Works with Water offers top tips for looking after black skin

Are you suffering from dry skin that tends to scar easily? While black skin benefits from delayed ageing and showing signs of sun damage much later in life, compared to lighter skin, many people complain about having dry skin that has a tendency to scar.

With such a vast array of skincare products and advice to choose from, successfully creating a skincare regime that tackles these issues can be tough.

Works with Water, a skincare specialist which produces a range of nutraceuticals to help improve problem skin, has compiled its top tips on looking after black skin.

Jules Birch, founder of Works with Water, comments: “Black skin ages much more slowly than lighter skin types, because it contains more melanin, which is the skin’s natural defence against the sun. However, black skin can be dry and rough, and often leaves scars following a breakout of spots. Using natural supplements treats your skin from the inside and tackles problem skin at the source, so users can avoid having any adverse reactions to inappropriate products.”

The best way to combat dry skin is with a good moisturiser. Thick and greasy moisturisers come highly recommended, as these help to lock more moisture into the skin, and always apply to moist skin as this will aid absorption.

If you are suffering from rough or bumpy skin, exfoliating two to three times a week will remove the build-up of dead skin and dirt, leaving skin smooth and glowing.

Spots are often caused by hormonal imbalances, which can be triggered by stress, a lack of sleep or a bad diet. It can be difficult to control some these triggers, which is why Works with Water has developed a range of products that contain ingredients that actively reduce the bacteria responsible for spots and acne. help: clear skin and help: clear skin MEN are rich in lactoferrin, which reduces the development of the bacteria responsible for many skin impurities.

These products, along with help: beautify skin, can also reduce scarring thanks to anti-inflammatory and skin regenerating ingredients that improve the appearance of scars, even out skin tone and help you to maintain a healthy complexion.

Jules adds: “We have found that prevention is far more effective than cure when it comes to spots and acne. By introducing ingredients into your diet that reduce the appearance of acne, you won’t have to worry about treating spots or about acne scarring.”
