Brazilian laser hair removal is really one of the best things I’ve ever spent money on. Nothing else gets rid of my ingrown hairs as good If you live in Westchester county in NY I recommend going to Najia’s Skin & Laser in mamaroneck. I used to work there and the results are great

things I wish I learned earlier as a gen-Z entrepreneur: 1. finding a good accountant is essential.

ask for referrals. run interviews. the more you consult with before making your final decision, the better understanding you will have of what’s normal vs. what’s not

Black girls. Pay attention to this tweet.

✨Start using self tanner this summer and thank me later✨

It’s what celebrities (ex: Kelly Rowland & Kerry Washington) use on the red carpet to get that glowy skin on the body

Hides little *imperfections* like scars and KP Miss @jackieaina talked about this YEARS ago if I recall

My favorite acne combo for myself!

I use the Alpharet pretty much everyday (it’s meant to be like that, don’t worry) but I’ll add the BPO if I’m breaking out and it clears up pretty fast I’ve tried Tretinoin & Differin and I like the clearing serum more than both.

You don’t have to worry about that irritation “adjustment” period because it’s formulated to give similar results to rx minus the irritation

i hate when people hate on lasering at medispas 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 meanwhile we’re all taught by the same people

Also, if anyone is doing LHR day in and day out — it’s estheticians!

Derms are busy trying to save people from skin cancer, we’re the ones that do the standard treatments all day.

Thinking about laser hair removal? Read this first.

Signed,
A licensed esthetician + certified laser tech working at a medical spa ALWAYS ask if the laser hair removal place you’re interested in has experience on black skin and have a laser with an ND YAG 1064 wavelength.

For the most part, this is only wavelength that treats black skin*

Telling teenagers going through puberty that their acne is because of eating junk food is so 😵‍💫 Your body is changing. Hormones are flying. It’s normal 😭

Please get blood work, allergy tests and speak to your GP before changing your diet for the sake of “clear skin”

Eating celery + drinking a gallon of water to clear acne is not that simple for everyone

Not everyone has the luxury of changing their lifestyle either. Remember that many people have health issues as well.

Just did a full routine for the first time using SKN by LH and I'm not mad at it! (Don't worry i filmed it) The Goji Berry Cleanser is a really nice gel cleanser. It doesn't foam up too much which I don't mind. It removed my concealer really easily and my skin didn't feel super dry after. Little to no fragrant smell either

I would give it a 10/10 for my first impression

Here’s what I recommended getting: One of the FEW Mineral sunscreen I stand by is the Suntique I’m Safe for Sensitive Skin. It’s titanium dioxide based. No zinc.

The cast is very minimal. It also has calming ingredients like centella asiatica and aloe leaf extracts.

I’ve been using the Fenty Skin products for about a month now. Read this thread before making a purchase First off, I would like to say a huge thank you to @fentyskin for letting me try the products! The Fenty team has always been so supportive of me when it comes to makeup, so I feel very honored that I get to try Fenty SKINCARE now 🤩 support black women in skincare all 2020

I tweet for the black girls scared to wear shorts in the summer because of their dark knees, who won’t wear a bathing suit because of a dark bikini line, refuse to raise their hand in class because of dark underarms...

These things are very normal and don’t need to be “fixed” I’m literally an entire esthetician who helps people with their skin for a living, please don’t tell me about hyperpigmentation 🤦🏽‍♀️ Some things can be corrected, and some just need to be accepted.

Treating hyperpigmentation (or “dark spots,” “acne marks”) ✨

There are other ingredients that are great for hyperpigmentation, but in this thread I’ll just be talking about these nine Niacinamide: Treats hyperpigmentation by acting as a protease inhibitor by stopping melanosomes (melanin) from being transferred to keratinocytes (skin cells) which results in visible hyperpigmentation.

EXCITING NEWS: You can now use my affiliate code TIARA20 for 20% off + free shipping for BLACK GIRL SUNSCREEN ✨

Yes. That’s the name. Black girl sunscreen.

Because all of your work for treating hyperpigmentation is pointless if you’re not wearing sunscreen. I’ll make this a thread & add reasons why this is one of my favorites.

I first discovered @BlkGrlSunscreen in MARCH 2018 & my tweet was featured in a @POPSUGAR article.

Before any kind of affiliation. (That’s how you know it’s real)

Why I HATE fragrance and essential oils in skincare: It commonly known amongst dermatologists and other communities that fragrance (natural or synthetic) is harmful. There’s A LOT of research backing this up.

But. It’s. In. EVERYTHING. 😭
