| Dark Skin Products
Today, there are an increasing number of Dark Skin Products specially formulated for dark skins. Dark skins either have reddish or a yellowish tone. It is important to find the right base to even out the skin tone. Just as it is a must to use a concealer foundation and face powder for fair skin, so it is for dark skins. Use your concealer before the foundation and choose your foundation in the shades of light, medium and dark to match the skin tone. Keep the application of powder light, dark skins can turn grayish with too much of powder. Cells called melanocytes determine skin color. All races have the same number of these cells. In the melanocytes are structures called melanosomes which produce the pigment melanin. Black skin melanocytes have larger and more melanosomes that are different than white skin. Because of their dark skin color, African-Americans are better protected against skin cancer and premature wrinkling from sun exposure.

The current Dark Skin Products range is designed to be 'genderless' and 'ethnicity independent' and is very popular with many skin types, both male and female. Products such as the eye gel, moisturizers, hand cuticle and the hold-all are just as effective and appropriate regardless of your skin color. The skin is a living organ and caring for it is a highly individual matter. Bearing this in mind, the purity and quality of our carefully sourced ingredients make Dark Skin Products very appropriate for sensitive skins. Many of our customers, in particular those who have suffered problems such as eczemas, dermatitis and psoriasis, have confirmed these benefits. Black skin is affected as much by sunlight, pollution and stress as women with lighter skin tones. In many respects, women with black skin are faced with even greater challenges.
Black women, for instance, need to be very conscious of hyper pigmentation since their skin scars so easily. To prevent scarring, they need to always guard against acne and to continually protect their skin from the sun. In fact, any situation where the skin can be irritated, be it squeezing blemishes, shaving or plucking hair, can result in black skin producing more melanin and creating dark spots. During pregnancy too, many dark-skinned women experience the "mask of pregnancy," or a darkening of skin around the neck due to hormonal changes. Generally black women also tend to have oily facial skin, which can be compounded by more than just the skin's natural oils. The oily ingredients used in Dark Skin Products, often contribute to the general oiliness of the skin. This condition is acerbated by high fat diets. Ironically, although black women are prone to excessive facial oils, they also have dry, ashy body skin.
