Affordable beauty products for african american skin?

I am 26. African American. I want to start taking serious care of my skin as to put off as long as possible wrinkles and and other skin problems that may come with age. What products are good for my age and skin. I shop at Meijers alot (or ebay), and would like something that could be brought there or that is just affordable. I still deal with acne and acne scarring also. What would also be a good vitamin (or viatmins) to take? Any that would also promote healthy hair and nails, etc? Is there anything else I should be doing to preserve and maintain my health and beauty at this age?

Hello!
Vitamin A and vitamin E are good for nails and skin. While Vitamin B and D are excellent for nails and hair.
Anything with shea butter, oatmeal and cocoa butter that helps with wrinkles.
Makari has a deep cleansing lotion for greasy skins with a tendency to spot formation. Its superior combination ensures cleansing action, pore dilation, decreased proliferation of "acne bacteria".
Makari has also a caviar face lightening cream revitalizes and restores major skin functions and prevents the appearance of premature expression lines (such as wrinkles). Your facial skin will soon appear visibly lighter, finer and firmer.
I can give you the introductory price of $70 for these two items and you get free samples of Makari Beauty Whitening Milk, Makari Night Whitening Cream and Makari Whitening Serum.
Other options would be to buy a cleanser to clean the skin, a toner to redefine the skin and a lotion to moisturize the skin. The following brands are available on the market : Aromesential skin care Alpha-Hydroxy cleanser, toner and lotion for $4.99 each;
Bio-Glow exfoliationg face scrub, rejuvenate moisture cream for $5.49 each;
If you want Vitamin treatments, you can choose :
Queen Helene pure vitamin E oil 1oz for $9.99;
Queen Helene Vitamin E hand and body lotion 16oz for $3.99;
Queen Helene Shea Butter solid concentrated 6oz for $5.99.
Email me back if you interested in any of those products above. I’ll be happy to assist you.
Mary Kay products DO NOT work well. There is an incompability issue with African American skin, especially with darken skin tones. It will burn and/or strip off your skin. It will leave scars. You can be in pain. It’s like if you put bleach on your skin, even worse…

What are we really saying when we say beauty is skin deep?

And at the same token looks don’t matter if you really love a person. I have yet to find many people who say these things who would really consider going out with an "ugly" person or someone thought to be less attractive.

They’re just saying the person is nice but they are ugly. They’d be friends but wouldn’t date them.

What are your favourite beauty/skin/hair/whatever products and why?

Mine:
St. Ives Apricot Scrub ’cause it takes all of the dry skin off of my face and makes it really smooth.
Spectro Gel facial cleanser because it is gentle and makes my skin soft.

Sheer Cover (from TV) definitely for make-up. Have never seen or used anything like it before. It’s great! Nivea Q10 for facial day & night cream for over 8 years now. Used Inner Science for years for hair but can’t get it here anymore, so am still searching. So far have been using Marc Anthony Shampoo & Conditioner and do like it alot.
