Sometimes shopping for skincare can be overwhelming. This can be ten times more overwhelming if you are African/African American or if you have a melanated skin tone.

1. Rose water

If you grew up with your grandparents then you know this is the holy grail. It has several benefits but for the face it gives a cool and refreshing feel, while hydrating dry skin. Rose water also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that prevent damage caused by free radicals. It also controls excess oil.
