Skincare tips for dark women from a white woman, ok lol.... Coco butter is not God.

We know our skin can look ashy at some times ???? I believe everyone's skin can look ashy if it isnt hydrated.

Hydroquinone is actually only bad if you use it WITHOUT sunblock at all. Not using sunscreen after using products with hydroquinone in it will heighten the chances of getting skin cancer due to that ingredient! And yes, the honey and egg mask works for all skin colors! :)

This author is very ignorant. I'll suggest if you don't know how to properly write a blog for colored women not to, because this is very offensive!

Pause. Hydroquinone is not your friend.

@Neecey Beresford now women of color are embracing their beauty more than ever, let US handle it from here. Being doesn't always mean be hurtful, those who have the savior complex are equally wrong. What everyone in her comments are saying is STOP period,

😒 if skin is skin why is this article directed towards dark skinned women?

No.16 it's bad you, how are you going to say that "hydroquinone is your friend"... It is harmful for your skin.

Where did these stereotypical pics come from... The is a poorly written article!
