Tips for National Healthy Skin Month


RX for Brown Skin for African American skin care products

Illinois news source The Journal-Standard reports that November is National Healthy Skin Month in the United States. What better time than now to make sure that you have the best African American skin care products to boost your complexion's health?


According to the news source, an estimated 33 million people in this country have some kind of common skin problem such as dryness, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. All of these are problems that can be worsened by the winter cold, so it's important to protect yourself against the chill this season.


The news provider spoke to dermatologist Peter Helton, who said that along with the cold winds, it's important to keep skin away from harsh chemicals if you don't want it to dry out.


"Protecting against irritation from chemicals is one of the most important factors to address when dealing with skin problems. Your skin wasn’t designed to deal with dish soap, bleach, hair coloring and thousands of other everyday chemicals," said Helton, quoted by the news source.


EaseEczema.org also advocates against using harsh soaps or chemicals on sensitive skin. The website recommends using mild, non-soap cleansers and to pat the skin dry, never rub it.
