Selv om det har været en super lang og stressende rejse, har jeg endelig fundet produkter, der virker for mig. Hvad bedre måde er der for os til at fejre vores smukke sorte hud end ved at tage sig af det? Den bedste del er, at alle disse produkter grusomhed gratis og vil holde din #MelaninOnFleek for under $10!
1. Når din kamp med Acne er understrege dig ud
Buy here: walgreens.com
Pris: $4.99
Because I have sensitive skin, I break out pretty often. I've always been very skeptical of name brand soaps because of the harsh chemicals and fragrances found in them. However, I picked up SheaMoisture's African Black Soap on a whim and was not disappointed. I've been using it for the past week and it's left my skin feeling super smooth. While most people use it to get rid of face acne, I mainly use it as a body wash.
2. When You Want Your Skin to Look and Feel Rejuvenated
Buy here: walgreens.com
Price: $9.99
Get ready for some black girl magic at its finest. It's already been scientifically proven that black women age at a slower rate than other ethnicities. Use an anti-aging cream such as Iman Cosmetic's Time Control Skin Refresher Lotion to keep your skin hydrated. This also doubles as a makeup remover!
3. When You Want to Catch Some Rays
Buy here: drugstore.com
Price: $3.99
Here me out on this one! One of the things that I love about being a black woman is that we naturally have a high melanin count, which means that our darker skin shields us from UV rays. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't take the necessary steps to protect your gorgeous skin. Even though Babyganics' Mineral Based Sunscreen is a baby product, it's the only sunscreen I've found that works just as well on adults and is very gentle on sensitive skin.
4. When You Want Your Skin to Feel Silky Smooth - the Organic Way
Buy here: walgreens.com
Price: $4.99
This year, I've really been getting into using organic and natural soaps. Naturally, I fell in love with SheaMoisture's Olive & Green Tea Shea Butter Soap! This huge bar of soap definitely fits the bill, plus is moisturizing and lasts for a long time. The green tea leaves are an added bonus.
5. When You're Trying to Hide Your Partying from the Night before #panda
Buy here: walgreens.com
Price: $6.99
Take care of those 'shopping bags' under your eyes. For a quick fix, try the metal spoon or tea bags trick (where you rest either on your eyes for a few minutes until the puffiness goes down). For something more substantial, Preparation H's Hemorrhoidal Cream is actually a great alternative. It quickly soothes and shrinks the swollen tissue under your eyes. What more can you ask for?
6. When You Need to Even out Your Skin Tone (and Make Sure Your Melanin is on FLEEK)
Buy here: blackradiancebeauty.com
Price: $5.99
We've all experienced this firsthand: No matter how many combinations of products you try, evening out your skin tone is hard AF. That's why this is a personal favorite of mine. Black Radiance's BB cream is oil free and works as a concealer, primer and moisturizer.
7. When You Need Help Taming Those Annoying Ingrown Hairs
Buy here: amazon.com
Price: $5.97
Because of it's small size, this is more of a splurge but is totally worth it. If you've ever suffered from ingrown hairs, you know just how painful the removal process is. This makes everything SO much easier and is perfect for sensitive skin!
These are definitely #skincaregoals. Ladies, what are some products that you swear by?
