Must-know beauty tips for dark skinned women

March 18,2019
Share:

Nowadays, finding beauty tips for girls with dark skin is a lot harder, even though dark-skinned beauties are now a prominent feature everywhere.

So, if you are one of the privileged ones that are blessed with a dark complexion, here are some must-know beauty tips just for you.

Moisturise everyday

Dark skin looks ashy when it’s dry. Keeping up with a daily moisturising regime is vital for a lady with dark toned skin. Use a good quality moisturiser each day, after every shower or bath. That way, you’ll keep your beautiful dark skin looking healthy and radiant.

 

Your foundation must match your skin tone

Ladies with dark skin need to be careful about the shade of the foundation they use. Your foundation should complement your natural look, not mask it or change it. Choose a foundation that is the same shade as your natural skin because the foundation that is lighter can make your skin look pale. You will probably find that liquid foundation is the best choice because it won’t create an unnatural looking matte effect.

 

Exfoliate

Exfoliation is a necessity that every skin needs, to remove dead skin cells and close the pores.

You need to exfoliate at least, once a week. You can buy exfoliating scrubs, or just use something simple, like olive oil with a bit of sugar in it.

However, be careful not to over-exfoliate, so you don’t make your skin sore and cause irritation.

 

Control the oil in the skin

You can control the excess oil on your skin by applying a small amount of milk of magnesia before you moisturise with a light, non-oily, moisturiser. That way, you will keep your skin hydrated, but you won’t suffer so much with greasy looking skin later on in the day.

 

Use sunscreen every single day

The UV radiation that comes from the sun can dry out your skin and cause premature signs of ageing. Don’t assume that your dark skin will protect you; use sunscreen every single day, even if it is cloudy outside.

 

Avoid brightly coloured lipsticks

When it comes to lipstick; avoid bright, light, colours, like oranges and pinks because they create far too much of a contrast against your dark skin. Choose darker colours like berry, burgundy, plum, and golds. Stay away from frosty finishes too, and don’t use too much lip gloss.

 

Avoid using heavy powder

Dark skin is beautiful, so don’t cover it up with too much powder. Avoid applying too heavy powder on your face because it will look cakey, and it will make the makeup look too obvious. Less is best with most makeup, but even more so when you have dark skin.

 

Take care of pimples

Dark skin is prone to pimples and its obvious when it occurs. If you do get pimples, don’t pick at them or pop them because it will make them red, it could cause scars, and it will spread the bacteria around your skin which will cause even more pimples. Try using a toner on your skin and that will reduce the oils and help to prevent acne.

 

Face Mask

Using a face mask once a week is something that anyone can benefit from. It keeps the skin moisturised and it helps to clear up blemishes. Some of the best types of face masks are the ones that you can make at home, like a simple mixture of honey and egg. If your skin is on the oily side, then use the white of the egg. If you have dry skin, then use the yolk. Mix the egg with a tablespoon of honey and you have a wonderful homemade face mask.
