1. Aim to use cleansers that contain salicylic acid or alpha hydroxyl acid which are amazing ingredients for unclogging pores.
2. Always apply moisturizer after washing your face in order to replace any moisture that was lost during cleansing.
3. Of course, we know you must use your hands to apply moisturizer but that’s all the touching that should really occur. Continuously touching the face runs the risk of transferring oils or bacteria to your skin.
4. Get into the habit of exfoliating your skin twice a week with products containing small grainy particles or micro-beads. Using such products will not only help to keep pores unclogged but will aid in new skin cell growth.
5. When it comes to cleansing use the twice daily rule. Cleaning your skin more often then that on a daily basis can actually create more inflammation and acne.
Alright girls those are 5 skincare tips that you can store in your back pocket. Now get out there and take some killer selfies! See ya on the Gram…

There are numerous black hairstyles that black women are wearing to help grow and maintain healthy hair. Celebrities in many ways are at the forefront in setting hair trends that will have us all running to the salon to cop it A to S and AP. Here are 10 celebrities who beautifully pulled off braided hairstyles.
Braids can look beautiful but to keep them looking pristine there is some maintenance needed. We will get into more of that in our next black hairstyles post. However, one issue some ladies come across when wearing braids is the dreaded itch.
We have all seen it or done it… the palm of the hand slowly creeps it way towards the head and the patting begins. Or if that doesn’t do it then as a last resort scratching becomes the next best option. Nevertheless, are there any black hairstyle tips that can be kept in mind in order to resolve this hair matter?
1. Dryness: Itching can occur when the scalp is very dry. In this case adding moisture could help to relieve any discomfort. Think braid oils as well as sprays and you will be on the right track.
2. Wash Cycle: The dreaded itch could also be a sign or indicator that it is time for cleansing to take place. Many naturalists are finding that using a dry shampoos do wonders to remove any itch.

Our favorite model/singer of all time has a new fashion venture that is just simply cool. How many celebrities out there are choosing to endorse socks? Better yet, how many could lend one’s name to a sock brand and make them look like the must-have accessory of the season? We have to say it, but most likely only Rihanna!
Just days ago RiRi released an attention grabbing music video for her music chart hit BBHMM that had everyone talking. Now the trendy, sassy star is the newest face aka Punk and Poet for Stance socks and the brand couldn’t be happier to have her on board. The Vice President of the women’s division of Stance, Candy Harris spilled the beans on why Rihanna was their obvious choice. She said,
Yeah, just think back on any look by Rihanna whether on a red carpet or on the streets of any another country and it is clear that she just gets “It.” Rihanna oozes a fashion and style appeal that makes even a pink dress that looks like a cupcake seem like the perfect prom dress.However, even though she is one of the few that can get away with wearing a paper sack… socks? Harris revealed,
After that statement, it does make you have an Aha moment doesn’t it? Think about it, when is the last time someone said, “Oh you are wearing socks? Girl that was so two seasons ago!” We are sure you would be hard pressed to think of a conversation that went like that. Nevertheless, that proves the point that socks are not swayed by time, trends or any other fashion movement. They never go out of style, everyone wears them and they are really an untapped market.
While numerous celebrities are sticking to fragrances, typical fashion lines and hair extensions Rihanna has once again emerged as a true out of the box fashion thinker. For the Murder Rih Wrote (yeah, that’s sock collection name and we love the pun) ad campaign Rihanna seems to mix retro with modern chic due the styling of her hair as well as makeup and the edgy display and vibe of the socks. So then, what is the inspiration behind Rihanna’s first design of socks for Stance? Stance mentioned on their Instagram that,
Therefore, all the boss ladies of the world unite because we are getting some recognition! Over the past decade Rihanna has proven that hard work and dedication does get you places; especially if you are willing to take a Stance for what you truly believe in.
Fashion Notes: For the past few years runway models have been spotted coming the catwalk with socks and heels. As during those shows, Rihanna’s ad shows that the look doesn’t just have to remain in elementary school. Socks and heels can look just as sexy with the right attitude and vibes. Would you wear it?
