Everyday Maintenance For Healthy Black Skin
We’ve all used culturally – coined terms, “Melanin Poppin,” and/or “Black Don’t Crack,” to playfully describe the uniqueness of darker skin complexions. Whether we’re hi-fiving our aunties for their skin’s agelessness, or enjoying the ability of our skin natural protection from UV rays found in sunlight, there is no question that black skin should be celebrated for its superpowers. But, black skin is oftentimes much more sensitive.
According to Like Me Natural Skincare Owner DeJan Toney, black skin is super sensitive and many harsh chemicals found in traditional skincare products have a few effects on darker complexions.
“A lot of top-shelf products use harsh chemicals and alcohol that tend to dry out the skin and strip it of its natural oils. Because of this, two things happen number one; our skin tries to overcompensate for the oil it’s lost, and number two; our skin reproduces tight and dry –feeling skin,” Toney said.
While the melanin cells in our skin are advantageous for many reasons, there are a few not – so – desirable aspects of our skin that Sheen is here to address to make sure we keep that amazing glow for as long as possible.
