Common Skin Issues in Melanated Skin

Common Skin Issues in Melanated Skin

When you look good, you feel good – and that goes for more than just hair. That’s why we  launched Young King Skin Care!  Skin issues can be tricky, especially during adolescent years, but we are here to help provide solutions for our melanated young kings and queens. To understand how our skin differs we want to highlight a few common areas in melanin skin.

Skin Sensitivity 

People of color are most likely to respond more sensitively to components in products that can result in allergic reactions.  For this reason, it’s recommended for those with melanated skin to avoid perfumes, artificial dyes, and additional chemicals in products.  Using harsh chemicals overtime can further damage skin and cause irreversible damage.  To avoid this, look for products that have natural or vegan ingredients and are gentle on skin.  Even if you don’t have sensitive skin, it’s great to use products that are just to be safe.

Oily Skin

A positive feature of melanated skin is the ability to produce oil that is needed for moisture and age prevention.  Although, when overproduced it can create acne and over oily skin.  This may lead to using products that completely strip the skin, which isn’t the best solution either.  The best way to find balance between normal and oily skin is to be diligent with washing and choosing a good moisturizer.  Using a light oil also helps by nourishing the skin with what it needs so it doesn’t overproduce excess oils. 

Hyperpigmentation and Discoloration 

Due to environmental, hormonal, and chemical factors, melanated skin is prone to discoloration that can result in dark or light spots.  Being sure to use sunscreen daily and monitoring product ingredients are key ways to prevent this issue.  Products that help with brightening or skin tone evening are beneficial to reverse any spots.  

As we can see, melanated skin is unique and deserves special care. Introducing products that are safe and helpful is necessary as young kings begin shaping their grooming regimens from adolescence into adulthood.  By understanding skin needs and common issues, teens can better approach how to take care of their skin.
