Dark spots, blemishes and discolorations and skin of color.
Dark spots, blemishes and discolorations are particularly troublesome in skin of color because they can be unsightly and cause self-conciousness, especially on more noticable and vunerable areas such as the face and neck. Once a pimple or damaged skin heals, a dark mark or blemish is often left behind. Dark marks appear in skin of color because melanocytes, the pigment cells that color the skin, become very active in areas where skin is irritated and began to build up. The result is a blemish that may never go away.
There are some very easy steps that those with darker skin tones can take to help prevent, and clear, dark spots and blemishes.
-Remember to always wear sunprotection with an SPF of 20 to 30. Remember to apply it every two hours while outside, because the sun causes melanin to build up in the skin, resulting in darker areas on the skin.
-If you are going to use a skin lightening cream, remember to only apply it to dark spots. Do not use any creams that contain more than 2% skin lightening ingredients (usually hydroquinone). Applying more can be dangerous to the skin, as it has been tested and shows signs of causing cancer after prolonged usage.
-Find a healthy skin care regimine and stick to it. Remember to protect yourself from the sun and treat blemishes and injuries to the skin immediately. Do not pick at any marks, bumps or scabs on the skin and do not allow clothing or other irritating materials to rub against sensitive skin. Keep hair and hats out of the face to prevent them from rubbing against delicate facial skin.
Remember to always treat your skin gently and kindly, and to be patient with it. Although a blemish can appear quickly and take what seems like forever to go away, you can greatly decrease the appearance of blemishes on the skin with a little TLC before they come.

Vitamin D: ethnic skin and the elderly.
It has been suggested that the elderly, those with darker skin and ethnic skin types supplement their diets with Vitamin D, especially during the colder months as the sun's helpful rays are no longer directly beaming down on the skin. Because African-American skin (and elderly skin) produces Vitamin D in much smaller quantities than Caucasian skin in the winter and summer months, it is imperative for supplements during these times. Vitamin D, when given in sufficient amounts, decreases bone loss, fractures and the Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) in the blood, which is a cause of bone loss. Please click here to learn more: http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/80/6/1763S
Vitamin D cannot be created artificially, so it must be found through natural means. Our Winter 08 Line includes Shunammite Woman (NOT to be confused with Shulammite Woman of our Fall collection!) Body Butter, which is created from 100% organic and unrefined avocado oil, and Queen of Persia (not to be confused with Queen of Sheba from the Fall Collection) Sugar scrub, which is made from avocado oil as well. Avocado oil is an excellent source of Vitamin D and one of the few plant oils that offer such a great source. And because our oils are not chemically treated or changed, they retain their full benefit as sources of many Vitamins, including A, B1, B2 and E. Avocado oil softens the skin as it absorbs and aids it in cell regeneration, which is excellent for those with mature skin and those who must constantly face the elements in harsh winter and summer conditions.
And as always, about 60% of what is put on the skin absorbs into the body, so the Vitamin D in these products will directly benefit the bodies of those who use it!

We've changed the Genesis Ethnic Body Care design!
We've gone on to change the Genesis Ethnic Body Care logo to a smoother calligraphy style font from a more choppy looking sans font. The reasoning for this was multi--the calligraphic font is easier to print on labels and it's also easier to find similar fonts on our basic web design programming. It also has a bit of a more elegant look, with smoother lines and darker coloring. Our labels have proven to be more pleasing to the eye and easier to read as well with the calligraphic font and we think you'll agree.
Our colors have also changed--from black, green and white to brown, green and cream. It provides a more relaxing look for our products--and relaxation is what we are aiming for!
We hope that these changes to the look of Genesis Ethnic Body Care are enjoyed by all of our customers.
