Home use micro-needling devices, often called derma-rollers tend to be hand rolled across the skin (this action can create tears in the skin) and the pressure cannot be controlled. This means that users tend to be heavy handed and unknowingly cause injury to deeper layers of the skin. On Black skin, this opens up the risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and keloid scarring.

There’s nothing more liberating than having the confidence to rock your bare skin and so many of us are now choosing to go make up free. Of course, we’re lapping it up at Black Skin Directory because there’s nothing more we love than seeing Black and brown women embrace their natural skin. Our philosophy has always been to empower you with the knowledge and advice to help you keep your skin in it’s best health, so you can step out like a baddie in self love and acceptance.
