I know, sis, you might be tired of hearing this, but it really does help you get that glowing skin. Water helps to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized. When you drink water, it helps to flush toxins out of your body, which can help to reduce inflammation and improve skin health. Aim to drink 2L to 3L daily, and you'll see that glow.

Keep your Skin C l e a n

Throughout the day, our faces go through so much that we wash our face twice a day with a gentle cleanser or regular soap to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Also, avoid touching your face as much as possible, as this can transfer dirt and oil from your hands to your skin. And girl, please don't forget to change that pillowcase each week!

To get that glowing skin, you need to remove dead skin cells and use a gentle exfoliating scrub once or twice a week to unclog pores showing off that glow. What's super cool about exfoliating is that you can use products found in your kitchen! So instead of buying high-end body scrubs, consider getting handsy and making your own scrub. All you really need is sugar, lemon, honey, and essential oil if you want that supper sweet scent like vanilla or lavender.

Do not forget this step, sis! Hydration is essential for maintaining healthy-looking skin regardless of age or skin type. That's why moisturizing should be a key step in your daily beauty routine. After washing your face with warm water in the morning, apply a moisturizer to keep your skin youthful and radiant. If you're dealing with acne or oily skin, opt for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to avoid clogging your pores.

Protect you rself from the sun

I know you've heard things like, "Do black skinned people even need sunscreen?" Yes, they do! You still have to protect that beautiful skin from UV rays. Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily to protect your skin. We know sunscreen may be a little bit on the costly end, but we got the plug. Check your local pharmacy for UV Block 50. They have different sizes and range from K50-K150.
