What to know when treating multicultural skin
It is a common misconception that darker skin, with higher melanin production, especially black skin is tough and resilient. And while all skin is resilient, not all multicultural skin can withstand aggressive treatments. Melanin cells are extremely active in the skin, which means that discoloration can occur quickly. A higher Fitzpatrick level (4-6) is actually quite fragile, but a lot of people think the opposite. This is why professionals in the industry should be a safe haven to clear up all the false information surrounding multicultural skin & the skincare world. Our job is to educate not to fear-monger products, or ingredients saying that "you can’t" use products or try treatments. It means that your approach needs to be considered with careful thought to your skin and background.
