Tamron’s Beauty Bar: Skin Care Tips from Nyakio Grieco

Here are a few skin care tips from Nyakio Grieco. She is an entrepreneur and cofounder of inclusive retail site Thirteen Lune. Nyakio recommends incorporating the below tips into your skin care routine:

• Double Cleansing your skin by using two different cleansers.
  1. Keeps pores as clean as possible
  2. Use a cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin
• Always start with a balm to melt away makeup/impurities of the day/sunscreen.
• Oils are important for your skin.
  1. “Use oil to fight oil”
  2. People with very oily skin need more oil than someone with dry skin – their skin is working harder to produce oil, so adding more oil will help balance production
  3. As we age, we lose oils so adding some oil helps your skin
• Sunscreen is not a seasonal thing.
  1. No matter the amount of melanin in your skin, everyone needs to use sunscreen to protect us against the harmful effects of the Sun
  2. Don’t forget to add sunscreen to your hands
• Adding Vitamin C (HYPER SKIN VITAMIN C) to your sunscreen (ELEVEN BY VENUS WILLIAMS: UNRIVALED SUN SERUM SPF 35) helps the sunscreen work better.
