There is only one thing that concerns me about this advice, and I feel compelled to post it. I've read many times that women of color should avoid salicylic acid, as it will be a problem due to the pigment in their skin. Said another way, it can leave you with something that looks like hyperpigmentation, instead of the nice, even toned landscape. I would seriously hate for this to happen to the AA women out there. Please, at the very least, research this for yourself and then make a decision as to whether or not you should use a product with BHA in it.

GREAT POST!! surprised this is my first time reading it...hmpf

Well my derm gave me salicylic acid and its ok ...it helped with the breakouts but..it didn't help the dark spots that came oabout from using something else.. i still have to use my hydroquinone...which incidentally

sometimes makes my dark spots more prominent rather than fading them...:bawling:

Right now i'm looking for a doctor who really understand my skin rather than giving me strong products that are making my skin peel, dry and hurt...

finding a derm is half the battle

Great info - I never knew some of those things before!!

It's a shame most of the products recommended are tested on animals...

Thanks for the post. At least now I know that part of my dry skin is due to being fair and not because I don't drink enough water. I'm up to 12 glasses a day! I slather on moisturizer too day and night. Hopefully it will help keep the wrinkles away a bit longer.

Great post! Thanks for the info... I'm very fair skinned and 44... Perfect time for starting to get wrinkles if I don't start taking better care of my face I guess. I've always had great skin without much of a cleansing or makeup routine, but the article reminds me the importance of diligent skin care.

I love my skin, and I have my dad to thank for that. I look at pictures of him when he's 30 compared to how he looks now (70), and there's virtually NO change, just a bit more weight and a few age spots. Through a combination of genetics and my skincare regime, I hope to win the wrinkle battle!
