How To Improve Ashy Skin
If there is one annoying thing about the Dry season apart from the dust flying around, is having to worry about your dry skin more. I guess the same applies to almost all skin types, you just need to put in some extra care to prevent dehydration. Dehydrated skin is the fastest route to wrinkling.
One of the physical symptoms of dehydrated skin is this grey or white colouring that really shows up on your dark skin, dulling up that shine hidden beneath.
This grey or white colouring is referred to as Ashy skin. This phrase is another way to describe how dry skin looks on people with darker skin tones. Ashy Skin would have your skin feeling rough or bumpy to touch with thin, cracked lines especially on the knees and elbows. It might also be cracked, bleeding, flaking or peeling.
Apart from the weather, another cause of ashy skin could be hot showers or skin care products that contain harsh chemicals.
At Reine Africaine, we believe audacious black is beautiful and nothing should keep that black from shining. Here's how we say bye-bye ashy skin.
