African American skin care can be a complicated process that can sometimes require time and patience. According to the website Black-Women-Beauty-Central.com, this might not be a bad thing. The beauty site reports that if a woman is spending less that 15 minutes a day on her routine, then she is not giving her skin the right amount of attention. The website offered tips on how to keep black skin looking healthy by paying attention to other lifestyle factors that make change skin's appearance.
First, the site recommended quitting bad habits such as smoking or eating junk food. Smoking can increase the number of wrinkles on a person's skin, and junk food can potentially create an acne problem.
The magazine Real Simple also mentioned the importance of healthy habits on skin and spoke to an expert in the field to explain the connection between diet and skin's appearance.
“Diet can play a role in strengthening your skin’s ability to maintain moisture, too,” says Leslie Baumann, a professor of dermatology at the University of Miami, quoted by the news source.
Real Simple gave the example of substances rich in the essential fatty acids found in walnuts, flaxseed, salmon and olive oil as being the best foods to help skin cells stay hydrated
Black-Women-Beauty-Central also mentioned that getting enough sleep (8 to 10 hours a night) can reduce the appearance of dark circles and lines, suggesting that a restful night can help lead to a beautiful morning.
