Your Face, Your Skin, LOVE It...!!

Ni MUHIMU sana kabla ya kuanza kushughulika na uso wako unatakiwa ujue una uso wa aina gani:

Whether you have dry, oily, combination or sensitive skin, there is a perfect face wash for you.

Do you have oily skin?

Dermatologist recommends gels and alcohol-based cleansers for oily skin. You can also look for cleansing liquids or bars that are specifically targeted to help.

Do you have combination skin?

If your skin is dry in certain areas, like on the cheeks, but continues to be oily in other areas, such as your forehead, nose, and/or chin, you have combination skin. Dermatologist advises those with this skin type to use cleansers with hyaluronic acid that will cling to dry areas.

Do you have dry skin?

Dermatologist recommends looking for creams and lotions to incorporate into your daily routine. He also cautions against using any alcohol-based cleansers or toners. They dry out the skin by stripping away its natural oils.

Do you have sensitive skin?

For those with sensitive skin, using too much product is a critical mistake. Instead of using your cleanser everyday, try cutting back to two or three times a week. Non-scrub cleansers are a good choice and it’s also good to avoid products with synthetic fragrances, which may irritate the skin.

Do you have normal skin?

For lucky people with no particular issues, experts recommend to simply use a soap-free cleanser twice a day. If possible, choose a cleanser with antioxidants such as Vitamin C that will help keep your skin healthy and problem-free.

Do you have acne-prone skin?

If your skin is prone to breakouts, it’s important to look for a cleanser that contains ingredients like salicylic acid to help clear your pores.

Instructions

Wash the face regularly. Like other ethnic groups, Africans deal with acne. However, acne scarring is more common with African skin, and these dark spots can linger for weeks or months. To prevent acne scarring, you've got to stop acne. Be sure to wash the face daily with a gentle soap or facial cleanser. Use a facial moisturizer after each wash, and drink plenty of water.

Treat ingrown hair. Ingrown hairs are common amongst African men and women. Because Africans generally have curly hair, the hair may curve back into the skin and cause a painful hair follicle bump. In some instances, ingrown hairs become infected and result in permanent scarring. To prevent an ingrown hair, shave with an electric shaver, wash the face or skin prior to shaving and shave in the direction of hair growth. If you notice a follicle bump, apply alcohol to prevent infection.

Deal with hyper-pigmentation. Hyper-pigmentation is a common African issue, in which certain areas of the body are darker. Darken areas can develop after an injury or skin disorder, or may just occur naturally. There are ways to fade dark spots and even your complexion. Cocoa butter and topical fade creams such as Retin-A can effectively fade dark spots.

Apply sunscreen. Having darker skin provides protection from harmful sun rays. Still, Africans aren't immune to skin cancer. It's important for African women and men to apply sunscreen before spending time in direct sunlight. Choose a sunscreen or facial moisturizer with at least SPF 15.

Choose make-up that complements your skin tone. Choose foundations and shades that complement your skin's undertone. Cosmetic companies that specialize in African make-up offer a wide selection of colors for darker skin tones.

It's your face, your skin, LOVE It..!!
