Black Skin & African American Skin Care Products-What To Use For Beautiful Skin

African American and Black Skin Products must have the right ingredients to really work.  Some ingredients should be avoided for black skin or any other type of skin.

 In this article I will show you which ones work and which ones to avoid.  Some ingredients, for example, will cause hyper pigmentation while others will cause de-pigmentation.  Here is what you should avoid and what you should use.

Avoid These  3 Ingredients in Skin Care Products

1. Sodium methyl paraben (any type paraben)
2. Petroleum-based products
3. Chemical bleaching agents

*Sodium methyl paraben - One ingredient that is commonly found in skin care lines is sodium methyl paraben.  It, as well as, all parabens have been found in breast cancer patients. It is best to not use any product containing parabens.  Sodium methyl paraben can result in de-pigmentation that may be permanent.

Products with petroleum content also can cause hyper pigmentation.  Dark spots may appear that do not match other skin tone.  Also propylene glycol and wood-based alcohols have been known to cause darker spots to appear on the skin.  The reason often stated why these ingredients are in black skin care products is that they relieve oiliness.  However, the products most people are using cause the oiliness.  Petrolatum, mineral oil  and other products that are petroleum-based CAUSE the oiliness.

Chemical bleaching agents are often promoted to those who want to lighten their skin tone.  There are safe skin lightening products.  I'll cover that also in a moment.  Chemical bleaching ingredients can bring much harm to your skin. Avoid them especially if you have black skin or darker tones of skin.

Compounds That Work Safely
-Extra pone nut grass
-CoQ10
- Jojoba
-Natural vitamin E
-Functional keratin
-Wakame kelp

Extra-pone nut grass is a Very Good ingredient that will even out the skin tone.  It usually doesn't take much to give a noticeable difference.

Natural vitamin E is an antioxidant.  Since it is an antioxidant it will usually help get rid of hyperpigmentation of  skin. In other words, skin spots.

Sebum - The Natural Moisturizer

Sebum is our natural skin oil that also is our natural skin moisturizer.  However, some of us have either too dry skin or too oily or some range in between.  So skin problems can vary from one person to the next. But skin problems in general have nothing to do with black skin or any other tone.  Skin is skin.  Only the skin tone maybe different, but all skin is composed the same. What the problem usually is, is the product being used on the skin.  Especially if it is petroleum based.  Petrolatum feels good but it can do a lot of subtle harm.  If you use a good moisturizer, like the one I use, you will have 90% of your skin problems solved.

Sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands. All skin, black, white etc have these glands. Sebum is the skin's natural moisturizer.  Jojoba and passion fruit extract work well with the sebaceous glands.  These two ingredients will help moisturize skin that is very dry.  What is nice about them they will moisturize the skin without causing any skin flareups.

Anti Aging Ingredients

Most anti aging products don't even come close to working.  Companies take advantage of the popularity of anti aging and promote skin care products that do more harm than anything else.

You don't need any special african american anti aging product.  Let me tell what you do need.

In my vast searching for some skin care products that really work I found one that I am ecstatic about.  The reason is that it is safe and it works on all skin types and skin tones.  It is called "Functional Keratin".  When mixed with Wakame Seaweed (Japanese) CoQ10 and Vitamin E it produces new skin cells and fibers.  This results in a younger looking skin because of the skin firmness that is taking place. See my website for more information on this truly amazing skin care ingredient.

Functional Keratin is the most successful and effective of all the antiaging products I researched.  Functional keratin combined with Wakame kelp extract and antioxidants CoQ10 and natural vitamin E promotes the increase of new skin fibers and skin cells.  Wakame helps prevent sagging by increasing skin firmness.

What causes harm to skin cells and other body cells is what is called free radicals.  They basically go on a rampage and hurt other cells.  The antidote is antioxidants found in compounds like vitamin E.  Remember this please, avoid any ingredient ending in paraben, (for black skin especially Sodium methyl paraben).  Avoid all skin care and other products that list petrolatum as an ingredient.  Don't even think about using a chemical bleaching agent.  Use the ones I recommend.  See my website for my personally tested skin cream. - Thanks, Margaret Bell
