My debut book!

Three years in the making and here we are, Black Skin - The Definitive Skincare Guide is soon to be published. Somewhere in this occasion is a story in holding on to and re-routing a dream to get to the end destination.

Book notes, July 2020

I am so proud of this book It’s been an absolute honour and joy to write it. My mission has always been to ensure all Black women are seen in skincare and over the last ten years, I’ve witnessed the anxiety that Black women experience in accessing information and treatments to care for their unique skincare needs. That worry stops here! Like me, this guide is sassy, fun and plain speaking. I am really proud of Black Skin and excited to be putting skincare for Black women on the map, in a way that’s never been done before!’

My book (pinch me!) is a comprehensive guide for Black women to care for their skin as well as provide social and historical insights into beauty and the concept of Blackness. In it, I share my tips and tricks, from the best ingredients for Black women to look out for, to how to deal with the most common complaints affecting darker skin tones such as hyperpigmentation and keloid scarring. I dispel the many myths and misconceptions that plague the industry about Black skin, so that you are armed with the information to have your best and healthiest skin. This is a no holds barred tour in skin health.

I am super grateful with my team and HQ/HarperCollins for helping me to bring Black Skin into the world and I can’t wait to change the game with it on 25th November.
