If you have dark skin, you can be thankful because:
1. You will wrinkle less as a result of the inherent sun protection you receive from skin pigment (unless, of course, you are reckless in the sun)
2. Darker skins tend to be thicker, another reason why you will wrinkle less and age better, in general.
THE CONS
1. Darker skins are more sensitive to potentially irritating ingredients such as prescription-strength tretinoins (Retin A, Renova) and high percentage AHA/BHA acids. If you overirritate dark skin, it will hyperpigment (turn darker) in places of irritation. Thankfully, in most cases, the darkening is temporary.
2. Dark skin is less tolerant of professional resurfacing procedures. For instance, a doctor has to be much more careful in performing an acid peel or aggressive microdermabrasion on dark skin because the patient may develop temporary (or possibly permanent) hyperpigmentation.
HYPERPIGMENTATION CHANGE
For darker skins, hyperpigmentary changes is the most important factor that distinguishes a young face from an older one. Dark skin becomes darker in certain parts over the years. Around the mouth area - an area of a lot of movement - the skin becomes invariably darker. The forehead becomes darker, sometimes not evenly, but in blotches. The eye area stays relatively light. The cheek become darker in blotches, especially if the person suffered from acne.
SUN PROTECTION
One of the most important things you can do if you have dark skin is avoid the sun, use significant sunblock every day of the year, and avoid acne outbreaks as much as possible, because the dark aftermath of acne outbreaks is very long-lasting in dark skin. Seek a doctor’s help for acne as soon as possible.
Recently, I have managed to obtain a 5ml sampling size of Kiehl’s Eye Alert when I was doing some window shopping. What tempted me to try this product is the claim - ‘Energy Booster to Combat Puffiness and Dark Circles’ on the packaging.
Although I have only slight dark eye circles and puffiness, I’m still curious to see if this eye gel can actually reduce or eliminate them.
Product claims
Our ultimate solution for eye-area fatigue after a long flight or a long night, our formula is made with cooling Cucumber and Alfalfa Extracts to energize and hydrate the thinner skin of the eye area. Its potent blend of Vitamin E and Caffeine fights fatigue as it helps combat dark circles and puffiness. With regular use, skin appears strengthened and the look of fine dehydration lines is reduced.

At night, whilst we sleep, the cells divide twice as quickly and it is then that the skin performs most of its recovery. Regular use of a night cream maximizes the benefits.
During the night. Your skin is subject to a lot of wear during the day, so it is essential you take good care of it at night to help the process of cell regeneration. This is when the cells at the deeper layers come through and transform into surface cells, rich in keratin.
Night creams. Opt for a night cream that is more nourishing and hydrating than your day cream. The day cream works as adefence against the environment and the night cream acts as a regenerator. Go for the formulas rich in essential fatty acids that nourish the hydro-lypidic film. Creams containing vitamins A, C and E combat free radicals.

I’ve come across some websites that sell hyaluronic acid supplements that are taken orally. Will they improve my skin like injectable hyaluronic acid can?
Not likely. When taken internally, hyaluronic acid purportedly penetrates down to the deep inner layers of the skin where topical applications can’t reach. One problem with taking hyaluronic acid orally is that the molecules are too large for the body to properly absorb unless they’ve been re-engineered to make them smaller and more available to the body. In addition, taking a supplement internally doesn’t assure that it will get to the ‘right’ spots; the only way to do that is to inject or apply them directly to the areas in question.
Recently, I have attended a private Bloggers Party with 15 bloggers and forumers at Choupinette held by One9ninety.
This networking session is to gain valuable insight with influence people, exchange thoughts, share preferences and most importantly to gain a better understanding of individual needs.
If you ask ‘How free radicals cause aging?’ or ‘What damage can free radicals do to your body and cells? If you have not heard about free radicals by now, you certainly will very soon.
Free radicals have a major impact on facial aging and this topic is so important and the discovery of new relevant therapies is occurring so rapidly.
What is Free Radicals
Free radicals are oxygen molecules that have lost an electron in interactions with other molecules. As a result, these molecules are extremely unstable, or reactive. In their quest to ‘heal’ themselves, free radicals steal electrons from other, healthy molecules, creating more free radicals in the process, damaging cell components.
Where do Free Radicals come from?
Although free radicals are entirely natural - they’ve a by-product of normal bodily processes, like breathing air or digesting food - they’re also extremely treacherous. Because every time free radicals seek to stabilize themselves, they damage healthy cells. Worse, free radicals aren’t just manufactured by our own bodies. They’re also unleashed by external factors, including sunlight, cigarette smoke and air pollution. And stress and poor diet play a part too.
Not surprised you will get confused after watching this video. I do at first but eventually I believe in her and I haven’t been wearing any eye cream for a long time. I’ve been using face moisturizer on my eye areas instead. ..
