One of the first things that people notice about others is their skin. This is not really surprising considering that the skin is the largest single organ in the body. By sheer size alone, it trumps all the other physical features of a person. Your skin is considered as a blank canvas that has the ability to make a great first impression, if it looks good. While some are blessed with naturally beautiful skin, a majority of the population have to work  at having an even skin tone.

But for African American Skin, it is prone to a lot of flaws because it is thin and delicate. A lot of the problems that are experienced relate to dryness, dullness, enlarged pores, and discoloration. The good news is that there are many ways available to you that will help improve the overall tone of your skin.

The most important technique when it comes to the quest on how to have an even skin tone is to alleviate dryness. Drinking at least two liters of water daily helps the hydration happens from within. Not everyone can take in two liters of water so drink what you can handle and increase your water intake weekly.  This can reduce the appearance of dullness and redness caused by a lack of moisture in the skin.

In addition to this, the water affects the pores by plumping the skin out to make the pores less visible. The water can also flush out toxins that build up in your body. This lessens breakouts that lead to discolorations on your face.

Using a great moisturizer with SPF can also help you keep your beautiful black skin tone even.  SPF helps block out the UVA Rays that attribute to dryness and dark spots in our skin.  Skin that’s not protected, yes, that means your black skin also, will burn.  Burned skin is skin that now has the challenge of being uneven in it’s tonal appearance.

A good sunscreen/sunblock at about an SPF 30 will help in protecting your skin from the sun’s rays.  I know, you thought your melanin would protect you and to a certain degree it will.  But in light of all the toxins and chemicals released in the air that you have no control over and ounce of prevention is worth the effort.

Exfoliating is the secret of many people who have glowing and youthful complexions. Even clean skin, that’s been freshly washed has a certain amount of dead skin cells that build up. When this occurs, the result is a dull and ashy looking appearance. Those dead skin cells also lead to the formation of blackheads, acne, and other skin irritations. Sloth off the layers of dead skin cells using a mild exfoliator as a part of acquiring an even skin tone.

Exfoliation can be done using microdermabrasion, exfoliating cloths, brushes and scrubs.

Another method is to going the natural route by using fruit and sugar acids as well as alpha or beta hydroxy serums. These are specially formulated to penetrate deeper into the skin levels and clean them from within. Often referred to as chemical exfoliation, some of these products are formulated using aloe vera and vegetable glycerin as their base.

While these methods are still considered to be safe methods, it is still important to exercise caution when using them. Some skin types are more sensitive than others so it is best to use them with caution. Over exfoliating your skin can lead to further dryness or peeling.
