The ultimate skincare guide for Black women

Dija Ayodele takes you through the lifetime of skin, sharing transformative essentials from how to work out your skin
type to the dos and don’ts for your everyday routine. She explains the best ingredients for your skin and your budget, and the issues that Black women face: hyperpigmentation,
general skin discolouration and increased dryness.

Dija examines the concept of identity, looking at the way history has shaped how Black women express themselves in beauty and skincare, and debunks common myths and misconceptions: do darker skin tones need SPF? And is there any truth to the saying ‘Black don’t crack?’

Intelligent, informed and indispensable, this is the guide that every Black woman has been waiting for.
