I know the answer seems simplistic, but as a professional esthetician, I recommend you find a good skin care professional in your area and ask for a consult. Any pro worth their salt will not charge you for a skin consult and analysis. Before you can determine any product that would be ';Best'; you need to know your skin type %26amp; condition, any allergies you may have ( i.e., Vitamin E can be an irritant to some individuals, and it is a component of many, many products on the market because of its antioxidant properties), etcetera. A skin consult and analysis should include a thorough skin health questionnaire as well as a health screening, and then a physical exam of your skin under magnification and with special equipment.
Until you can do this, I recommend using Cetaphil Sensitive Skin Cleanser and good old fashioned Witch Hazel (diluted to 50% with distilled water) as a toner. I recommend, as an interim measure, Olay Complete Defense Daily UV Sensitive Skin moisturizer with SPF30.
An additional note: Because black skin is easily damaged and scarred, you will want to avoid micro-dermabrasion and laser treatments unless recommended and performed by a plastic surgeon.
Good luck!What is the best facial cleansing product and face lotion for african american skin?
well, natural cocoa butter or shea butter lotions and creams are the best, but as an added moisturiser, you can put a thin layer of vaseline on your skin after bathing Report Abuse
I can only speak for myself, and I use Aveda products. Their Botanical Kinetics skincare line is all natural, plant-derived ingredients that don't contain any detergents (your cleaser shouldn't foam) which comes in a gel cleanser for normal to oily skin and a cream cleanser for dry skin. Their facial lotion is lighter than air, never greasy, and feels like a second skin. I heartily recommend it.
Aloe Cleanser and Aloe Toner like The Body Shop Aloe line,
Pro-activ works really well!
