African American Skin – Does It Mature Well? [Update 2020]

African American Skin, does it mature well?  Every October 4th,  I celebrate another Birthday!  One of the things that we encounter on birthdays is how well we look to ourselves in the mirror.

I use to walk three times a week. Since the coronavirus landed in our space, I’ve changed my routine. I watch what I eat, so I like the reflection that I see in the mirror.

Don’t get me wrong, I will have my sugar fix, I just don’t have as much as I used to.

What about my skin?

It matures well but its condition is all based on how well I’ve taken care of it and how well I continue to take care of it. This applies to all of you as well. You can’t take garbage in and expect your skin to reflect radiant beauty back at you. It will eventually reflect a dullness and lack luster appearance.

Maturing African American Skin

I love the idea of maturing.  Just because you’ve added another year doesn’t mean that  you can’t have  soft, radiant, luxurious skin as a mature person.  You have to take care of your skin if you want to have these results.

You must have a black skin care regimen – cleanse, tone and moisturize your face and neck as well as your entire body.

Yes your entire body needs a good cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing. The interesting thing about maturing, is if you will listen, your body will tell you what it needs.

When you see the ash and flaky skin coming off inside your socks or Knee Hi’s, you know it’s time to exfoliate your body.  Once you do, not only will your skin feel soft as a baby’s bottom, you’ll feel better about the way you look!

A lot of the challenges of dark spots and uneven skin tones are related to dead skin cells that have built up on your skin and never, in some cases, been exfoliated.  Of course when you decide to pull chin hairs and pop pimples or squeeze blackheads, you’re adding to the trauma of your skin and inviting dark spots to come on board.

So, leave the tweezers alone and have your chin hairs removed by an electrolysis or have your chin waxed in a salon that specializes in caring for skin.  Your local nail salon is not that place.

Remember, we’re in the middle of a global pandemic. Tread waters carefully as you venture out to have your personal touches taken care of.
If you know an esthetician, that will come to your house and do facials and hair removal, invite 3-4 friends and make it a day for you and the girls. Even if it means taking everyone temperature at the door, it can turn out to be a really fun day.

African American Skin, does it mature well?  I say it does!  Just look in the mirror and see how young you really look!

That’s it for this week.  As always …

Dedicated To Your Beauty
