Women of Color

 

The Skin Advantage

Women of color have a special skin advantage… they tend to look years younger when compared to their counterparts with white skin.  It is because of the extra melanin in their skin that protects it from the sun.

The melanin in the skin absorbs the ultraviolet light and prevents many of the changes that we associate with aging.

Unfortunately, that same melanin can create problems…specifically; the increased melanin can easily be affected by break outs and other scuffs and bruises that happen in life causing dark spots and hyper pigmentation.

That is usually quite difficult to eradicate. Uneven skin tone is a very common problem for women of color. 

Underlying Issues

There are many causes of discolorations on the skin. In particular, acne lesions cause dark marks. When the acne bump goes away a woman of color is often left with a dark blemish. In addition, any type of rash on the skin; eczema, for example can leave dark blotches on the skin.

Cuts, scrapes, burns, and abrasions may all heal, leaving a dark area on the skin. So as you can see, there are many causes of hyper pigmentation.

Unfortunately, despite the exact cause, it can require several months, if not years, for the dark mark to fade.

Holistic Healing Strategies

Fortunately, there are treatments that can hasten the fading of the discoloration. The first and most important treatment is the use of sunscreens or sun blocks.  This probably sounds confusing considering the previous information regarding melanin; however, it is important to understand that the reason for this is because exposure to ultra violet light and sunlight can make dark spots worse. 

These UV protectors should be applied on a daily basis, and I recommend a total sun block.  If you use skin lighteners or brighteners on a daily basis, a sun block is recommended rather than a sunscreen.  Sun blocks reflect all UV rays, rather than scatter and absorb them like a sunscreen does.

Our Total Eclipse Matte Moisture w/Natural Sun Protectors was designed for this purpose. In addition, we’ve added extra antioxidants that help nourish and protect the skin from environmental assault, without chemicals or oils that congest the skin. 

Enlight-10 Botanical Brightening Serum is a chemical-free skin brightener that is safe and effective for daily use.

Powerful plant based ingredients include licorice root, gallic acid, kojic acid, glutathione and reservatrol, (which are powerful antioxidants)  that brighten discolorations and repair the skin.
