There’s no better time to switch up your skincare routine than when the seasons change. While many of us are ready to welcome the dip in temperatures and recharge, Black women may need a different approach to keeping skin looking healthy with a dash of glow.
The truth is, while black women tend to age well, we also tend to age differently. Throw in a battle of eczema and dryness that won’t bend during the colder months, and it can be challenging to find an easy solution. If you don’t know where to start, here’s how black women can build a solid skincare routine for fall without the fuss. 🍂✨
UPGRADE YOUR MOISTURIZER
If you’re experiencing dryness as the temperature drops, fighting back can be as easy as switching up your moisturizer. While harsher winds strip skin of natural oils, replenishing it with a rich, hydrating moisturizer can make all the difference.
Locking in moisture can help prevent common irritations like eczema and dryness from popping up. This season, focus on hydration with Buttah’s Gentle Cleanser, which won’t leave skin feeling stripped, and the vitamin-rich CocoaShea Revitalizing Cream, formulated with vitamin E and hyaluronic acid to soothe and protect against environmental factors.
EXFOLIATE (GENTLY)
Contrary to what we’ve been taught about skincare, exfoliating our skin can be gentle and effective regardless of skin type or condition. If you’re a black woman ready to implement a fall skincare routine that works, try our Vitamin C Serum.
Packed with skin-loving ingredients like ferulic acid, which targets hyperpigmentation, vitamin C can help remove dead skin cells, making the skin appear smoother and more even. Ultimately, your skin will remain clear long after the season’s over.
PROTECT WITH SUNSCREEN
It may be fall, but the sun’s UVA and UVB rays can still damage your skin. Believe it or not, UV rays can seep through clouds and cause damage even when it appears less sunny.
Protecting skin year-round can prevent irritations, common signs of aging, and even dark spots. If you’re more prone to combo or oily skin, Buttah’s Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer can be your skin’s saving grace. Paired with SPF, it will feel and look balanced.
In the end, the best skincare routine for Black women during the cozy fall months is the one that works and keeps you glowing year-round. So, to feel (and look!) radiant this fall, consider reaching for skincare essentials made with melanin-rich skin in mind. These essentials hydrate, protect, and nourish so you feel and look like your best self. 😘🧡
