Let's start with the most important advice, regardless of whether you are black or white: SPF, SPF, SPF. A lot of black women don't think they need SPF. Everybody needs SPF, the sun does not discriminate. The other most important thing is, it's not cosmetics first, it's skincare first. When I was growing up that's what my mother told me. You brush your teeth twice a day, that's how many times you take care of your skin. And it doesn't have to be complicated, when you're young it's as simple as cleansing and moisturizing and as you get older you hydrate and you find what your skin type is because most women buy moisturizers that are not right for their skin—they think it's dry, it's not, they think it's oily, it's not. I know a red lipstick, a burgundy eye shadow, will change you visually in an instant, but skincare is an investment in one's self. And trust me the skin you take care of in your 20s is the one you inherit in your 50s 60s and above. That's an investment in yourself, the rest of the other stuff is visual wow. That's my advice to every woman.
