

Consuming healthy oils, such as olive oil and coconut oil, not only results in beautiful skin but also curbs sugar cravings and promotes weight loss. Use olive oil as a salad dressing or for cooking delicious and healthy meals.

Follow the above mentioned tips to tackle dry and flaky skin. In a matter of days, you will be surprised by how healthy and revitalized your skin turns out.

That’s it for this week!  As always …
