Tips On Choosing Black Skin Care Products

When it comes to black skin care products there is a lot of mystery and a lot of misinformation about what products really work well for African American skin. But first let's talk about African American skin care in general. African-Americans have special needs for their skin primarily because of their skin tone and it's proneness to dryness,discoloration and hyperpigmentation. Over all black skin doesn't age as rapidly as white skin because it's pigment resist the damage from sun rays. Although "black don't crack" it does droop so products that work for elasticity. Other ethnic specific skin problems include razor bumps and ashy skin. Some traditions in black culture are to use natural products including shea butter and coca butter. These products in their raw form have natural healin...

When People Thought Hair Was A Window Into The Soul

In 2004, the North Korean government launched one of the oddest television campaigns in recent history: “Let’s trim our hair in accordance with the socialist lifestyle.” Accompanied by radio and print ads, the five-part TV series urged North Korean men to wear their hair short. State-approved haircuts, the campaign explained, ranged in length from one to five centimeters, with seven centimeters permitted for men over 50 who sought to hide a balding scalp. Why, exactly, did the government care so much about how North Korean men chose to wear their hair? Long hair, the campaign argued, “consumes a great deal of nutrition” and thus threatened “human intelligence development” by depriving the brain of necessary energy. Pseudoscientific ideas aside, state media also suggested that hair repre...

Makeup Tips And Tricks For Women Over 40 – According To Women Over 40

Don’t continue applying the same makeup techniques learned in middle and high school. Many women dread their over-40 birthdays due to aging effects evident in the bathroom mirror, but beauty experts placate with a plethora of makeup tricks. Birdie.com appealed to “boomers and beyond” women in June not to continue applying the same makeup techniques learned in middle and high school. The site shared gravity-defying, wrinkle-diminishing tips from a makeup artist who works specifically with women over 40: ‒ Apply, in an upward sweep, blush on the upper part of cheekbones. ‒ Fill in sparse areas of eyebrows, especially “tail” areas. ‒ Use lighter shades on eyelids and under the brow; use a medium or darker tone in the crease. ‒ Avoid matte and nude lipsticks; choose color and shine and...

Are You Thinking About Cosmetic Surgery? At Last, Some Clarity On Who Can Call Themselves A Cosmetic Surgeon

Thinking about cosmetic surgery? At last, some clarity on who can call themselves a surgeon. When is a surgeon not a surgeon? It’s a riddle that’s long puzzled regulators and consumers. But it may soon be solved. State and territory health ministers have decided to restrict the title “surgeon” to specialist doctors. The move represents a significant change in Australian medical regulation. So, if you’re thinking of having cosmetic surgery in 2023 (or beyond), these reforms might help you choose the right health professional. What’s The Problem? For as long as cosmetic enhancements have been offered in Australia, there have been no rules about which medical practitioners can call themselves cosmetic surgeons. Consequently, any registered medical practitioner may call themselves a c...

Are Dreadlocks Black Culture Or A Unique Hairstyle For the Entire World?

Can anyone grow dreadlocks or just Black people? Black people's kinky hair leads many to believe they are the only race that grows dreadlocks. Therefore, it's a part of Black culture. But everywhere in the world, you can find people with all types of dreadlocks. Dreadlocks are the natural result of three to six months uncombed hair. Strains of hair intertwine together and create "ropes" or "locs". All types of hair eventually clunk or matte together if left free of combs and hair relaxers for a long time. The texture of the hair determines how long it takes. Thick coarse hair develops or grows dreadlocks fast, easy, and may not need chemicals or twisting. Thin straight hair will take longer. Also, it requires chemicals and twisting. Most Blacks' hair is coarse while other races have stra...

Many Men Prefer A Clean Shave – Here’s How To Get One

How to get a clean shave – tips from a skin expert The development of facial hair is a sexual characteristic that marks adulthood in men. In the past, facial hair was often frowned upon culturally in Nigeria, with some institutions even mandating a clean shave. Well-groomed facial hair has gradually become more acceptable globally, however. Despite this shift, anecdotally, many men would prefer to have a clean shave. But they worry about razor burn, nicks, skin irritation and developing bumpy skin. Pseudo-folliculitis barbae is a common disorder on the face and neck of individuals of African and Asian descent as a result of shaving. It happens when hairs grow back into the skin and cause inflammation and irritation. The result is papules (solid bumps), pustules (fluid-containing bumps...
