Skin Care: Black Soap

Hey guys ! I thought it would be cool if I shared some skin care products I have used. Keep in mind though: I am by no means a new skin expert! But naturally oily skin is something I deal with on a daily basis which can lead to clogged pores and more acne flare-ups.  Because of this I definitely don't like using many products on my skin, especially harsh products due to my skin being sensitive as well.  However what I have been using as for the past month or so continuously is black soap products also known as African Black soap.   

Wal-mart $3.74

African Black soap is a made up of a combination of cocoa powder, palm tree leaves, tree bark, and other harvested plants. It is good for deep cleansing your skin and helps not to strip away your natural moisture. Other great benefits include: relieves acne, clears bumps and other spots when using daily, helps with oily skin, works on most rough and dry skin types, and is a great remover for makeup. 

Black Soap can be purchased from stores such as Wal-Mart, Wal-greens or even your local discount store. And can be in either the form of a bar or liquid depending on your preference. Also note that not all black soap fragrances are the most appealing right off hand, so keep that in mind when making your selection.

Whole Foods $12.95 - 16.oz.

The pure and most organic brands of black soap I have used is Alaffia from Whole Foods. It  comes in different scents (I got tangerine citrus!).  It had such a great smell and left me with such a clean feeling. And like many other black soaps can be used on your face, body, and hair as shampoo !
