Black Skin

Intelligent, informed and indispensable, this is the guide that every Black woman has been waiting for. Skin and beauty specialist Dija Ayodele takes the reader through the lifetime of skin, sharing transformative essentials from how to work out skin type to the ‘do’s and ‘don’t’s for your everyday routine. She explains the best ingredients for your skin and your budget, and the issues that Black women face: hyperpigmentation, general skin discolouration and increased dryness. Black Skin also examines the concept of identity, looking at the way history has shaped how Black women express themselves in beauty and skincare, and debunks common myths and misconceptions: do darker skin tones need SPF? And is there any truth to the saying ‘Black don’t crack?’
