‘A myth-busting tour of all things Black skin.’ ELLE magazine

Dija Ayodele takes you through the lifetime of skin, sharing transformative essentials from how to work out your skin type to the dos and don’ts for your everyday routine. She explains the best ingredients for your skin and your budget, and the issues that Black women face: hyperpigmentation, general skin discolouration and increased dryness.

Dija examines the concept of identity, looking at the way history has shaped how Black women express themselves in beauty and skincare, and debunks common myths and misconceptions: do darker skin tones need SPF? And is there any truth to the saying ‘Black don’t crack?’

Intelligent, informed and indispensable, this is the guide that every Black woman has been waiting for.

Title: Black God Science
Review: Black skin is God’s gift to humanity, and primary reason humanity exist. Without melanin, humanity would not have made it out of Africa. WeBlack People should be reminded every time they see black skin, that it is part of the story of humanity, and the Creator wanted our skin to be black. Our skin is part of the Black God Science, since we were created in God’s image.This book provides valuable information about taking care of our gift from the Creator and how skin is a part of our temple and is an incredible organ, so we need to take care of it.
