Shea Moisture: Even & Radiant with Raw Honey Skincare

Yes, even in my mid-50s, I still experience the occasional hormonal break out. And thanks to the current state of the world and mask-acne, I have been experiencing even more break outs. So, obviously, as a WOC, I have been in a constant battle with trying to maintain even skin tone and minimizing hyperpigmentation. You can imagine my excitement when I was offered the opportunity to try SheaMoisture's newest skincare line-Even & Radiant. This line is "made for melanin-rich skin, for a radiant, more even complexion, the Even & Radiant collection is blended with natural Raw Honey and Charcoal to help visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots and post-acne spots while helping to restore skin’s natural tone."

The Even & Radiant Collection includes the following five products:

• 3-in-1 Melting Cleansing Balm ($11.99) – This 3-in-1 multi-tasking cleanser removes oil and impurities, instantly melts away makeup, and moisturizes to leave skin feeling refreshed, soft and nourished. I will be incorporating this balm into my double cleansing routine.

        Dr. Onyeka Obioha, Board Certified Medical & Cosmetic Dermatologist:

"People with melanin-rich skin are more prone to hyperpigmentation and SheaMoisture’s Even & Radiant collection was designed to address this concern. The products help to visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots and post-acne spots, while also helping to restore skin’s natural tone. The products have helped me achieve that even skin tone and radiance, and leave my skin feeling smooth, nourished, and hydrated."

"Gentle cleansing is critical to remove impurities and is an essential step in your skincare routine. SheaMoisture Even & Radiant 3-in-1 Melting Cleansing Balm effectively purifies and removes any excess oils and dirt without leaving the skin dry. For oily skin, I recommend starting with the cleansing balm, followed by a second cleanse using a foam or gel-based cleanser."
