Dry Skin Was Wrecking My Glow—Until I Did This One Thing Differently

Dry Skin Was Wrecking My Glow—Until I Did This One Thing Differently

You’ve been using lotion your whole life — but your skin still stays dry, itchy, and dull. Sound familiar? It’s not you. It’s the products. Most mainstream brands aren’t made for melanin-rich skin or our deeper hydration needs.
Let me show you the switch I made and how it changed everything... 

You Don’t Have “Bad Skin.” You Have Products That Weren’t Made for You.

Here’s the truth: Black women are constantly told we just need to “moisturize better.” But we’re using thin, watered-down lotions full of alcohol, petroleum, and artificial fragrance — and then wondering why our skin still flakes, cracks, or looks dull an hour later.

Our skin isn’t just dry — it needs deep nourishment. And once I stopped chasing drugstore promises and started using real ingredients like sweet potato and goat’s milk, my skin responded like it had been waiting on this moment all its life.


Why Sweet Potato? Because Your Skin Eats, Too.

Sweet potatoes are loaded with beta-carotene, vitamin C, and natural sugars that help hydrate, protect, and soften the skin.

  • Beta-carotene supports skin renewal and glow

  • Natural sugars attract moisture like a humectant

  • Vitamin C brightens and evens skin tone

When I use my Nubian Queen Body Butter, I know I’m feeding my skin something real. It’s thick, rich, and melts in without sitting on top like cheap lotion. And the best part? The glow lasts all day.


Why Goat’s Milk? Because Ashy Skin Isn’t Just Dry — It’s Unbalanced.

Most soaps strip the skin and throw off our pH, leaving us dry, itchy, and irritated.

But goat’s milk is different. It’s creamy, full of fatty acids, lactic acid, and vitamins, and helps:

  • Hydrate while cleansing

  • Gently exfoliate dead skin

  • Soothe irritation and eczema

My Yam Soap is made with goat’s milk and real sweet potato puree. It doesn’t leave your skin tight — it leaves it soft, clean, and ready to absorb moisture.


The Switch That Changed My Skin (and My Confidence)

Keisha, after using my yam soap and body butter for just one week, I noticed:

  • No more white patches mid-day

  • Skin that felt soft even hours after applying

  • A glow that made me feel good stepping out bare-faced or with short sleeves

This isn’t just skincare. It’s self-respect in a jar. It’s reclaiming softness. It’s saying: “My skin deserves more.”
