Brown skin is unique, and requires its own kind of care. This is why a variety of African American skin care products exist especially for darker skin tones. Discovery Health published an article detailing things that ethnic women should consider when taking care of their skin to ensure that they are doing all they can to keep themselves healthy.
First, the health news provider recommended washing your face daily with gentle cleansers that don't try out the skin. Second, Discovery suggested making sure that the skin care products you use are made for your particular skin type. For example, if you have oily skin don't use heavy amounts of moisturiser.
Finally, the health site stated that your medication could be affecting your skin.
"Many drugs increase sun sensitivity, making it especially important to apply sunscreen or avoid the sun altogether. Among these medications are birth control pills, antibiotics, acne medicines and cancer drugs," according to Discovery.
The Skin Cancer Foundation adds to this point about African Americans and sun exposure by stating on their website that everyone is capable of getting skin cancer, regardless of their race, and ethnic women should get regular check-ups from their dermatologist.
