Black Skin Care Information
Each year, millions of dollars $ are spent on black skin care product. Everyone uses them on a daily basis & probably never think twice or two times about what’s in them. We take for granted that items such as deodorant, eye shadow, body lotions & any other black skin care product are good for us. But are they really? Do you know what’s in that bottle of shampoo? Could there be something in your skin cream that is hazardous to your health?
Commercial deodorants, hair spray, nail polish, perfumes, hand & body lotions all contain in them what are called phthalates. There is more. This chemical has been known to cause birth defects & has shown up in higher than normal levels in pregnant women. Some might say to basically using treatments with phthalates, but the problem is that not all treatments list them on their labels.
One could also think that by walking into a health food store & simply getting “all natural” cosmetics could easily fix the problem. The bottom line is this is a lot more hard than you could imagine. Much of this is due to companies wanting to cash in on the movement towards “all natural” products. Just because a product says there’re one or two natural products in it, like lavender or aloe, doesn’t a safe product make. Get in the habit of reading labels, take a close look at what’s going into the product you’re purchasing & do not take the advertisement’s word for it that all the ingredients are safe.
If an item says “All Natural” on the label, does not mean it is. There is more. This term has become a catchphrase in society & many times “all natural” hinges on any number of loopholes available to be easily able to name a black skin care product as such. There’re a few companies out there who do strive to keep their black skin care products as natural as possible & you can find them, it might take a little bit of time & effort to do so.
A happy, healthy consumer is a well informed consumer. Don’t take the advertising hype & labels as the gospel truth. Dig deeper, read the labels carefully, scrutinize the ingredients. Be aware that some ingredients in the black skin care product you’re purchasing can cause allergic reactions. So… Some of the ingredients attributed to allergic reactions are jojoba oil, tea tree oil, & lavender. Do a test patch on your skin first before you start using the product, you do not want to end up with a nasty rash, or in the worst case scenario, in a hospital.

NEW ORLEANS, LA – There is a new weapon of choice for women of color
fighting the battle of dark spots.
Blackskin.com introduces a uniquely new dermatologist-approved maximum strength dark spot fade gel found exclusively thru its website. “There are lots of crèmes and potions on the market with black faces on the box, but that doesn’t mean that those products are tailor-made for black skin nor do they bring together the powerful skin lightening agents that our product does,” says Barbara Hunter, M.S., beauty guru and creator of blackskin.com. “Our product isn’t just for people of color who want to lighten their skin. It’s for those who want to erase very dark spots, scars, birthmarks and restore their skin’s natural even tone,” says Hunter. “We scoured the country researching the right formulation and we’re proud to now bring it to our loyal customer base.”
Blackskin.com’s formula combines the powerful skin lightening properties of Hydroquinone with glycolic acid, cellulose and natural Aloe Vera gel amongst other ingredients. “This is a huge breakthrough for those who have used both expensive and inexpensive department store brands only to not see results. Black skin is different
and it has special needs and requires a special solution. Blackskin.com’s dark spot fade gel can be found exclusively at www.blackskin.com and is recommended for dark spots, scars, dark elbows, knees and old scars. Results can typically be seen in less than 30 days.
