Why Summer Skin Issues Hit Different for Black Women
Let’s be honest: summer can be rude to melanin-rich skin. The heat triggers more oil production. Sweat and sunscreen can clog pores. And don’t get us started on hyperpigmentation—the smallest blemish can leave a dark mark for weeks.
Because our skin naturally contains more melanin, it’s more reactive to inflammation and sun exposure. That means even the most minor breakouts or UV damage can turn into long-lasting discoloration. So while everyone’s talking about “summer glow,” we’re just trying to stay balanced, even-toned, and breakout-free.
The 3 Key Products You Must Switch Up in Summer
1. Cleanser What worked in the winter might not cut it now. You need a gentle yet effective cleanser that removes sweat, makeup, and sunscreen without stripping your barrier.
Our Gentle Cleanser is designed with sensitive melanin-rich skin in mind—it calms, cleanses, and hydrates in one step.
2. Sunscreen If you're still skipping SPF or using one that leaves a white cast… it’s time to upgrade.
Our Invisible Mineral Sunscreen is sheer, lightweight, and blends seamlessly into deep tones—no ashiness, no oil slick, just glow.
3. Brightening Pads Summer is peak time for hyperpigmentation.
Our Brightening Pads help fade dark spots caused by UV exposure, acne, or inflammation—without irritating your skin. Use them 2–3 times a week for a glow that’s even, not patchy.
