Let’s talk about skincare! If you have dark skin, you already know that your skin has unique properties and characteristics that require special care. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are 5 expert skincare tips, along with some fun Q7 Paris product recommendations…

  1. Know your skin type
    Whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin, knowing your skin type is the first step to creating a skincare routine that works for you. Take a few minutes to assess your skin type and what products you may need. Remember to look for brands which are designed in mind for every skin type, just like Q7Paris!
  2. Use a gentle cleanser
    Don’t be too harsh on your sensitive skin! When cleansing your face, use a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils. Check out our Micellar Cleansing Water, a non-drying formula that will leave your skin feeling clean, fresh, and radiant.
  3. Moisturise daily
    Moisturising is the key to beautiful, glowing skin. Look for a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser that absorbs easily into your skin. Q7Paris’ Skin Clear Lotion is perfect for dark skin, with its nourishing formula that hydrates and brightens your skin.
  4. Protect from the Sun
    Dark skin is not immune to sun damage, so it’s important to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day. Our Anti-Spots Active SPF Lotion is a great option for dark skin, with its lightweight, non-greasy formula. 
  5. Exfoliate regularly
    Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and helps your skin absorb your skincare products more effectively. Look for a gentle exfoliator that won’t irritate your skin. Our Carrot Exfoliating Soap is a perfect pairing, with its gentle formula that leaves your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

Taking care of your skin can be a challenge, but it’s worth it. With these expert tips and the right products, you can achieve the healthy skin you’ve been waiting for. So, go ahead and try out these tips, and remember to love and embrace your skin just the way it is with Q7Paris!

Discover our range

Protecting yourself from the harmful rays of the sun is essential for a healthy skin. With the arrival of spring and summer, we’re delving into how the sun can damage your skin and how it is essential to prepare and educate yourself about how to stay safe in the sun. 

Short and long-term damage

UVB rays are the main cause of sunburn, which is an immediately visible sign of skin damage. Sunburned skin is red, tender and can feel hot to the touch. UVB rays can also cause long-term damage to the skin, such as premature ageing and an increased risk of skin cancer.

UVA rays can also cause long-term damage to the skin, even though they are less likely to cause sunburn. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and can cause damage to the skin’s elastin fibres. Over time, this damage can lead to premature ageing, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. 

At Q7Paris we’re all about keeping your skin healthy and happy so here are some tips to get you started…

Use Sunscreen

The most crucial step in protecting your skin is to use sunscreen daily. Choose a sunscreen with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 30 or higher, and apply it 20-30 minutes before sun exposure. Don’t forget to reapply it every two hours or after swimming or sweating. Our favourite is the Q7Paris Luminaire Lotion 3 which is active lighting for hyperpigmentation and dark spots and contains SPF 30.

Cover Up & Seek Shade

Covering up is another effective way to protect yourself from the sun. Wear protective clothing, such as hats, long-sleeved shirts, and pants. If possible, stay in the shade during the hottest hours of the day, between 10 am and 4 pm. You can sit under a tree or an umbrella, or wear a wide-brimmed hat to provide extra shade. If the top of your head and hair has been out in the sun for too long, you may find your scalp and hair becoming dry. The Q7Paris Hair and Scalp Rescue Bundle has products like coconut oil and acts as a natural sunscreen to the hair and scalp whilst adding moisture. 

 

Stay Hydrated

Lastly, make sure you stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Dehydration can make your skin more susceptible to sun damage and can lead to heat stroke. Carry a water bottle with you when you go out so you’re never stuck without water. Moisture for your skin is also important. The Q7Paris Carrot Skin Lightening lotion helps fade away any discolouration, locking in moisture, and balancing out skin tone whilst softening your skin.  

Already have sun-burn? 

Don’t worry! It happens to the best of us – focus on applying cooling lotions like the Q7Paris Aloe Vera Cooling Gel perfect for sun-exposed, mildly burnt, or irritated skin. This gel has a soothing mint cooling effect, offering rapid burn relief and antiseptic properties. We also have the Aloe Vera Cooling Gel: Sensitive Skin, for anyone with sensitive skin – this gel doesn’t contain any fragrance, colouring, or alcohol.

Let’s protect your skin

Taking good care of your skin in the sun is crucial. Follow these tips to help prevent sunburn and other skin damage, and enjoy your time outdoors this spring and summer!

Today’s blog focuses on hyperpigmentation and dark spots; what causes them, what the effects are and how to eliminate them and unify your complexion.

What is Hyperpigmentation?

Melanin is a pigment that’s present in skin. While melanin is found in most skin, skin of colour contains higher amounts of melanin than white skin.

In some cases, excess amounts of melanin can form in certain areas of the skin.

This can lead to hyperpigmentation, which is when an area of skin appears darker than the skin that surrounds it.

The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin. The dermis is found deeper in your skin, below the epidermis. Hyperpigmentation can affect the epidermis, the dermis, or both.

In most cases, epidermal hyperpigmentation is simpler to treat, although it may take a number of months to see any improvement. Dermal hyperpigmentation is more difficult to treat and, in some cases, is permanent.

Hyperpigmentation is common in black skin. In fact, it’s one of the top five most commonly diagnosed skin conditions in black people.

Even though hyperpigmentation is physically harmless, it is usually more severe in black skin. Because of this, it can cause a high degree of psychological stress and impact quality of life. This is why effective treatment is important.

What does hyperpigmentation look like?

Hyperpigmentation will appear as a mark, spot, or area that’s noticeably darker than your surrounding skin. The exact colour of a hyperpigmented spot can depend on the root cause, as well as on your skin tone.

Look out for spots that appear:

How is Hyperpigmentation Treated?

Skin conditions like acne and psoriasis can aid the development of hyperpigmentation. Due to this, treating these conditions is important for slowing or stopping the appearance of new dark spots.

It’s possible for some medications to cause hyperpigmentation. If this is the case, your doctor may recommend a different dose or an alternative medication.

Daily sunscreen

Your skin cells produce additional melanin to be able to better absorb harmful UV rays. This means that exposure to sunlight can make dark spots even darker. Because of this, using sunscreen is important in treating hyperpigmentation. Q7Paris provides a combined Skin Lightening and Sunscreen Lotion: a 2-in-1 lotion that will both help lighten hyperpigmentation and help protect your skin from further sun damage. Check it out here.

Skin-lightening products

Skin-lightening products can be applied directly to existing dark spots, helping to lighten them. They work by slowing the production of melanin so that hyperpigmented spots slowly fade to match your surrounding skin.

Q7 Paris provides a number of products that are designed with skin-lightening as the primary function. We know how difficult it can be to deal with hyperpigmentation and dark spots, so we want to make sure that everyone has access to the same products that can help to fix the issue. For this reason, we offer the Q7Paris Luminaire Lotion 2 – Hyperpigmentation Control Intensive Lightening & Rejuvenating Night Lotion

What causes hyperpigmentation?

A variety of things can cause hyperpigmentation to happen in people of colour, such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, periorbital hyperpigmentation or acanthosis nigricans.

Can you prevent hyperpigmentation?

Here are some ways you can help prevent hyperpigmentation:

For hyperpigmentation issues, Q7 Paris recommends our very own Luminaire range. It is specially formulated to help tackle this issue and unify complexion.

Tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is an essential oil that comes from steaming the leaves of the Australian tea tree.

When used topically, tea tree oil is believed to be antibacterial. Tea tree oil is used to treat various skin conditions – such as acne, athlete’s foot, eczema, rashes and insect bites.

​​What are the benefits of using tea tree oil for the skin?

Tea tree oil is effective in promoting healthy skin by soothing and healing a wide range of skin issues. But first, let’s go over a few precautions before you use it:

Dry skin and eczema

Tea tree oil has been proven to be one of the most effective substances for soothing dry skin by reducing itching and irritation.

How to use: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil into a small amount of moisturizer or carrier oil. Apply this mixture to the affected areas to clean skin twice a day.

 

Itchy skin

Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, tea tree oil is great for relieving itchy skin. It soothes the skin and can also help heal infections that cause itching.

How to use: Mix 2-3 drops of tea tree oil into 10-12 drops of carrier oil and apply to the affected area 2-3 times daily.

 

Inflammation

As mentioned above, tea tree oil helps to soothe and relieve painful and irritated skin. It may also help to reduce redness and swelling.

How to use: Add 1 drop of tea tree oil to 8-10 drops of a carrier oil or moisturizer and apply it to the affected area 2-3 times per day.

 

Infections, cuts, and wound-healing

The antibacterial properties of tea tree oil result in it being very good at helping wounds to heal.

How to use: Add 1 drop of tea tree oil with a wound ointment cream and apply as directed throughout the day.

 

Acne

Tea tree oil is a great choice for treating acne because of its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It’s known to soothe redness and swelling.

How to use: You can buy a face wash, moisturizer and/or spot treatment containing tea tree oil and simply use as instructed.

 

Types of tea tree oil

Since tea tree oil varies in quality, it’s important to buy an oil that is 100-percent natural, with no additives. Buy organic tea tree oil if possible, and always buy from a reputable brand.

Conclusion

Tea tree oil should start to clear up symptoms within a few days of consistent use. It may take longer for some conditions to heal completely. You should consider continuing to use tea tree oil to prevent further recurrences.

What is exfoliation and how often should I do it?

Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. It can be done manually with a scrub or chemically with a peel. Exfoliation leaves your skin looking brighter, smoother and younger. You should exfoliate 1-2 times a week.

Exfoliation is important because it helps remove the build-up of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. This build-up can make your skin look dull and lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Exfoliating regularly will help to keep your skin looking its best.

Types of exfoliation-manual vs chemical

There are two types of exfoliation-manual and chemical.

Manual exfoliation is the most common type. It involves using a scrub or cloth to remove dead skin cells from your skin manually. Manual exfoliation can be done at home using various scrubs and cloths.

Chemical exfoliation is less common but can be more effective. It involves using a chemical peel to remove dead skin cells from your skin. Chemical peels can be done at a salon or spa.

How often should I exfoliate for best results?

Most people should exfoliate 1-2 times weekly for the best results. However, you may need to exfoliate more often if you have dry skin. Also, you may need to exfoliate once a week if you have oily skin. However, exfoliating too often can damage your skin, so be sure to follow directions on any product you use.

Best practices for exfoliating

Exfoliating can be a great way to keep your skin looking its best, but it’s essential to do it correctly. Here are some tips for getting the most out of your exfoliation routine:

  1. Be gentle. Exfoliating is meant to remove dead skin cells, not damage your skin. So be gentle when scrubbing or using a chemical peel.
  2. Don’t overdo it. Only exfoliate 1-2 times a week. Exfoliating too often can irritate your skin and cause more damage than good.
  3. Choose the right product. There are a lot of different exfoliants on the market. Choose one that is right for your skin type.
  4. Follow the directions. Be sure to follow the directions on any product you use. Exfoliating too often or using too much product can damage your skin.
  5. Moisturize afterwards. After exfoliating, moisturise your skin to help keep it hydrated.

Exfoliating can be a great way to keep your skin looking its best. By following these tips, you can get the most out of your exfoliation routine and keep your skin looking healthy and radiant.

Benefits of exfoliation

Exfoliating has several benefits for your skin. It can help to:

Products to use for exfoliation

There are a variety of different exfoliation products that you can use at home. Some of the most common are:

Scrubs

Scrubs are one of the most common types of manual exfoliants. They come in various forms, including gels, creams and oils. Scrubs typically contain small, abrasive particles that help remove dead skin cells.

Clothes

Clothes are another type of manual exfoliant. They are often made from natural fibres like cotton or linen and can be used with water or a cleanser. Cloths can be used to scrub your skin gently or to remove makeup.

Peels

Peels are a type of chemical exfoliant. They use various acids to remove dead skin cells from your skin. Peels can be done at a salon or spa.

Toners

Toners are another type of chemical exfoliant. They typically contain glycolic acid or lactic acid, which helps remove dead skin cells and improve the appearance of your skin.

Masks

Masks are an exfoliant that can be used on your face or body. They typically contain ingredients like clay or charcoal, which help absorb excess oil and remove impurities from your skin.

When choosing an exfoliation product, it’s important to choose one that is right for your skin type. For example, if you have sensitive skin, be sure to select a product that is designed for sensitive skin. If you have acne-prone skin, be sure to choose a product that is non-comedogenic and won’t clog your pores.

It’s also important to follow the directions on any product you use. Exfoliating too often or using too much product can damage your skin. If you have any concerns about using an exfoliation product, speak to a dermatologist.

Different skin types calls for different maintenance approach. Your skin is the foundation of your look, so it’s important to know what kind of skin you have so as to enable you make the correct choice when it comes to choosing the right products.

There are five main skin types: normal skin, dry skin, oily skin, combination skin and sensitive skin. Each skin type has its own set of characteristics that can help you determine which one you have. If you’re not sure what type of skin you have, don’t worry. There are a few ways to figure it out. Here are some things to look for:

  1. How does your skin feel?
  2. How does your skin look?
  3. How does your skin react to particular products or environmental factors?

Once you’ve taken a closer look at your skin, you should be able to determine which type or types of skin you have. Here’s a more detailed look at each skin type:

Normal Skin

Normal skin is well-balanced, with no extreme sensitivities or oiliness. If you have normal skin, you’re lucky! This is the easiest type of skin to take care of. Just be sure to cleanse and moisturise regularly, and use sunscreen when you’re spending time outdoors.

Dry Skin

Dry skin feels tight, rough and sometimes itchy. If you have dry skin, you might notice that your skin is flaking or that you have more wrinkles than people with other skin types. This is because dry skin doesn’t retain moisture as much as other skin types do. To help combat dryness, use a gentle cleanser and a thick moisturiser. Be sure to drink plenty of water, too.

Oily Skin

Oily skin is characterised by large pores and a shiny, greasy appearance. If you have oily skin, you might find that your makeup doesn’t stay put and that you have to wash your face more than once a day. In addition, oily skin is prone to breakouts, so it’s essential to choose products that are non-comedogenic (meaning they won’t clog your pores). Instead, opt for oil-free cleansers and moisturisers, and use blotting papers throughout the day to absorb excess oil.

Combination Skin

Combination skin is a mix of dry and oily skin, with some areas being oilier or drier than others. For example, if you have combination skin, you might find that your T-zone (the area around your forehead, nose and chin) is oily while your cheeks are dry. Use a gentle cleanser and a light moisturiser to care for combination skin. Be sure to target the oily areas with oil-absorbing products and the dry areas with products that will help them retain moisture.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is easily irritated and can be dry, oily, or combined. If you have sensitive skin, you might find that certain products make your skin red or itchy. Use a gentle cleanser and a light moisturiser to care for sensitive skin. Be sure to choose products that are hypoallergenic and free of fragrances, dyes and other potential irritants.

Conclusion

Now that you know more about the different skin types, you can start finding products that work best for you. Remember to cleanse, moisturise, and wear sunscreen every day, no matter what skin you have. And if you’re ever unsure about a product, it’s always best to consult with a dermatologist. They can help you determine what will work best for your specific skin type.
