Because Summer is prime swimsuit season, most of you will be getting your bodies ready for the pool or the beach. Fortunately for you, there are treatments within a salon, spa or at home that will aid or assist you in having that beautiful bronze glow.
Your body ages just as your face does and it’s also subject to the same environmental elements that cause it to age. So by using high quality body products, you’ll be able to achieve healthy skin all over.
Just as with your face, your body benefits from a body peel or scrub and they work beyond the surface to reduce coarse texture and fine lines. They also help in diminishing age spots and hyperpigmentation. And, with all of this body peels and scrubs help to maintain healthier more youthful looking skin.
The Body Peel and Body Scrub for Beautiful Black Skin
If it’s a body peel, it’s more like a workout for your skin. You’ll notice almost immediately the difference in your tone and firmness. Peels for your face are something that you can get from your spa or local skin care therapist. Offices that are run by dermatologist or plastic surgeons can provide you with full body peels and they’ll be able to do what’s called a full body treatment.
With a body scrub, it’s also going to help in removing dead skin cells that have built up through out the winter season and from lack of exfoliation. When it’s cold the scrub is going to allow you to remove these dead skin cells and they too will allow you to have youthful looking skin.
For treating skin that’s been sun damaged or dry, your skin therapist will probably suggest that you start with a lactic acid prep, then go into one of the body peels that they recommend. Or, in a spa you can start off with something more subtle which would be the body scrub.
A Home Care System for Black Skin Care
As far as a summer home care system for your beautiful black skin, you want to make sure that you modify your daily regimen. Include things that build your skin such as peptide and increase the humectant support. And you do that with hyaluronic acids.
You’ll also need a topical antioxidants. Add an SPF to that antioxidant before going out in the daytime and yes you can do an SPF over your entire body. Once again, as far as home care for black skin, exfoliation is crucial.
It’s an essential component because it stimulates your skin and your cell turnover and when you have a scrub or exfoliation process, it lifts the dead skin cells and begins the regenerating process.
Physical exfoliators like dry brushing or a hand mitt will exfoliate your skin and hydrate it. You can also do this process by blending fruits together like strawberries and papaya.
You’ll want to look at this as nourishing your skin because when you’re exfoliating, whether it’s a peel or scrub, what you’re doing is using a topical formula.
You’ll want to make sure it includes vitamin A, C and E and you’ll want to have bioflavonoids, ascorbic acid and lactic acid.
And always make sure that what you’re using has a sunscreen in it.
