In this article, we would uncover the giant strides black women have been taking in this fight and the effect of long-term use of AHA and its negative impact. Let’s get started.

The South Bronx indigene also carried out other projects targeted at environmental sustainability by creating a food community market and informing residents of air quality.

We know the Minneapolis based environmental activist for her dedication to fighting for good, organic and nutritious foods in her community.
She led the advocacy for turning empty city lots into farmlands and to replace unhealthy junk snack with salad bar at the Chicago Public School. We owe all the things she did and is still doing to her unending drive to contribute her quota towards saving the planet through healthy food, clean air and water.
Other black women worthy of mention are Wangari Maathai and Marjorie Richard.
Effect of long-term use of AHA
AHA an acronym for alpha hydroxy acid, is commonly known to renew, brighten and firm up the skin. What AHA does is to prompt the skin ability to renews its cell at a fast rate by disbanding the bond between oil and dead cells in the skin. Therefore, AHA can treat skin concerns such as acne, protect the skin against further age spots, reduce signs of aging and much more.
Although AHA is effective and it’s result instant, the long term effect that comes with AHA is in prolonged usage. Continuous usage can cause discoloration of skin, hyperpigmentation especially in skin with more melanin, and other skin disorder. This is why Ekhambee developed a natural prevention for middle-aged African American to remove the appearance of dull skin, blemishes, hide and prevent age spots, etc without AHAs.
