Welcome to the world of black skin beauty and how best to naturally maintain it! Black skin women like me often have unique needs when it comes to our skincare. While we may come from similar origins, our individual needs for healthy and beautiful skin must be met differently.

As someone with melanin skin, I know that having beautiful and radiant skin can be an important factor in feeling confident. That being said, taking good care of our unique complexions requires knowledge and discipline. Here are some of my tips on how you can do just that:

1) Nourish Skin from the Outside In - Make sure you’re applying gentle cleansers like raw honey or avocado oil to your face at least once a day. Then follow up with moisturizers designed specifically for people of color enriched with nourishing ingredients such as primrose oil, aloe vera, and jojoba extract. If desired, sunscreen (preferably zinc oxide based) should come last after cleansing but before makeup application because it acts as a barrier against harmful UVA/UVB rays which could cause premature aging.

2) Eat Right & Exercise – Eating anti-inflammatory foods high in omega-3 fatty acids keeps pigment production stable while boosting circulation underneath the surface of the skin where blood carries oxygen throughout body tissues helping them stay hydrated Long walks outdoors are recommended too since it encourages increased circulation plus exposure to some mild sunlight helps trigger Vitamin D production within cells contributing to overall collagen formation resulting naturally smooth brighter looking more youthful skin

3) Reduce Stress Levels – Try out mindful breathing exercises when stressed. Engaging with yoga or deep relaxation activities also have proven track records in reducing excessive cortisol levels produced during times of emotional tension and elevating dopamine which allows mood enhancement.

4 Exfoliate – Feeling refreshed starts with having smooth clean spots rather than stubborn patches. Dead cell removal through proper gentle exfoliation allows nutrients meant for feeding the fresh layers an opportunity to  properly feed the skin and  rejuvenate your pretty brown or black skin 

Now you know how to naturally maintain and improve your pretty black skin. These simple life-changing tips will make all the difference for any African woman  who desires to have a glowing stunningly clear vibrant melanin skin

Indigenes of Edo Express Deep Dissatisfaction with Retired General Charles Airhiavbere's Treatment

Image
By Gladwell Stone In a resounding declaration of unity, the indigenes of Edo State have stood firm against the actions of Retired General Charles Airhiavbere, expressing their profound disappointment and anger over his treatment of their people during his tenure as the Executive Director of Finance on the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). At the center of the storm is the stark reality that General Airhiavbere, while in a position of significant influence, allegedly chose to withhold support and assistance from the Edo people. His reported vow to deny aid to the very people he was appointed to serve has ignited a wave of resentment, painting a picture of political vindictiveness that has marred his tenure. It is suggested that this stance stems from the perceived lack of support from the Edo community during his bid for the position, though this claim is yet to be substantiated. Even more disheartening is the purported treatment of Edo individuals working within t
