There is no rule stating that dark skin does not need sunscreen. Use sunscreen to prevent damage to the skin and slow the ageing process.

Moisturize Everyday

Dark skin looks ashy when it’s dry. Moisturise every day to maintain a youthful and radiant expression.

Take care of pimples

Dark skin is prone to pimples and it’s obvious when it occurs. Always remove makeup from the face before bedtime. Use a good facial mask suitable for your skin tone. Do not pick pimples on the face because it leaves marks.

Exfoliate

Exfoliation is a necessity that every skin needs, to remove dead skin cells and close the pores. It checks the breakout of pimples.
A simple homemade regime will do the trick. Try a mixture of olive oil and sugar as a homemade exfoliating lotion.

Face Mask

Apply a face mask once a week to moisturize and remove the blemish. Try a simple homemade face mask like a mixture of honey and egg. To use, apply the mixture to the face and let it set for 10 minutes before you wash off. The type of face mask used depends on the skin type.
