“FLAWDA” Girl Skincare Tips for Clear Skin This Spring ☀️🍊
Look—if you know, you know. Ain’t nothin’ like a true FLAWDA girl glow. That warm weather, that humidity, that sunshine hit different down here. But let’s be real—it also means your skincare gotta be on point. You can’t just slap on some lotion and bounce. If you wanna keep your skin fresh, poppin’, and acne-free in this heat, you gon’ need a solid routine made for us, by us.
Here’s how a FLAWDA girl keeps her face flawless in the spring:
1. Cleanse Daily, But Don’t Strip Ya Skin
That heat and humidity? They’ll have your pores crying. You gotta cleanse daily to get that sweat, oil, and grime off your face. But don’t overdo it.
🧼 Use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser that don’t leave you feelin’ tight and ashy. Look for one with tea tree, African black soap, or aloe vera—somethin’ soothing, especially for us melanated mamas.
2. Tone it Up (But Not with No Alcohol)
Toner helps balance your skin out after cleansing. But we ain’t usin’ that old-school stingin’ stuff that burns and dries your skin out.
✨ Try a rose water or witch hazel toner (alcohol-free) with a lil’ lavender or chamomile in it. It’ll calm your skin and help shrink them pores without irritation.
3. Hydration = GLOW
Listen, don’t let nobody tell you Black skin don’t need moisturizer. Ashy is not in this season—or any season.
💧 Go for lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers (that’s just a fancy way of sayin’ it won’t clog your pores). Gel creams or water-based moisturizers with hyaluronic acid are perfect for spring. Especially when it’s humid and your skin just need to breathe.
4. Don’t Skip That SPF Sis!
Say it louder for the folks in the back: BLACK GIRLS NEED SUNSCREEN TOO!
☀️ Just ‘cause we melanin-rich don’t mean we invincible. That sun can still damage our skin, cause dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging. Go for a Black girl-friendly SPF—no white cast, no greasy mess. Look for one with 30+ SPF that blends into deep skin like butter.
5. Exfoliate Smart, Not Hard
You tryna glow like citrus fruit in a Florida grove? You gotta get that dead skin off.
🍊 But baby, gentle is key. Don’t scrub your face like you scrubbing pots. Use a mild chemical exfoliant 1-2 times a week (like glycolic acid or lactic acid) or a soft physical scrub with jojoba beads. Your skin will be smoother, brighter, and way less likely to break out.
6. Mask + Chill
We love a good self-care Sunday, right? Clay masks help pull out the gunk from your pores and brighten your complexion.
🎭 Use a bentonite or kaolin clay mask once a week, especially if you got oily or acne-prone skin. Add a couple drops of tea tree or rosehip oil for that spa-like effect.
7. Eat Ya Water & Drink It Too
A lotta folks be out here buying $60 serums and still ain’t drinkin’ no water. Don’t be that girl.
💦 Hydration starts inside. Sip water all day and snack on fruits like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges. It keeps your skin supple, fights inflammation, and helps you keep that natural glow.
8. Keep It Clean, Period.
No amount of skincare gon’ save you if your pillowcases dirty and your hands always on your face.
🛏️ Wash your pillowcases and towels weekly, wipe down your phone, and try not to pick or touch your face constantly—especially if you outside sweatin’ in that FLAWDA sun.
Final Thoughts: Be Patient, But Stay Consistent 💕
Clear skin ain’t no overnight miracle—but consistency is the secret sauce. Your skin will thank you for showin’ up for it every day. Whether you rockin’ the natural glow, minimal makeup, or full beat—taking care of your skin is the real flex.
