Unique skincare needs deserve unique skincare solutions. Melanin-rich, darker skin tones may experience skin concerns such as very dry skin, dullness and sometimes uneven skin on certain areas of the body. Products formulated especially for the needs of melanin-rich skin tones have been developed specifically to address these needs and reveal the skin’s natural radiance and glow. Find out about essential ingredients to look out for to support your beautiful skin and carefully formulated skincare products that can be used to bring out the radiant beauty of your skin.
Let’s recap on the unique skin concerns that women with melanin- rich skin tones may experience:
- Dry, dull and ashy skin caused by lack of ceramides and depleted moisture levels
- Uneven skin tone caused by excess melanin production and by overexposure to the sun
- Stretchmarks caused by skin rapidly stretching and shrinking
KEY MELANIN-LOVING INGREDIENTS TO TREAT TOP CONCERNS:

Natural oils like avocado, macadamia, almond, olive and soybean oils have healing and moisture replenishing properties helping to restore and rejuvenate your skin’s healthy glow.
Vitamins:
Vitamins in skincare like vitamin A, C, E, B3, Pro-Vitamin B5 have a potent antioxidant action that brightens the complexion and restores the skins moisture barrier.

TIPS FOR GORGEOUS GLOWING SKIN:
The beauty of your skin is a marvel to be adored, cared for and celebrated. There are optimal ways to care for melanin-rich skin to keep it glowing and radiant:
- Wear sunscreen every day, even if you’re not spending time in the sun.
- Use lotions and creams that provide the ingredients and nutrients the skin needs to maintain its protective barrier and deliver moisture deeply into the skin. This will help avoid skin dehydration.
- Be gentle with your skin. Avoid picking at blemishes or scabs, as this can lead to uneven skin tone.
