Skin tips for darker skin + why sunscreen isn’t just about avoiding cancer, with Aesthetician Dija Ayodele

It’s part 2 of my chat with London-based Dija. She’s so well-known in the British beauty community, but what I love about her is that she never rests on her laurels; instead she’s all about constantly expanding and refining her skincare knowledge. Not only has Dija recently opened a new boutique skincare space, Westroom Aesthetics in Maida Vale, she’s also the founder of the Black Skin Directory, an online resource for men and women looking for a skincare professional or dermatologist experienced in caring for darker skin.

Over on YouTube you can see the full conversation - and Dija's moves - now. Link below.
