Black skin has an increased amount of melanin, which means that people who have black skin do not appear to age as quickly as others with lighter skin. This advantage that darker skin has over lighter skin also becomes a disadvantage later in life with hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is blotchy skin. Sunblock and proper moisturizers or important for black skin.

I guess one of the biggest challenges to black skin care is moisture. You need to make sure that every day you constantly apply lotion to your skin otherwise you can become ashy. You can't slip up otherwise it will show up on you rather easily. If it helps, apply cocoa butter to your face.
