Melanin glow 🤎

I just admire my skin. I don’t really have a skin care routine at all & im so scared to start one because it may break me out. So I just play it safe!

Also, I did a different hairstyle today. That was wild. I rinsed out old product. Added leave in conditioner. Then added too much product. Had to turn around and re rinse my hair again. Then style it lol. It was a lot but this was the end results. I like it.

Two more weeks of wearing my natural hair out and then back to my wigs I go lol. I can’t fathom doing my hair every single morning 😂 I’m also just ready to not really have to put my hands in my head. I’ll be braided down and protected.

... Read moreMelanin skin is often celebrated for its natural glow, which exudes beauty and confidence. Many individuals with melanin-rich skin share similar concerns about skin care routines, fearing breakouts from new products. However, a minimalistic approach can sometimes be the best, allowing skin to thrive in its natural state. Natural hair, like skin, also requires special attention. From maintaining moisture with leave-in conditioners to experimenting with various hairstyles, the process can be creatively challenging yet fulfilling. For those embracing their natural hair, protective styles like braids offer a break from daily maintenance, allowing hair to grow without constant manipulation. Incorporating protective methods can also promote healthy hair growth and preservation. By prioritizing hair health and skin wellness, one can enjoy the beauty of their melanin glow and natural textures. It's important to find products that work well individually, avoiding undue stress on the skin and hair while celebrating one’s unique features. Engaging with communities on platforms like Lemon8 can provide inspiration and tips from others who share similar experiences. Connect with hashtags like #melaninskin, #naturalhairstyles, or join the #lemon8diarychallenge to share your journey and discover a wealth of shared knowledge.

tanning products for my low melanin girlies
tanning can feel like such a long process, these products helped me tan faster and safely. i use the spray sunscreen on higher UV(8-11) days and the instant bronzer on lower UV days(5-7). i hope this helps! don’t forget to moisturize🤎 #tanningproducts #summer #viral #bodytransformation
