On BrownSkin.net, Dr. Susan Taylor reports that African American, Latina and Asian women should keep in mind four basic components for healthy, glowing brown skin: knowledge, self-examination, protection and nurturing.
Taylor says that women with ethnic skin should know about the conditions that tend to affect them. For instance, Futcher's lines are the marks that appear to divide lighter skin on the underside of the arm from the darker skin that is typically exposed. Women with darker complexions should also be aware of things like mid-line hypopigmentation, palmar crease hyperpigmentation and pigmented nail streaks, among others.
Self-examination may help an individual avoid skin cancer. Make a point to inspect your skin from head to toe once a month, and note any irregular looking moles or lesions.
Protecting brown skin from the sun may do more than prevent dark spots or uneven tone, since wearing SPF is also known to help prevent cancers like melanoma as well as wrinkles.
Finally, ethnic women should remember to nurture themselves with skin care for black women, which can address the unique issues facing people with complexions ranging from honey to dark chocolate.
