Melanin-rich skin, a unique andbeautiful complexion, refers to ahigh concentration of melanin,a pigment responsible for skincolor, hair, and eyes. Individualswith melanin-rich skin oftenhave brown or black hair, darkeyes, and deep complexions. Melanocytes produce melaninand vary in amount due togenetic factors, sun exposure,and hormonal changes. Thispigment not only determinesskin color but also provides adegree of protection againstultraviolet (UV) radiation.However, despite this naturalprotection, melanin-rich skin isstill susceptible to sunburn andskin cancer, making adequatesun protection crucial.Understanding Melanin-Rich SkinEssential Skincare Steps for Melanin-Rich SkinCleansingCleansing is the cornerstone of any skincare routine, especially for melanin-rich skin prone tohyperpigmentation and moisture retention. A gentle cleanser should effectively remove impuritiesand excess oil without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid are ideal as they hydrate while cleansing, maintainingthe skin's natural balance. Over-cleansing or using harsh products can strip beneficial oils, leavingthe skin vulnerable and potentially leading to increased dryness and irritation.ExfoliatingMelanin-rich skin benefits from regular exfoliation, removing dead skin cells and promoting skinsurface renewal. However, it is crucial to exfoliate gently to prevent triggering hyperpigmentation. Natural ingredients like coffee grounds, sugar, or sea salt can be effective yet gentle choices. Forthose with sensitive skin, enzymatic exfoliators that do not irritate or cause abrasions might bepreferable. These enzymatic solutions help in shedding dead cells without the harshness ofmechanical scrubs.

Page 14

Understanding Melanin-Rich SkinMoisturizingHydration is vital in maintaining the luster and health of melanin-rich skin. Products containinghumectants like hyaluronic acid draw moisture into the skin, while emollients such as ceramideshelp smooth and soften. Occlusives like shea butter seal in moisture, creating a barrier againstenvironmental stressors. It's important to use creams and oils rich in nourishing ingredients thathydrate and support the skin's natural barrier, preventing moisture loss and enhancing skinresilience.Sun ProtectionDespite the natural UV protection melanin provides, melanin-rich skin requires additional sunprotection to guard against hyperpigmentation and maintain overall skin health. A broad-spectrumsunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher is not just recommended, it's a must. Mineral-basedsunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are preferred. They are less likely to irritate theskin and do not leave a white cast if formulated correctly for darker skin tones. Daily applicationand reapplication are essential to protect the skin from UV damage.

What is one beauty product you wouldnever leave at home?Mario Badescu, I love any aloe veraspray or cucumber spray. I have tohave that with me at all times. I alsohave a little travel size that I get atUrban Outfitters. I kind of freak outwhen I do not have it (laughs). The truth is that we all face challenges, but those challenges help usevolve. We are constantly growing. You are an inspiration to many.Reflecting on the past year, what is your biggest lesson? How has ithelped you evolve as a person?I'm a recovering perfectionist. Life can get messy and complicated. It isreally out of those difficult times that you grow, and it is what makesyou better. I try to remember that. Sometimes, when it hurts, that iswhen we are growing. It was always essential for me to--it sounds alittle corny--and it is challenging, but I try to improve because of thedifficult times. I always try to reflect on that when things are painful.Some things can be helpful, and others can be wrong again (laughs).Life is a ride, and I make an effort to be forgiving of myself. I forgivepeople far quicker than I forgive myself. It gets messy, but it can be abeautiful mess.Beauti & Wellness with ActressRobin Givens

One beauti product you cannot live without:Skin Food by WeledaNow, let's go way back. Before you made it to where you are today share some of thestruggles you had along the way. When people see another as successful, they oftenforget that those people also had their share of ups and downs. Share a time whenyou felt discouraged early on in your career. How did you overcome it, and whatadvice would you give to another based on your experience?Big surprise---like most people, I've been marginalized for a long time. When I firstmoved to L.A., there was no spot for me. I don't know why or how, but I believed I wouldbe okay. I had no business even thinking that I would be able to pay my bills as anactor. I didn't have a choice-- I always knew I would be an artist. I thought I would be amusician, so, strangely, I ended up an actor, but there was no evidence that I would be"okay." The one way for it to not happen is to quit. I come from a long line ofworkaholics, so I was making something else when I wasn't working as an actor. Iwrote, directed in the studio, and helped others with their projects. Acting can be avery lonely experience. It hasn't been mine because what I love most about my work isthat it's highly collaborative. It doesn't matter if I'm acting on a project or not because Iknow I'm going to be working on something.Beauti & Wellness with Actress & Film MakerJanina Gavankar

Iused Ivory Soap on my face, applying it with facialbrushes my mom used to buy from her Avonrepresentative. For a face mask, I would put raw eggwhites on my face for about 20-30 minutes. Andbelieve it or not, my facial moisturizer was regularlotion or an ultra-thin Vaseline film.From my early twenties to now, I have used CetaphilCleanser and oxy pads to clean my face. I also apply aretinol, moisturizer, and sunscreen. As I have gottenolder, I've noticed that my eyelashes tend to shed a lotfaster. I discovered Grande Lash MD Lash EnhancingSerum and am beyond pleased with the results; I getmany compliments on how long my lashes are.I also make it a point in the morning (when I can) todunk my face in ice water three times, for about 10-15seconds each time. It helps with a puffy face and eyes,removes the swelling, and refreshes me!I do not wear a lot of makeup daily. Usually, foundation(Il Makiage – Woke up Like This), powder (MAC – StudioFix), curled lashes (Elf – lash curler), mascara (ThriveCausemetics), a bit of lip gloss (Mecca Cosmetica –Original Lip De-Luscious with SPF 25) and I am ready togo.For special occasions, I enhance my look with a red lip.MAC Russian Red lipstick has been my "go-to" fordecades.What beauty tips have stood the test of time for you?Sometimes, less is more.Vaseline is a good lip moisturizer and mascara is amust.BEAUTISPORTS Illustrated Rookie Model Winner/FinalistDr. Nina CashRead her fullinterview here.

Growing up in a Jamaican family, food isn't just apart of our culture; it's our identity. But I've also learnedto prioritize my health. I've discovered ways to cook withhealthier ingredients without sacrificing taste. I indulgein an organic oat porridge, dairy-free and topped withvibrant berries for breakfast. Lunch is a refreshing jerkchicken salad, and dinner is a flavorful roasted redsnapper with okras and scotch bonnet peppers. It's allabout balance and making choices that nourish mybody and taste buds.Balancing Motherhood and Self-care: With three boys, a husband, and a house, how do youstay strong and healthy with such a busy schedule?

Could you shareyour secrets for maintaining yournatural hair? Are there any specificproducts or techniques you recommend?Who helps you slay your hair looks?I wear a lot of wigs, so most people onlinedon't know whether my natural hair isbald with missing edges or full andhealthy! But I'm happy to share that it'shealthy (so much so that when I wear mynatural hair on social media, peopleassume it's a wig). I only wear wigs forspecial occasions and usually use theglueless option. I wear my natural hairdaily and focus on having a good haircare routine.The first step to an excellent natural hairroutine (with or without a relaxer) isidentifying your hair porosity. Your hairporosity helps determine what productsare right for you and what's not. Forexample, someone with low porosity hairwould not benefit from a proteintreatment; this would clog their pores andbreak their hair as opposed to someonewith high porosity protein would growtheir hair.Lesa MilanIs Slaying Beauti & WellnessCOVER GIRL
