Black Skin Directory, a service that aims to better facilitate the connection of women of colour to skincare professionals, has announced its launch. Created by aesthetician Dija Ayodele, Black Skin Directory is a free consumer-focused platform that enables women (and men) to find dermatologists, aestheticians and other skincare professionals who are specifically qualified and experienced in treating and working with the unique physiology of darker skin tones.

Alongside this BSD will also feature educational tips that better verse women of colour in understanding their skin and will host regular events for individuals to attend to learn in person about skin and the treatments and brands that are available to them.
