With the unique characteristics of our skin, aging for many of us means dermatosis papulosa nigra (the prominent cluster of benign growths that can appear on the face and neck (commonly thought to be moles)). This condition affects 35% of African American men and women and ranges from mild (less than 10 spots) to severe (more than 50 spots). While dermatosis papulosa nigra is harmless, it can be rather unsightly. It is believed that a combination of heredity, aging and exposure to the sun are factors in the development of this condition.
Aging also means hyperpigmentation issues (uneven skin tone), dulling of the skin, enlarged pores, rough skin texture and excessive darkening of the skin along the cheeks and around the mouth. Aging control products for African American must address these issues.
Face Saver Cosmetics' age control products are supplement cellular treatments that contain active ingredients that respond to individual skin care needs to fortify moisturization and nourishment of African-American skin.
