5 Benefits Of Using African Black Soap

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Valdosta chapter.

Here’s a few reasons why African Black Soap should be added to your skin care regimen! 

1. Great Ingredients

First and foremost, the key to a great product is its ingredients! African Black Soap is full of key ingredients that promote healthy skin: Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Powder, Plaintain Skins/Leaves, and of course Shea Butter which provides the neccesary vitamins and minerals that keep the skin looking young, fresh and healthy!

 

2. Fades Skin Discolorations

Black soap helps even out and fade dark spots and discolorations. Although it does not erase these spots completely, it does help make them lighter and less noticeable. This can be great for those with body acne/discoloration as well.

3. Helps Heal Problem Skin 

Because black soap is a deep cleanser with antibacterial and antifungal properties, it penetrates through the skin easily. This helps to prevent future breakouts from occuring since it is removing excess oil that builds up and causes breakouts in the first place. Most people with acne, Eczema, or Psoriasis use this soap to help treat their skin problems as well. 

4. Improves Skin Tone

Black soap firms and tones skin, as well as improves skin texture which provides supple, healthier skin.

 

5. Eliminates Razor Bumps and Ingrown Hair

If you use a bar of black soap and break it in half, you will be able to feel the graniness of it. The exfoliation of the bar helps deal with awful razor bumps and in grown hairs you may face after shaving or getting waxed. Some face/body exfoliators may be too harsh or strong for sensitive bikini areas, unlike those, black soap is more gentle. This could be great for ladies now that spring and summer months are coming up! 

HCXO!
