Top 15 Moisturizers for Black Skin (Face & Body)

Our skin is beautiful, and one crucial way to preserve that is by selecting the right moisturizers. However, we know all moisturizers weren’t created equally. People with darker skin require different products because we tend to have different skin concerns and allergies. And although our melanin provides benefits such as additional protection from the sun’s UV rays, we are still prone to the following conditions:

• Hyperpigmentation
• melasma
• dryness (ashy-looking skin)

So, it is so vital that we keep our skin hydrated. We have selected fifteen face and body moisturizers suited for our skin. Scroll below to learn which products seal in moisture, soothe our skin, and when we should apply them.

Remember, because our skin tends to lose moisture quicker than other shades, we need products that contain hyaluronic acid. This ingredient helps us hold in moisture. Also, it is essential to note that face moisturizers should be applied in the morning and evening. In contrast, body moisturizers should be generously applied after each shower.
