Black Men-’Basic Black’ Article Review

I recently read an article on menessentials.com about issues black men face along with a few beauty tips.  It’s an excellent article for African American skin care.  If you are an AA male who struggles with ingrown hairs, maybe dark spots, or dry skin, then this article is for you.  Recently, I was approached by a male co-worker who suffered from bad razor bumps after shaving with a razor system.  His skin became very dry and bumpy and to boot, he applied alcohol to his face.  Note:  alcohol usually dries out the skin, so  I would not recommend applying alcohol to your face.  So I suggested he use a antiseptic less abrasive such as witch hazel to pat his face after the shave, then apply a grease-less moisturizer to restore moisture in his face.  And I’m proud to say, he reported back to me with a bump-free, smooth face…another happy customer.

So, please take a look at this article and apply some of the techniques and methods to keep your skin beautiful and sexy.  In the words of P. Diddy, “Preserve that sexy!”
