A Simple Daily Routine For Melanin-Rich Skin
Written by: The Curcia Team
When your skin is melanin-rich, the goal is usually the same: an even, bright tone and skin that feels soft, not tight. You don't need a ten-step routine to get there. You need a few steps you'll actually do every day.
Morning
- Cleanse. Wet your skin, work your bar into a lather and massage it on for about 60 seconds. That minute gives the ingredients time to do something before you rinse.
- Moisturise. Pat your skin dry and moisturise while it's still a little damp.
- SPF. Sunscreen every day, even when it's cloudy. Sun is one of the biggest reasons dark marks stay around, and deeper skin tones need it too.
Night
- Cleanse again. Wash off the day: sweat, SPF and make-up.
- Moisturise. Night is when your skin does most of its repair work, so give it moisture to work with.
A few habits that help
- Try not to pick or squeeze spots. On deeper skin tones, picking is a common cause of the dark marks left behind.
- Be gentle when you shave and use a fresh blade.
- Give any new product a few weeks of daily use before you judge it.
- Patch test anything new for 24 hours first.
Keep it simple and keep it consistent. That is most of the work.
