Having learnt that our ancestors paved the way for naturally selecting the right types of medicinal plants and shrubs to relieve many types of skin blemishes acquired through the specialized knowledge of farming, it is not surprising to know that these African Black Soap & Camwood Powder are in their most unrefined forms- pure & natural! Before the advent of the chemically manufactured skincare products, the human skin had been thouroughly nurtured naturally without products with carcinogens.
In otherwords, the Unrefined African Black Soap and the Camwood Powder are perfect for all skin types. While mixing both to make a body wash, other natural skincare products which may be added would depend on the skin type that the mixture is to be used on. Good thing about these powders is that you can easily make your own bodywash or natural soap mixture and have a full knowledge of what is going directly on your skin unlike the chemically manufatured black soap.
Unrefined African Black Soap & Camwood Powder.
Oily Skin: Oily skin is something we are born with, therefore recognizing and knowing how the oil may be controlled would help the skin breathe easily without clogging the pores.
While selecting the natural skincare products to add to the African Black Soap & Camwood Powder, avoid harsh, drying ingredients which could trigger more oil formation in the long run. Not choosing the right natural product could aggravate skin, thereby causing a chain reaction would make oily skin worse, possibly triggering breakouts.
On no account should any form of alcohol be added to the African Black Soap & Camwood Powder. Turmeric, Aloe vera gel, Natural honey & Citrus rind powder (Orange/Tangarine/Grapefruit) are good natural skincare products to add. Few drops of Coconut oil or Almond oil can be added to moisturize the skin while bathing. If the soap mixture must be scented, avoid adding synthetic fragrances. Lavender essential oil, Peppermint oil or Eucalyptus oil are great naturally scented oils that can be added.
Water which is a natural solvent is needed to dissolve and mix up all the natural skincare ingredients whether to be used as a soap mixture or a bosy wash.
Gently wash the skin and pat dry. Moisturize afterwards with natural oils and creams.
Dry Skin: We could also be born with dry skin but could develop dry skin from time to time depending on the weather, food we consume etc. Also having a dry skin doesn’t mean there still wouldn’t be some oily parts on the skin. Asides from recognizing the food that could cause dryness to the skin, it is also important to understand the natural skincare products that should be added to the African Black Soap and the Camwood Powder mix. Turmeric, Aloe vera gel and Natural honey are good enough to add to the soap mixture. Citrus rind powder could cause irritation to a dry skin, so are essential oils containing menthol, mint and eucalyptus. Few drops Coconut oil or Almond oil can be added to the soap mixture to moisturize the dry skin. If the soap mixture must be scented, natural essential oil to use would be Lavender essential oil because it is gentle on the skin and wouldn’t make the skin tingle unlike the menthol, mint and eucalyptus which could upset the skin and cause further dryness.
It is best not to prolong bathing. Pat the skin dry and apply natural shea butter; either whipped or unwhipped. Natural shea butter offers great relief for dry skin.
Normal Skin: This has a good balance of moisture and small pores.
