Black Women Skin Care: How to Keep Your Dark Skin Beautiful And Healthy
By Briana Booker
Are you a Black woman? If yes, do you know how to keep your skin beautiful and healthy? If you are having a hard time keeping your beautiful dark skin healthy and fabulous, I have some great skin care tips for you. Read below to get started.
You are What You Consume
As a Black woman, the goal is to keep your skin smooth and keep your complexion even. To accomplish this beauty, you need to start inside and radiate your beauty outward. When I say begin your beauty from the inside, this means you need to have a healthy diet. Eat fruits and vegetables. It is okay to indulge on fatty, fried, sugar filled treats a few times a week but do not make it your main diet. Instead of eating fried food, eat bake,saute an broil foods. Use olive oil in your meals.
As for beverages, drink plenty of water. Do your best to drink close to 8 cups of water a day. When you are craving alcohol or caffeinated beverages, make sure that cup of water is near by as well. Drink both until you can drink water for pleasure and not simply because you feel forced to drink it for your health. It is hard to get use to it…but you can do it.
Work It Out
Make sure you get plenty of exercise. When you regularly workout, your skin stays toned and you feel amazing. Go biking. Go on a long walk. Go on a jog. Go swimming. Play your favorite sport. Do yoga. Do what makes you happy and it will not seem like a chore.
Moisturize Your Body
When you have beautiful dark skin, you need to keep it moisturized. You should never appear ashy because your skin does not have enough moisture. Use creams and lotions after you shower or bathe. When your skin is damp, it is able to hold moisture better.
For your face, use moisturizer specifically used for facials. If you have naturally dry skin, use a product that focuses on resolving that issue. If you have oily skin, use a facial product that removes oil. If you have both dry and oily skin, find a product that serves both needs at the same time.
Use your facial cleanser when you wake up and right before you go to bed. Never use soapy cleansers on dry skin. It will dry your skin even more. Oily skin will prefer soapy cleansers. Using your hands to wash your face is fine,but if you use a rag or sponge to clean your face, make sure you wash your rag or sponge regularly to prevent germs and bacteria from growing and harming your skin.
Do not Pick at Acne
If you have pimples, do not pick at them. You will scar your dark, beautiful skin. Do not wash your skin too hard. Use a cleanser made to eliminate and heal your skin of acne. Eat healthy and be active to prevent severe breakouts.
When you love your skin, your skin will love you.

The Year of The Weight Lifter
strongBy Briana Bookerv/strong I came to the realization that I am no longer 17 years old. My body is not as fast as it use to be. My body is not as slim as it use to be. But here I stand as the best woman I have ever been thus far. I guess it is true, looks are not everything. Although I am aging, I still want to keep up my health and appearance. I will never be someone that settles for letting myself go. I love myself. With that said, I would like to push myself to be better than my previous self by dedicating a few hours weekly to weight lifting. I am working on my core, which I notice is not as fit as it use to be. The love of my life ( or I would like to think he is the love of my life) thinks my new found curves are beautiful but I want the 17 year old me to travel with the wonderful woman I am becoming now. Who knows, I might just surpass the 17 year old me. I am up for the challenge. Stay tuned.
