Black or mixed skin has many advantages. It is thicker and contains a large amount of pigment such as melanin. This allows it to age more slowly, because this pigment protects it from helioderma. But how to prevent their appearance?
In general, wrinkles appear only after 50 or 60 years on black, matte or mixed-race skin. Nevertheless, over the years, the concern of aging of the skin is more at the level of the eye area which often undergoes pigmentation. There are also the impacts of the sun that must absolutely be avoided. It is therefore essential to take care of it to avoid the development of any spots that can appear at any time.
Although it is not essential to apply specific creams for this type of skin, it will still be necessary to be careful not to carry out inappropriate care such as the use of lightening products based on chemical elements or the use of powerful scrubs. You should definitely know that even if black or mixed skin has a certain tone and elasticity, it can sometimes be sensitive and fragile.
TIP :
During the day, the skin is subject to various aggressions such as dust, makeup, pollution and natural secretions. The latter actually prevent the skin from breathing, because they clog the pores. A gentle cleansing of it will therefore be essential to let it breathe and to remove impurities such as dead skin. To do this, clean it with a cleansing milk, then rinse it with a mild gel or micellar water. Then, before going to bed, apply an ultra moisturizing night care such as My Elixir "Regenerating Repairing" REPAIR'OYA®.
Dark skin becomes more dehydrated, especially in cold, dry areas. So she needs to be hydrated. It is necessary to use a well-adapted cream. That is, it is not necessary to apply creams containing fat to avoid the appearance of acne. For dry dark skin, it is useful to opt for a moisturizing day cream such as the MEL'OYA® Moisturizing Unifying Care or an emollient balm. For oily skin, favor mattifying products or a seboregulatory cream such as the Mel'OYA® Mattifying Unifying Care.
Spots are the first disadvantage of dark skin. They often follow scars due to acne pimples or other causes. The problem is that it is difficult to eliminate them, and it is important to use a specific care for pigmented skin. After a consultation with a dermatologist specializing in black skin if necessary, you can treat these spots with mel'OYA ® anti-spot serum. In addition, also prioritize sun protection, because UV reactions on the skin often appear in the form of a pimple that will cause scars and pigment spots. Regarding these protections, choose creams with transparent sun filters such as SUN'OYA® Solar Fluid.
TIP :
By using creams that are too aggressive and powerful, the skin could be irritated causing the appearance of acne which, in turn, will reduce the manufacture of melanin by melanocytes. The appearance of brown spots will therefore be at the rendezvous. Apart from the treatments mentioned above, if you want to regain a luminous and united complexion, you can apply a cream containing fruit acids such as glycolic acid or salycilic acid. The latter will refine the pores and make a radiant complexion.
