Throwback Black Beauty Hacks That Had Us In A Chokehold Growing Up

Black Beauty Hacks

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Growing up in a Black family, you might remember some classic beauty hacks that our mothers, grandmothers, and aunts swore by. These traditions have been passed down for generations in many Black households, becoming a significant part of our upbringing.

One popular skin care routine was using shea butter for moisturizing. If you lived near a hair supply store, you probably also remember the Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Lotion. Known for its large bottles that seemed to last forever, this lotion was a staple despite its thin texture, which often struggled against dry skin.

Another small trick we learned from our matriarchs was the homemade beauty mark. A subtle dot, usually placed above the top lip, added a touch of flair to any makeup look. With a resurgence in nostalgia, this trend has quietly made a comeback.

Whether it was your grandmother using Vaseline to prevent wrinkles or your mother applying apple cider vinegar to your scalp on wash day, these beauty hacks were our first introduction to self-care routines and their importance.
