Dermatologically speaking, the black skin is not so different.
However, the pigmentation is different and also the sensitivity to attacks, some care are more suitable than others.
It is the same for afro hair. Curly and frizzy for most, they are often more fragile and require targeted care.
I propose in this article a few good tracks really natural for appropriate care ... and my recipe for detangling conditioner Special frizzy hair lodged in mychronic beauty on France 5 on video ...
A ritual to pamper the skin afro
If it is more resistant than others to the sun, the black skin is not a beefy provided.
Often mixed or oily type on the face and back, it has an unfortunate tendency to irritate and dehydrate to the slightest stimuli (friction of clothing, wind and rain, cold ...).
All this explains why many black women often struggle against the "crocodile skin" on the legs and hands, while other individuals are prone to age spots and facial imperfections.
Finally, men face more often razor burn and ingrown hairs because their epidermis keratinized faster, sometimes preventing the normal hair growth.
The black skin care routine is therefore lives in a minimum of two key steps: cleaning accompanied by a regular gentle exfoliation, and continuous hydration.
Exfoliate skin black
For exfoliation of the black skin, it is interesting to combine natural acids (citric, lactic, glycolic) that will ensure an enzymatic exfoliation, exfoliation with fine grain and sweet like sugar or coconut soda .
A simple recipe is to mix in a small bowl the juice of half a lemon to a tea spoon of oil to choose from and two tablespoons of baking soda (careful, it hard foam due to chemical reaction) or coconut blossom sugar (the brand Amanprana offers as "Gula Java end").
This mixture is applied with a soft sponge on the skin previously moistened, and at length without mass support, practicing simple circular motions. Rinsed with clean water.
This scrub can be practiced on the face as well as on the body. We will offer the once a week to the face, and up to twice a week for very dry body. Doing so makes the skin can receive fats which then feed.
It avoids against the scrub if skin is acne or inflamed, and then opts for a simple cotton lemon juice passage on the skin, leave on for at least 2 minutes before rinse with clear water. Lemon also has an equalizing effect dipped (stain) significant with its well tolerated by the skin acids.
How to moisturize black skin
To rehydrate the skin, the mass once cleaned (think cold surgras soap for the body) with a few drops of penetrating and relipidante oil, heated in hands. The jojoba oil, kukui, hazelnut, macadamia or marvel should advocate for black skin of all types.There are others, see my book "The smart Plant Oils".
If the oil does not penetrate well on the legs, it is possible that they should be better exfoliated before. Indeed, it is important for the oil, although it is fine, can bind with triglycerides present somewhat deeper in the epidermis. Vegetable oil provides good fatty acids epidermal cement and to better retain water in the tissues. It will penetrate better and better then. See how the oil moisturizes the skin (click).
If the skin is very dry all the time, it ends with a moisturizer as natural as possible. No need to use a specific brand for black skin, provided that the texture and composition suitable for the skin type.
Note though that the Karethic brand offers a Hydra-Matifying Cream organic certified very original for combination or oily skin, made from rice powder and butter their famous grand cru nourishing and protective Shea. There is also a BB cream special bio black skin: BLACKBAO cream BB zero defect Phytema- organic bamboo silk base and coconut hydrate, correct the imperfect complexion and controls shine in one step.
Afro Hair: return to nature
In recent years, the trend is "Nappy", of "natural and happy." This term refers to letting the afro hair natural by providing care and adopting appropriate hairstyles.
Many black women want in effect reconnect with their identity and make peace with their hair by giving lofts and extensions. I find it great. And so much more beautiful.
This benefits to the hair, but it has a price. The curly hair is very fine and very dry in nature. Therefore targeted care are mandatory and some rules must be respected.

The hydration of frizzy hair is paramount. His curly structure indeed prevents cuticles uniformly cover the hair. This makes the hair brittle and porous, prone to dehydration.
Afro hair is hydrated using vegetable oil rather than mineral (which adds nothing to the hair even if the jacket perfectly). The coconut oil to the coast, but oil sapote, avocado or jojoba and shea butter also work very well.
One method to test, and a bonus recipe!
After a mild shampoo without sulfates, and a conditioner conditioner, rinsed and drained before massaging hair from root to tip with heated oil in hands.
The detangling conditioner that you see in the video above (with aloe vera, avocado and ylang) is really suitable for frizzy hair.
It can rinse, but it can also be applied in small quantities on wrung hair styling and simply dried.
The fatty substances penetrate very frizzy hair, which can in any case be dried cold (heat weakens the frizzy hair) and then capped differently using fingers or pliers nodes. Original tutorials found to perform the famous "Bantu knots" or "Finger coils" that are all the rage in the USA by typing these words on Youtube.
Shopping essential African hair or frizzy and dry:
- A shampoo without sulfates or silicones that repairs (Note that the brand BLACK O Naturel offers a wonderful cream 3 shampoo one who washes, untangles and treats, otherwise I advise Urtekram Aloe Vera or Logona shampoos and to some extent the recent range with sweet almond BIO with their beauty by NUXE conditioner very soft).
- Of coconut oil, jojoba oil, and an oil pleasure for hair (sapote, Mongogo, your choice)
- From the essential oil ylang-ylang "totum" (I use PRANARÔM): You can add 2 drops at a dose of shampoo to make it more stimulating to the scalp to promote hair regrowth slow curly and also to strengthen them.
