The Best Sunscreens for Dark Skin

Many people believe that dark skin can’t get damaged by the sun — but that’s not true. Yes, dark skin has some natural protection, but it can still suffer from sunburn, dark spots, early aging, and even skin cancer. That’s why dermatologists say everyone should use sunscreen with SPF 30 or more — no matter their skin tone.
Many sunscreens leave a white layer on the skin, which puts off people with darker skin from using them daily.
Fortunately, the beauty market has come a long way. Here are some great sunscreens that protect your skin — without leaving a white film.
Black Girl Sunscreen
Made specifically for darker skin tones, Black Girl Sunscreen is a favorite for good reason – it works. The lightweight formula goes on smoothly and leaves your skin soft, hydrated and glowing.

Botox vs. Fillers: What They Actually Do—and How to Tell If Either One’s for You

Maybe it starts with a conversation—someone you know mentions getting a little “touch-up,” or you scroll past a post about cosmetic treatments that makes you curious. You’ve never thought much about it before, but now the idea echoes. What exactly do these treatments do? And how different are they, really?
Botox and fillers often come up together, especially in discussions about aging or facial aesthetics. While they’re sometimes grouped under the same umbrella, they serve very different purposes. Understanding how each one works can help you figure out which—if either—might suit your needs.
Understanding Botox
Botox works below the skin. It’s used to relax specific facial muscles—especially those that move when you frown, squint, or lift your eyebrows. These repeated movements eventually leave lines behind, most often on the forehead or around the eyes.
When the muscle is relaxed, the skin above it isn’t pulled in the same way, and the lines tend to fade or become less obvious. It doesn’t stop all motion and doesn’t have to look stiff. In the right hands, it simply softens the more noticeable signs of repeated expression.
What Fillers Are Meant to Do
Fillers are different. They’re not about muscle—they’re about volume. As the skin ages, it loses some of its natural support. Cheeks may look flatter, lips thinner, or the area under the eyes a bit hollow. That’s where fillers come in.
Most are made from hyaluronic acid, which holds moisture and adds structure. When placed carefully, fillers can bring back some fullness and shape. They’re also used to define features that have started to lose their edge. Done well, they don’t change your face; they just give it a bit of its old firmness back.
Choosing Between the Two
If you notice wrinkles that deepen when your face moves—like when you squint or frown—Botox may help. If what’s bothering you is volume loss, or a change in the overall shape of your face, then a filler might be more suitable.
Some people choose to combine the two. Botox to settle the muscles, and fillers to rebuild what’s faded. But there’s no rule. It depends on what you’re comfortable with and what result you’re looking for.
Why the Person Doing It Matters
These are not over-the-counter treatments. They require medical skill and good judgment. Whoever you see should have proper training and know how to apply these tools with care and restraint.
Before going ahead with anything, ask to see examples of past work. A solid consultation should include a real conversation—where you feel free to ask questions and get honest feedback, not a sales pitch. The best practitioners don’t rush and won’t push you into decisions.
You Decide What Matters
There’s no correct age to start any of this. There’s no standard version of how you’re supposed to look. These treatments are personal. Some people try them and feel better for it. Others don’t feel the need.
Either way, it’s your face. You’re the one living in it every day. If you choose to do something, let it be for you—not because of pressure or trends, but because it feels right in your own mind.

The Ultimate Natural Glow? Turmeric Might Be the Secret

Let’s be honest—everyone wants skin that looks hydrated, rested, and effortlessly clear. The kind that doesn’t rely on filters or a shelf full of serums. For some, it comes down to genetics. For others, it’s a slow process of finding what works (and what definitely doesn’t). But one simple ingredient that’s quietly resurfaced in skincare circles might be worth your attention—and chances are, it’s already sitting in your kitchen. Turmeric. Yes, the same spice you add to curry might be the glow-up your skin’s been waiting for.
Turmeric isn’t some new trend. It’s been part of beauty and wellness routines in India, Indonesia, and parts of Africa for generations. What’s changed is how it’s now showing up everywhere—face masks, tonics, scrubs, and even smoothies. That’s largely thanks to curcumin, the main active compound in turmeric, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In simpler terms: it helps calm irritated skin, tackles dullness, and may even out your complexion if used regularly.
What makes turmeric even more appealing is how many ways you can use it. Some people mix it with honey for a DIY mask. Others stir it into warm milk or smoothies for an internal boost. There’s no single “correct” way, but whichever path you choose, consistency is what matters. One face mask won’t change your skin overnight—but steady use, alongside basic skincare and healthy habits like staying hydrated, can lead to noticeable results.
Of course, turmeric isn’t perfect. It stains—fabrics, surfaces, even your skin. A heavy hand can leave your face with a golden tint that lasts longer than you’d like. Start small and be cautious with how much you use in homemade recipes. If your skin tends to be sensitive, do a patch test first or check in with a dermatologist before committing to anything new.
Also, don’t fall for products that splash “turmeric” across the label but barely include enough of it to make a difference. Ingredients lists matter. Look for turmeric in the top half of the list, not tucked away at the bottom behind a dozen fillers.
There’s something refreshing about turning to a time-tested, natural ingredient that doesn’t come wrapped in hype. Turmeric won’t transform your skin overnight—but it might give it the steady, gentle care it’s been needing. Think of it as more of a long-term friend than a quick fix.
So if you’re after that low-effort, natural glow—the kind that doesn’t look overly polished—turmeric could easily become your new skincare staple. Just make sure to rinse thoroughly… unless you’re trying to match your spice rack.
