What are the changes undergone by the black skins after the summer?
Nubian skins are suitable for sunny and humid areas. Even if you were born in a country with a cold climate, your skin suffers from the lack of sun and humidity. These deficiencies present themselves in different ways.
Dull complexion
In the summer, your face looks good . As soon as the sun goes out, you notice a change in your skin. Your complexion becomes dull, grayish and lacks evenness.
The dehydration
It is common to confuse dry skin with dehydrated skin. However, these two terms should not be confused.
Dry skin produces less sebum and lacks lipids. While dehydrated skin lacks water. In both cases, it results in tightness, lack of flexibility and tingling.
Black skins are naturally rich in lipids. However, they suffer from dehydration when they find themselves in areas where the climate is cold. In Africa and the West Indies, hygrometry (air humidity) reaches 98%. In Europe, it is 80%.
pimples and blackheads
In autumn, the stratum corneum of your skin becomes thicker. It becomes difficult for her to achieve a natural exfoliation. As a result, toxins accumulate on the face and cause blemishes such as acne pimples and blackheads.
