While it's true that black skin is stronger and has the physiological advantage of resisting sun damage, and while it doesn't show its age as easily as white skin, it doesn't mean that you don't have to take good care of it. To keep black skin healthy-looking, and to prevent the excess pigmentation that can develop on troubled and inflamed skin, follow these guidelines:
Don't use abrasive cleansers on your face.
Don't use harsh detergent soaps.
Do not squeeze pimples.
Do not use Vaseline or pomades on your scalp or face.
Try not to scratch or irritate your skin.
