Care routine for black skin: 7 tips to follow

Sleep well

No more short nights! After enjoying the summer holidays, it's time to get back into a good sleep rhythm. Sleeping little has consequences on the skin : dark or hollow circles , dull complexion , skin aging , etc. Before going to sleep, don't hesitate to step away from your phone. To be well rested, a minimum of 7 hours of sleep is required.

Clean your pillowcase

While we sleep, our skin secretes sebum, sweat and dead cells, which can accumulate on our pillowcase. A lack of hygiene causes blackheads or microcysts , hence the importance of washing them at least once a week.

Know your skin type

Before starting a skincare routine, it is essential to know your skin type in order to use the appropriate cosmetic products. To help you know yours, here are some of the main skin types and their particularities:

Normal skin: normal skin has a balance between hydration and sebum production. It is supple, without major imperfections and has a smooth texture;
Dry skin: Dry skin lacks moisture and can feel rough or coarse. It often has fine pores, a feeling of tightness after cleansing and may be prone to flaking or redness;
Oily skin: Oily skin produces excessive amounts of sebum, making it shiny and prone to blemishes, like pimples and blackheads. Pores may be enlarged and skin may be thicker;
Combination skin: Combination skin has both oily areas, generally in the T zone (forehead, nose, chin), and dry areas on the cheeks.
Sensitive skin: Sensitive skin is reactive and prone to redness, itching or irritation in response to certain products or environments. It can be dry, oily or normal.

Remove makeup from your skin

Removing makeup every night is an important step in skin care. During the day, your skin is exposed to dirt, dust, air pollution and other unwanted particles. The makeup you wear can also trap these impurities on the surface of your skin. Makeup removal helps remove dead skin cells and stimulate natural cell renewal. It helps maintain younger, brighter and more radiant skin.
