African black soap is a traditional cleanser loved for clearing the look of blemishes and dark marks. A few simple habits help you get the most from it.
Step by step
- Wet your hands and face with lukewarm water.
- Lather a small amount of soap between your hands.
- Massage gently onto damp skin for 30 seconds. Avoid the eye area.
- Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
- Follow with a moisturiser or a few drops of oil.
Good to know
- Start with once a day and build up as your skin allows.
- Keep the soap dry between uses so it lasts longer.
- Always patch-test a new product on a small area first.
Be patient: steady, gentle care gives better results than doing too much too fast.
