Facial For Dark Skin: Cleanse, Prepare, Moisturise

Black skin, is rich in capillary blood which promotes irritations and allergies.  It produces more sebum and will tend to be more oily and shiny but does not prevent dehydration. It also has a high concentration of melanin which favors the appearance of blackheads. To fight against all these inconveniences, you must take special care of your skin with products that meet its specific type.

Here are the three basic steps to take care of your face every day:

Cleanse

Moisturise

We must distinguish between dry and dehydrated skin. Dry skin does not produce enough sebum while a dehydrated skin lacks water. Even oily skin can be dehydrated.
Hydration allows to bring water, but also to delay skin aging and protect against external aggressions such as pollution and sun.

What kind of moisturiser to choose?

You must choose a moisturiser according to your skin type and seasons, no alcohol or perfume, preferably non-comedogenic and with sun protection.

  • For dry skin, use a protective moisturising oily  cream.
  • For oily skin: in winter, use a moisturising cream and in summer  mattifying fluid.
  • For combination skin: in winter, use a moisturizer for dry skin on the cheeks and chin and a cream for normal skin on the T-zone.  In the summer, if your T-zone is oily, use a mattifying fluid.

How to apply moisturiser?

Apply moisturizer with your fingertips in the direction of the scheme.
