Hello Beauties!
My first word of advice when I am asked about makeup is making sure proper skincare is a part of your regimen. Proper skincare is so much more important than makeup and taking care of your skin can reduce your need for makeup. When it comes to skincare, everyone's skin is different which results in different needs for each person. It wasn't until late high school that I learned my own skin needs. I learned that one of the reasons I experienced acne on my forehead and chin area is because I have combination to oily skin and extra oil is produced in those areas.
Although I was able to subdue most of the acne, it's not always that easy. Some Americans enter adulthood with rosacea, sometimes referenced as adult acne. Rosacea is a common, inflammatory skin condition that effects an estimated 16 million Americans. Although you may not hear the term often in the African American community, it is common with women of color.
In fact, the common result of rosacea with women of color is hyperpigmentation, which is a common skin concern most women are trying to conceal through makeup. The best way to prevent hyperpigmentation and break up with makeup is to treat the rosacea.
Check out these skincare tips below for treating your skin:

God bless & stay fabellis,
Yes! Skincare is so important. I hammered it into my girls to always practice good skin care. Great post!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I have had issues with break-out since having my baby. I think mine is hormonal, but it's been terrible. I will have to check my sunscreen.:)
ReplyDeleteI have bad breakout every now and then. What I do is make sure my skin has all makeup removed every night and moisturize it. Also, I drink a lot of water. Great post girl!
ReplyDeleteI have some random dark spots and red spots that I can't get rid of, they just permanently sit there making makeup application a pain! I'm also really sensitive to products so I have a short list of go to products that I don't cheat on!
ReplyDeleteYep, I think of my face as a canvas. Makeup is just the art. If you don't have a great canvas, you all ready start off wrong.
