Is there any Skin color you have always admired? If yes, it must be black. Why? Over the years, I have seen people complimenting the black color because it is an epitome of beauty so easy to maintain.
I could remember that while growing up, I had black skin everyone always admired, and everyone ended up advising me not to use bleaching cream but to maintain it with Coconut oil or Shea butter. I tried maintaining it, so I tried out a particular body lotion for black people, then my classmates started complaining that I was getting darker and losing my shine, so I had to stop. Since then, I have always been on the lookout for how to make black skin glow naturally. I bet someone reading this needs the same solution.
To solve this, I have observed a friend on Campus who is a Ghanian and has beautiful black skin. In this blog post, you will learn how to make your black skin glow naturally.
How To Make Black Skin Glow Naturally.
1. Exfoliating
I had never seen anybody put so much effort into maintaining her skin until I met my friend on Campus. Spending time at her hostel during church vigils opened me up to know much of what she does for her skin, and according to her, “You just have to do the needful if you want the best for your Skin.”
Every 30 days, your skin removes dead skin cells to generate new ones, but these dead cells can only be completely removed when you exfoliate. Exfoliating is capable of brightening your skin, reducing break out and discoloration, remove dry, hard, and dead cells to give your black skin an even tone.
Exfoliating also allows moisturizing products to work effectively as it opens up your pores and allow the moisturizer to penetrate deeply into your skin.

Exfoliating glove: This you’ll use with water and body wash for scrubbing your body.
Exfoliating cloths
° Body Scrub
° Face Scrub, especially Shea moisture.
2. Stay Hydrated
If anyone had told me this earlier, I would have been motivated to drink more water. Drinking water to naturally make your black skin glow might not sound too good, but it’s the truth.
When you don’t drink enough water, your skin will lack nutrients for your skin cells. Staying hydrated keeps your skin refreshed while maintaining skin elasticity, which produces a glowing impact.
This is why those who drink enough water rarely show signs of aging, wrinkles, etc. Hence, make drinking water a habit.
3. Moisturizing
Yes, you must learn to moisturize if you want your black skin to glow naturally because moisturizing eliminates dryness or oiliness and helps maintain your skin moisture which keeps you away from environmental damage to your skin.
However, avoid moisturizer that has too many chemicals.
4. Exercise
Your thoughts are just like mine. I had always thought exercise was to keep fit, and I never knew it helps with skin cells.
I’ve watched my friend exercising, and I can’t help but ask what she needed the exercise for, only for me to be told that “The sweat that comes out when you exercise removes toxins from your body and boosts your skin tone.”
It improves your blood circulation and oxygenation in the skin, which boosts the cells and gives you glowing skin.
5. Cleanse daily
You want glowing skin, yet the only time you clean is in the morning. No, ensure you wash your face in the morning and at night to remove every dirt, makeup, oil, and everything that has built up on your skin all day.
The same goes for your body. This is advisable if you want natural glowing black skin; however, do not over-cleanse.
6. Get a SunScreen
Black skin rarely sunburns, but they are still sensitive to sun damage such as sunspots, wrinkles, etc. So to protect your Skin, Get sunscreen irrespective of how short your distance is.
Sunscreen protects you against UV rays that can give you dull skin. For black skin, try to get the Black Girl Sunscreen.
7. Get good Sleep
My mum will always say, “Sleep is nature; you can’t cheat it.” That’s so true; if you need glowing skin, then learn to rest well because your skin needs Collagen protein, which can only be generated when you sleep. This collagen improves your skin texture and gives you a youthful look. Sleeping eliminates puffy eyes and dark circles within the eyes, and all this doesn’t complement glowing skin.
My friend never jokes about her Sleep. I wonder how a student can go to bed by 7 PM, and that’s her sleeping time, and she will be up by 4:30 AM.
8. Eat Nutritious Food
Nutrition is so important if you need glowing skin. My friend never stopped telling me my face is full of acne because I consume more Golden morn, Noodles, and Corn flakes than I eat good food.
So if you want glowing skin, eat more vegetables, fruits, beans, and other nutritional foods.
Additional ways include:
- Drinking Green Tea,
- Using Face Mask, etc.
