Born Beautiful The African American Teenager's Complete Beauty Guide
Being a teenager is tough enough, but being an African American teenager comes with its own set of challenges. One of those challenges is finding the right beauty products and routines that work for your hair and skin. That's where "Born Beautiful: The African American Teenager's Complete Beauty Guide" comes in.
What is "Born Beautiful"?
"Born Beautiful" is a beauty guide specifically designed for African American teenagers. It was written by Alfred Fornay, a beauty expert and former model who has worked with celebrities like Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell. The book covers everything from skincare to makeup to hair care.
The book is divided into sections, each focusing on a different aspect of beauty. The skincare section, for example, covers topics like acne, hyperpigmentation, and dark circles. The makeup section covers everything from foundation to lipstick, and includes tips for choosing the right shades for your skin tone.
The hair care section is particularly comprehensive, covering topics like natural hair care, relaxers, weaves, and braids. The book also includes a section on nail care, which covers everything from choosing the right nail polish to preventing nail damage.
Why is "Born Beautiful" important?
One of the reasons "Born Beautiful" is so important is because it fills a gap in the beauty industry. Many beauty products and routines are designed with non-African American people in mind, which can make it difficult for African American teenagers to find products that work for them.
"Born Beautiful" also addresses issues that are specific to African American teenagers. For example, the book includes a section on dealing with racism and colorism in the beauty industry. It also includes tips for dealing with hair discrimination in schools and workplaces.
Another reason "Born Beautiful" is important is because it promotes self-love and self-acceptance. The book encourages readers to embrace their natural hair and skin, and to celebrate their unique beauty. This is an important message for African American teenagers, who may feel pressure to conform to mainstream beauty standards.
