Black is Beauty .. Skin Types


African American women seem to sometimes find it hard to find skin cleaning products that actually work, yet for a number amount of years, there's been this one amazing line, designed specifically for African American women, and its called AMBI. I've been using Ambi for about a year now, and its works fantastic with my skin. I have naturally oily skin, so I use the cocoa-butter face wash & the moisturizer designed specifically for oily skin. What skin type are you?
Normal Skin: Oil is evenly distributed and there is no extra shine. After cleansing the face, skin does not look dry or oily. Acne break-outs are less frequent.
Oily Skin: Skin that appears shiny or greasy up to two or three hours after cleansing the skin. Excess oil contributes to blackheads, blemishes, and enlarged pores.
Dry Skin: After cleansing the face, skin feels dry and tight, and possibly even itchy. There also is the appearance of skin cells and flakiness, which may appear to look ashy.
Combination: A mixture of oily and dry skin types, with more blemishes and skin irritation frequenting the T-zone area. Oiliness can be more prevalent on the forehead and nose while cheeks are flaky and dry.
Tips to healthy skin:
Tip1: Dry 8 glasses of water per day
Tip2: Establish healthy habits such as an eating plan that offers a variety of nutrients for your body, do not smoke, and watch your alcohol intake.
Tip3: Address stress through deep breathing techniques, a walk around the park, yoga, exercise, or getting a massage.
Tip4: Get a good night's rest.
