20 Products Black Skin Experts Use to Overcome Their Biggest Skincare Challenges
Niambi Cacchioli, founder
of Pholk Beauty, is willing to reveal a common struggle that's rarely talked about. "Let’s talk facial hair. Oh yes, I’m going there! I went natural in my twenties and love the styling versatility of having thick, coily hair. That same texture grows out of my pores and for years I struggled with a cycle of hair removal and ingrown hairs. Ingrowns occur when the hair curls back into the skin and continues to grow in the wrong direction.
When inflamed, they can be painful and almost always leave a dark mark on my skin. To help, I trim hairs with facial scissors to space out hair removal times and I use these bamboo charcoal pads for absolutely everything! Once a week, I gently massage my chin area with a pad while I’m in the shower as a gentle manual exfoliation."
