*Earlier this week, when a woman named Michele Manteaw posted two selfies to Reddit’s r/MakeupAddiction, in a post titled “Glowy Winter Makeup on Dark Skin,” she was immediately flooded with comments from inquiring minds wanting to know how she maintains her flawless skin.
“OP has the softest looking skin ever,” reads one comment, while another writes, “You look super pretty and glowy.”
Cosmopolitan magazine reached out to Manteaw to ask about her “glow” regiment and she broke down her routine for the publication… get into it below.
“As a black woman, my pubescent acne left me with terrible hyperpigmentation that followed me into my adult years,” she tells Cosmopolitan, noting that the two products that helped clear her dark marks were vitamin C and African black soap.

“The Body Shop’s Vitamin C Microdermabrasion is a godsend, but be easy with it; it’s quite an abrasive product, so I only used it twice a week,” says Manteaw. “African Black Soap from my motherland—Ghana!—is also amazing for fading scars and cleansing skin; just make sure to top it with a good moisturizer afterwards.”
Manteaw also admits that cutting dairy also helped curb breakouts and keep her skin clear. “It was life-changing,” she says, “and my skin has never thanked me more.”
One Redditor commented that being a “melanated Queen,” is the #1 reason why her skin is so yummy, but Manteaw wants folks to know what she also follows a specific routine to maintain her glow, including a cleansing brush, serum, chemical exfoliant, and sunscreen. Not to mention she has a 17-product makeup routine, which only add to her smooth, radiating skin, the report states.
