African Black Soap (acne)

If like me you never had acne as a teenager but now as an adult it seems like a week doesn't go by without a new breakout, you are not alone....there's thousands of us out there. I've used over the counter products, been prescribed creams from my doctor, and yes these creams have worked but not for long... for me anyway.

I've been hearing a lot about African black soap via the YouTube world, but it didn't really appeal to me until I went to an event and I met the lovely lady and founder of "Gidore" (a natural online product store ) "Lukwesa Burak" I was telling her about my skin and she recommended the soap, she also said it is one of there best selling products online...so you know I just had to buy not one but two, and I am glad I did.

How I use the soap

As I love wearing make up, I have a very strict night time routine, I will go into details about this, in my post called "how I use facial wipes" so look out for that one, anyway, so, what I do is after I take off my makeup, I make sure my face is damp, then lather the soap in my hands and start washing my face in a circular motion, if I wanted to exfoliate ( as this soap contains oats) I would apply the soap directly to my face, being as gentle as possible...

 Above is the soap new and un-used

The soap used, (and abused errhmmm lol!) as you can see the oats are more apparent.

My Verdict 

I am in lust with this soap, my weekly breakouts have stopped, yes, I do get the odd spot every now and again, but its nothing to cry about ...all the hype I heard about this stuff is true, well, it works for me, and I will always have this in my bathroom..

"This soap is certified organic"    "Cruelty free"
