Do colored people use skin cream every day?

I heard that they have to do that so their skin doesn't get ashy. I also hear Robin Quivers mention it on the Howard Stern show. I live in an all white community and to be honest, have only seen a handful of colored people in person.





I'm just curious.

Do colored people use skin cream every day?
"Ashy" is a term used to describe extremely dry skin, however when skin is this dry it shows up as a light blotch on people with dark skin. Lotions or skins creams (which are thicker with heavier moisturizers) help moisten the skin to offset this.





Everyone gets dry skin, but a light blotch on fair skin just doesn't show up (light on light). However, I've seen this on those with extremely red irritated skin.





Basically, you're just using lotions (or creams) to keep the skin from drying out and this is the goal of many beauty products on the market today.





I hope this helped.

Some BLACK or AFRO-AMERICANS have dry skin, same as every other color people.


We are all 'colored' people: I haven't seen any translucent ones lately.

Yes, dark skinned people lose their "contrast" when they have dry skin. Just like people with tattoos (ink drawings in the skin, which I presume you haven't seen either), applying oil to the skin makes it more transparent and allows the color of the ink to show through, except in colored people's case, it allows the color of their pigment (brown, red, amber) to show through better.
