This is my first Melanin Moments of 2026. Before we go any deeper, I want to start by wishing you a radiant new year filled with happiness, blessings, growth and above all health. For you, for your skin and for everything you want to build with intention this year.

For me, 2026 does not feel like a rushed reset. It feels like a deepening.
More calm. More clarity. And above all, more space to pause and truly listen to what our skin is telling us.

With the new year begins a new Melanin Moments series. A series in which I look beyond trends, quick fixes and surface level advice. We return to the foundation. Understanding, respecting and supporting melanin rich skin. Guided by knowledge, experience and nuance.

Melanin Moments remains a space for reflection and education. For insights that help you stop fighting your skin and start reading it. And for conversations that are still too rarely held in the beauty world.

This year, I am taking you along once again. Calmly. Thoughtfully. With care.
Because true skin health requires time, understanding and trust.

And now, I am curious about you.
What would you like to understand better this year about melanin rich skin? Or are there topics around our products or routines you would like to explore more deeply? Let me know in the comments. Your questions often mark the beginning of a new Melanin Moment.

Start 2026 with Knowledge

If you truly want to understand what your melanin rich skin needs this year, my 30 Day Melanin Guide will guide you step by step through the anatomy and behavior of melanin rich skin. You will learn why certain skin reactions occur, what your skin is trying to communicate and how to respond in a calm, skin friendly way.

You will receive my online guide free with the purchase of any Melplexion® product during the month of January. A deeper starting point for a more conscious, stronger and calmer skin year.

What to Expect in the Coming Weeks

Winter is making itself felt, not only in temperature but also in our skin. In the upcoming Melanin Moments, I will explore what cold, wind and seasonal change do to melanin rich skin. Why the skin feels different, reacts more quickly and sometimes looks more unsettled, even when your routine has remained the same.

We will talk about skin stress, barrier disruption and pigment reactions in winter. Not to correct or force change, but to understand what the skin needs during this period and what it is sometimes better to pause.

Think of it as a calm winter series.
With explanation, context and practical guidance to support your skin with greater confidence.

Keep learning, keep glowing. Until the next Melanin Moment 💛
With love,
Angela
