Tips to get naturally clear and glowing skin for black women
Steaming
Steaming is an effective process for opening your pores. It helps your cleanser get inside and clear all the dirt, pollution, and excessive sebum from deep. Facial steamers are not expensive, but somehow you can’t get yourself one, then you can try another way.
Soak a towel or washcloth in hot water and squeeze out excess water. Put this hot, damp washcloth on your face for several minutes or until it dries out. Do this process every morning before you cleanse your face. It will open your skin pores so that your cleanser can work better.
Cleansing
Cleansing is the first and vital step in the skincare routine. It cleanses all the accumulated oil, dirt, and pollution, which causes your skin to look dull. The market is full of various cleansers tailored for all skin types. Make sure you buy the right one with other glowing skin products.
When choosing a cleanser, find natural and organic ones that contain glycerine or castile soap. These ingredients clean your skin without stripping your skin’s protective acid mantles. Apart from these, look for soothing and cleansing ingredients like coconut, chamomile, oats, aloe, and essential oils.
Tonning
Toner is the second step in the skincare routine and is generally used after cleansing, before moisturizing. It removes any remaining residue of makeup, dirt, oil, or pollution from your skin after a wash, giving you clear and glowing skin. Furthermore, it tightens the pores opened with steaming before washing your face.
You can make your natural tone at home with lemon juice and water. Take one part lemon juice and five parts filtered water and store it in a bottle or container. Apply this natural toner daily with a cotton ball to get naturally clear and glowing skin.
Messaging
Messaging your face with nourishing oils can offer you many benefits, especially if you have melanin-rich skin, which tends to be dryer. A variety of messaging oils is available in the market, including coconut, sweet almond, olive, and jojoba oil.
Choose one of these oils and apply it before hitting the bed. Apply the oil using your fingertips, be gentle on sensitive tissues around your eyes. Allow your skin to soak overnight, and you will get clear and glowing skin in the morning.
Face mask
Face masks are a surefire way of getting an instant glow. Make a habit of using natural and organic face packs once or twice a week. But do not forget to exfoliate your skin beforehand to allow natural ingredients to work deep enough in your skin.
You can make your DIY face pack at home. Just take a ripe banana and egg white. Mash the banana and mix with egg white and bring it to applicable consistency. Apply this mask on your face and neck, and leave it for 15 minutes. Wash this banana and egg mask off with a mild cleanser and warm water. You will instantly notice a radiating glow on your face and neck.
