"With Age Comes Wisdom" is a saying most of us have heard before, but when it comes to African American women taking care of their skin, it often looks as if that wise old saying is - well - wrong!Let's keep the old saying and make it right for your future. I've prepared you as much as I can by providing you with the information you need to look sensational a long way into the future, all you need to do is DO IT! By starting right now, you can easily prove that not only does age come with wisdom, it also comes with a woman who has youthful looking skin and inside that great looking skin is all that wisdom!Take a close look at the more mature generation and you will see the results of long sun exposure even though sunblock has been around since most of them were young.The problem was that dark skinned people never thought they needed sunblock because they didn't "burn". But of course they did burn, it was just all happening below the surface of the skin and now it shows up as lines, wrinkles and sunspots. You are fortunate that you know about sunscreen/sunblocks, so no excuses for not wearing sunblock for the rest of your outdoor life.The next bit of wisdom our forebears missed out on was the secret of regular exfoliation. In the future we won't be able to tell mothers from their adult daughters if this one little routine is followed up at least twice a week (more often if there is any sun damage or acne scarring)Then there is the issue of dryness. Nothing produces lines and wrinkles quicker than dry skin, and skin dries out over time because there is less and less natural oil being produced. So the obvious answer is - as your skin produces less and less natural oil, you should use a moisturizer more frequently' yes, twice every day - starting now - no excuses!Our generation and the ones following us are so lucky, we have products mad just for our skin. Professional skin care products, that have the specific ingredients for African American skin, aging or not. Ingredients like the rejuvenating properties brought by avocado oil in our African American skin care products. Avocado oil restores balance to the dry and oily areas of your face, creating a smooth and even feel.Not all of Our Elders had this knowledge, and they ended up with all the wrinkles, fine lines and ashy looking skin, so let's not make the same mistakes.Isn't it amazing the wisdom that can come from knowledge? Now that you have all the knowledge you need to look young well into your later years, all you have to do is turn that knowledge into a habit and the future is yours to look amazingly youthful - not to mention passing on your skin care secrets to the next generation.Go forward, knowing you are making a difference to the younger generation by setting an example of creating an excellent skin care regimen for having beautiful black skin, before it's too late to do something about it.
