Black skin is God’s gift to humanity, and primary reason humanity exist. Without melanin, humanity would not have made it out of Africa. WeBlack People should be reminded every time they see black skin, that it is part of the story of humanity, and the Creator wanted our skin to be black. Our skin is part of the Black God Science, since we were created in God’s image.This book provides valuable information about taking care of our gift from the Creator and how skin is a part of our temple and is an incredible organ, so we need to take care of it. ... show more

  • Great Read
Amazing book! Very beginner friendly and easy to understand. Only con is the way the book was made the pages are constantly flipping over making it hard to read and hold the page at the same time. Otherwise I definitely recommend !

  • Black and Beautiful
Good refresher and excellent education on black history. When I thought I knew all the ways to care for my skin as I age. To read this book I felt inspired and well informed on today’s methods of caring for my skin in the most healthy possible!

  • A must have
I like to be an informed shopper, I don’t like to just buy products in hope for the best so this book gave me a lot of clarity when it came to what products I should go looking for. One thing I wished it elaborated about more was LED light therapy. I hear that only green light therapy is good for the skin I wonder if we can use red and blue light therapy as well. ... show more
