Perfect Black Skin, Does It Really Exist? [Update 2022]

Perfect Black Skin? It’s no secret that many of you struggle with your skin tone, dark spots and a host of other challenges.

In a society that places a high value on beauty, it can be difficult to feel confident and beautiful when you don’t feel that your skin measures up. Measures up to what? Who’s standard?

Firm and moist, good elasticity, free from blemishes, no scars, no blackheads, no acne, no pimples, and no discoloration, that’s Perfect Black Skin. Is that your skin?  For so many of you, the answer is no.

Certainly isn’t mine.

Does Perfect Black Skin Really Exist?

The thing is, perfect black skin doesn’t really exist. It’s a standard that has been set by society and the media that is almost impossible to achieve. You see images of celebrities and models with what you perceive to be perfect skin and you think that you should look like that too.

But the truth is, even those celebrities and models don’t have perfect skin. They have access to the best dermatologists, estheticians, and skincare products money can buy. And even with all of that, they still have imperfections.

What Should Your Black Skin Care Goal Be?

So if you can’t achieve perfect skin, what should your goal be?

I think you should aim for “healthy Black Skin”. That means embracing your natural skin tone, taking care of it with a good skin care routine, using natural black skin care products and not letting society’s unattainable beauty standards get you down.

So what if you’re struggling with your skin right now, remember it’s just a temporary phase for your skin.  Your quest is to keep working on improving your skin, rather than just chasing an unrealistic ideal. You’ll feel more confident and beautiful in no time!

I know how you feel. Even as an esthetician, I have my challenges. Everything from chin hairs to dark spots. Okay, the dark spots are because I was impatient and went after those chin hairs with tweezers. Yes, I know better, but from time too time, those hairs will curl up under my skin. Annoying and sometimes painful.

Harmful Practices, Habits and Products Are Problematic for Perfect Black Skin

Perfect Black Skin rarely exists in real life. It’s either too dry, too oily, or uneven in its tone. In many cases, your skin has been damaged by not taking care of it or exposure to harmful products, habits, and practices.

Too much sun will burn, cause redness, premature aging, drying, and skin cancer. So …limit your time in the sun, wear a sunscreen when you have to be outside.

Smoking will deprive your skin of oxygen, dry your skin and cause wrinkling. So …cut back on smoking until you can completely eliminate the habit for good.

A lot of you feel that your house isn’t clean unless you can smell the bleach. This typically means you’ve put your hands in some pretty dangerous solutions at some point in time. You ofter follow up by touching your face to sooth an itch or wipe away bleach water that has splattered on your skin.

Many cleansing agents can cause dryness, rashes, and itching.  So… wear gloves when handling chemicals, and avoid exposure whenever possible.

Summing things up …

Perfect Black Skin, maybe-maybe not, but you can be mindful of your activities and habits that cause damage to your skin. When properly taken care of, cleansed, exfoliated, toned, and moisturized, you’ll begin to see great improvement in the condition of your skin.

Keep in mind that perfect black is a standard that has been set by society and the media that is almost impossible to achieve.

While you may encounter challenges with your skin now and then, remember that it’s just a temporary phase as long as you work on improving it and avoiding harmful practices, habits, and products.

With “healthy Black Skin” as your goal, you can feel confident about your skin in no time!
