The ultimate skincare guide for Black women

Dija Ayodele takes you through the lifetime of skin, sharing transformative essentials from how to work out your skintype to the dos and donโ€™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 โ€˜Black donโ€™t crack?โ€™
Intelligent, informed and indispensable, this is the guide that every Black woman has been waiting for.

Dija Ayodele is a fully qualified and insured Aesthetician and the founder of West Room Aesthetics, a skincare suite for women of colour. She is also the founder of the Black Skin Directory, which connects people of colour to skincare brands and experts. With over a ten years experience in the aesthetics industry covering everything from nails to advanced skincare. Dija has great connections with Superdrug, Glamour, Psychologies, Refinery29 among others. Her Glamour event Black Skin Decoded was really well attended, and sheโ€™s started running Saturday Skincare Brunch nโ€™ Learns through West Room Aesthetics which have about 150 attendees per event.
