Snakeskin Root

Description

A root that resembles the shed skin of a desert viper found buried under the desert sands. While the taste is unpleasant, it has a rather terrifying, but ultimately harmless side effect of rapidly increasing the regeneration rate of one’s skin. In practice, this causes the consumer to shed their own skin in tiny sand-like grains. While this certainly looks worrisome, the result is actually like a rejuvenating spa treatment that removes dead skin and in fact recently, nobles have taken to a trend of buying these roots in large amounts to add to their foppish beauty regimes.

Effect. As an action, you may eat this herb. For the next hour, your skin constantly flakes off, leaving a sand-like trail behind yourself, but you suffer no ill effects. At the end of this hour, your skin becomes extremely smooth as if you had exfoliated your entire body.
