0 commentsWith March being Ethnic Skin Care month, I will be examining and
providing solutions to the many problems us women of color face. The
first one I'd like to examine is Hyper-pigmentation.
Hyper pigmentation by definition
is an excessive deposition of bodily pigment. In other words, the skin
appears with too much pigmentation in it which is usually the result of
an injury to the skin, including picking pimples! Of course,
hyperpigmentation can also be the result of various diseases.
Eczema is another common problem in women of color,
especially black women. Our skin is inherently dry by nature. Couple
that with dietary factors and eczema is the result.
