In line with the release of her new hair product range, christened ‘Cécred’, the acclaimed singer Beyoncé took an unprecedented step to share details about her life beyond the stage. A feature in Essence magazine provided the platform where she discussed her new product line and simultaneously revealed an intensely personal detail about her life. The singer confessed that she has been battling psoriasis, an autoimmune skin disorder that manifests itself in the form of rashes, itching, spots, and scales. “My hair and my memories associated with it form an integral part of my personal journey,” the singer stated, and further elaborated, “From countless hours spent in my mother’s hair salon during my childhood to the precious moments of my father treating my psoriasis using oil on my scalp, these are the experiences that hold sanctity for me.”
Over the years, Beyoncé has maintained a policy of strict reticence when it comes to interactions with the media, preferring to express her innermost thoughts and feelings through her music. However, this raw and revealing interview arrives on the heels of her Super Bowl advertisement that created quite a buzz. Subsequently, she announced her upcoming country album, slated for release towards the end of next month.
Beyoncé is not alone in her decision to speak openly about her struggle with psoriasis. As many might recall, reality TV star Kim Kardashian has also made no secret of her own battle with the skin condition, regularly sharing updates on her Instagram account for her multitude of followers. Just last month, she depicted a worsening of her skin condition and provided an insight into the challenging fight against the disease.
