SKIN PROTECTION FOR AFRICAN WOMEN - PART I

Looking good, mostly, comprises taking good care of your skin. For a majority of African women, smooth and well-maintained skin is obtainable by considering and adopting a few important tips. 

Activities like cleaning, moisturizing, and toning the skin at regular intervals are very important to make your skin look fresh and glowing all the time. If good care of the skin is not taken, it can make your skin look dull and dried out. Improper skin care may even lead to skin complications and infections.

Skin Protection for African Women
One of the most important tips is that you should apply sunscreen to your skin in order to protect it from harmful rays whenever you go out in the sun. Even though African women have a natural Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 13, considering a bit additional protection surely reduces the amount of harm that is caused by the harmful ultraviolet radiations. Setting a protective barrier between your skin and the radiation keeps the skin smooth and in good condition. African women can generally be under the sun for a bit longer as compared to people with other skin types because darker skin tones do not burn as easily as lighter skin tones tend to.

Another crucial tip in skin care for black women is that you need to examine your skin for certain irregularities. Usually, African women have a lower possibility of getting skin cancer as compared to women having lighter skin color. 

Nevertheless, there is still a slight possibility of them getting skin cancer. You need to adopt a steady routine of getting your skin tested at least once in a month. Check for dark spots that previously were not apparent on your skin. If you have some marks at present, pay heed to any differences in shape, size, and tone. It is recommended to consult with a dermatologist who would let you know better about your skin condition.


Scheduled Skin Regimen
For keeping your skin in proper condition, it is necessary to make a daily skin care routine to pamper, and preclude damage to your skin. Do away with the everyday buildup which comes from oil and other cosmetic products. Apply a quality skin care product to your fingertips and softly massage it onto your face in a circular manner. This can also be applied to other body parts such as hands and legs. Uneven skin complexion is a very general problem for a majority of Africans. 

Use a specialized product for hyper-pigmentation which would finally brighten the dark spots, giving your skin an even tone. Get rid of the dullness from the skin by choosing a soft exfoliating product which will take away the dead cells that are responsible for making the skin flat and lifeless.

Hapa nitaelezea kidogo kuhusu Hyper-pigmentation:
Hyper-pigmentation occurs with increasing age particularly on the sun exposed areas of the body. It is commonly found in; 10-15% of darker skin types and 5% of lighter skin types. Common causes for hyper-pigmentation are sun exposure, raised oestrogens, skin trauma, and irritation of the skin. Hyper-pigmentation is often found on the brow, the cheek bones, the back of hands and where sun exposure or skin irritation is more common.
  

Hormonal changes resulting in hyper-pigmentation are usually the result of pregnancy, birth control pills, however other medical problems could be the cause. 
Na hapa pia nitaeleza kwa kifupi kuhusu hizi Exfoliating Products ambazo zitasaidia ku-treat Hyper-PigmentationProducts to treat hyper-pigmentation.
You need to be very careful when using a product to treat hyper-pigmentation, obviously medical conditions need to be treated and other causative factors need to be avoided. Products bought illegally may be dangerous, especially if they contain chemicals such as mercurous chloride or hyroquinone. 


Perhaps the most important anti-hyperpigmentation cream however is sunblock and obviously, its regular use.


NOTE: Kama mtakua aware hasa kwenye hizi products huwa zinapigwa sana marufuku matumizi ya creams au lotions ambazo zina Mercury au Hydroquinone. Hizi creams huwa zinasaidia ku-treat hizi hyper-pigmentation au dark spots lakini huwa tunashauriwa tuwaone madktari wa ngozi kwanza ndio wataoshauri ni kwa kiasi gani na aina gani ya cream unaweza kutumia...
 
Moisturize Your Skin!!
For making your skin glow all the time, you need to add as much extra moisture to it as possible. In case of a darker tone, the skin may seem dry and ash-gray without proper skin care. The best time when you can apply a moisturizer on your body is immediately after taking a shower or bath. However, you should ensure that you use a separate moisturizer for your face. A majority of moisturizing products are too harsh to be applied on the face. If your facial skin is highly sensitive, the product might not get absorbed into the skin. Most of the moisturizing products have particular nutrients to treat problem areas without adding extra oils, perfumes, or other unessential elements. Use good quality moisturizers to get rid of dry skin. 

Make sure unapokua unanunua products zako angalia kama ni mosturized, inaweza kuwa ni face cream au body lotion. It's important to read labels all the time. Na pia zingatia kama muda mwingi unautumia kufanya shughuli zako kwenye jua kali, hakikisha unatumia SPF lotions or creams.!!

These were some of the fundamental skin care tips for black women. If you are experiencing irritation or any side effects after applying a skin care products for women, it is recommended to stop using that product and consult with a dermatologist.



STAY TUNED FOR PART II!!
