Proper skin care starts with the basics

Most women have their own unique skin care routine, complete with their favorite skin care products for black skin, or whichever cosmetics work best for them. While these products offer an added level of protection against dry or oily skin and every day pollutants, it's important to remember the basics of taking care of your outer layers. 


The Cleveland Clinic states that taking care of skin is important because there are a variety of conditions that can arise if it is ignored, such as dermatitis or skin cancer. The organization suggests using sunscreen, applying moisturizer right after a shower and avoiding over-exposure to tanning beds.


Vanguard News also reported on this topic and said cleansing is the key to proper basic skin care.


"Simple is key here. You need to find a good cleanser that your skin responds well to, and stick with it," according to the news source.


Finally, the Cleveland Clinic also recommended that people with dry skin should consider limiting showers to five or 10 minutes, to avoid exposing skin to hot water for too long.
