How many times have you asked someone for skincare advice and cringed the moment they said to drink more water, slather on the coconut oil, or take off your makeup before bed" When you’re nursing issues that go beyond the occasional breakout or blemish, there’s nothing more frustrating than receiving such basic advice. Yes, we know that doing any of those three things can contribute to healthier skin, but let’s be real: that simply isn’t enough for most. The skincare routines of black women, in particular, face a unique set of obstacles.
We’re talking pigmentation and discoloration (just to name a few), which means that when we’re done talking about our favorite hair products, we’re trading skincare secrets, too. And while we admittedly eat up anything a celeb tells us about their regimen, we definitely prefer hearing from women who don’t have 24/7 access to a full-blown glam squad. So, if you’re hoping for a skin transformation of your own this spring, see how three twentysomethings finally beat their biggest skin struggles ahead. Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you?ll love as much as we do.
