The goal is beautiful black skin. Now, how do you go about obtaining your goal? It’s simple actually, however, it’s not easy.
There are so many factors that come into play when you’re working to get and keep your skin flawless, radiant and glowing. I’ll talk about three of them.
Nutrition – You are what you eat. How many times have you heard this statement? Your skin and its appearance will be the first to show you that something is not quite right internally.
Dark patches, acne flare ups, dull looking and ashy skin are all signs that you’re not eating nourishing foods and drinking enough water. Food is meant to nourish you and your skin from the inside out. High sugar and high salt intake can quickly dehydrate your system.
Opt for organic green foods and fresh fruits whenever possible. Do your best to eat within season and region. Vitamin supplements and herbal products are also part of giving your skin that radiant glow you seek.
Products will aid and assist you with your skin care challenges. However, it’s the food you’re eating that will give you your greatest improvement with your skin. Speaking of products …
Products specifically for black skin and their ingredients will enhance the results that the right food provides. Hyaluronic acids to add moisture, vitamin C for acne challenges, along with essential oils for skin care and aromatherapy treatments, to name a few. Shea, cocoa and mango butters for smooth as a baby’s bottom skin.
You’ll look for these ingredients in cleansers, moisturizers, serums and butters. They’ll help you along your journey when looking for an effective way to have beautiful black skin.
Minimize Stress – For a long time, stress was not discussed, as a culprit in skin challenges. You’d be surprised at what a good nights sleep can do for your skin. The lack of sleep can often leave you with puffy eyes and bags. Not mention the dullness that will appear from an undernourished body.
Clean blood needs to circulate and provide life-force to your body. When this doesn’t happen you’ll see your skin taking on a different shade. Stress creates anxiety and this causes toxins to develop in your body and into your bloodstream. Toxic blood can change the color of your skin.
Professional Services such as facials, body wraps, massage treatments and reflexology are all ways to enhance the beauty of your skin.
A good skin care therapist will know how to analyze and care for your skin. They’ll know the right mix of products for your skin type. Some therapist are personalizing their treatments by offering customized products.
When done right, these treatments will bring your glow to its highest level.
Believe it or not, Stillness will often help enhance your skin’s beauty. This is why you see a lot of people looking for ways to relax. A slow walk in the park, a yoga or tai chi class are great ways to bring stillness to your mind. Some of you have referred to these practices as having a slow talk with the Creator Source. If you find that this works for you, keep doing it.
Others of you need to sweat, punch or scream in order to release stressful moments. Have at it. What ever works, Do It.
Finding ways to have beautiful black skin is definitely attainable. Following these simple suggestions, will put you well on your way.
That’s it for this week. As always …
