Dirty Beauty Black Soap

In the picture above, you can see the samples I've gotten from Dirty Beauty. I've already posted about their Natural Deodorant, which is shown in the photo too. Now, I want to talk about the awesome Black Soap! It comes with a skin brush, which explains why you see a brush over there on the right in this picture. The other little round container is a sample of the Oatmeal Face Scrub -- I'll talk about it soon.

Here the description of the Black Soap and Skin Brush from Dirty Beauty:

"The key ingredient in our face wash system for oily skin is Black Soap.  Black Soap is made in small villages in Africa and the recipe remains a secret.  You will see results right away and it is safe for sensitive skin.  Natural glycerin is a main ingredient in black soap.  This ingredient attracts and holds moisture to keep your skin hydrated. "

In this picture (above) you can see the little container of Dirty Beauty's Black Soap. 

Instructions:

Wet face brush and swirl it into the little container of Black Soap. Apply to skin by using long, gentle strokes, avoiding the eye area. Rinse well with cool water. 

Keep the lid off the black soap to let it dry and make sure to wash the brush.

Dirty Beauty says that this Black Soap really stings if it gets in your eyes, so take caution! I've avoiding getting it in mine. 

As you see, I have a tiny sample of the Black Soap, but the full sized product is a 1.7 ounce jar, and of course the awesome skin brush.

As you may know, Black Soap is also called "Black African Soap," and is made from the ashes of locally harvested plants and bark such as cocoa pods, plantain, shea bark and palm tree leaves. Of course the process is much more than just this as the leaves of these plants are dried and a lot more goes into the process, but this is the gist of it. I know a lot of times oils like shea butter are added to Black Soap.

Dirty Beauty's Black Soap is made with roasted cocoa pods and palm kernel oil.

 The ash of these plants have great benefits for skin, which is why Black Soap is so positively talked about.

What it Does:

Black Soap is known for its skin healing abilities, and they are mighty! It is used to heal acne, scars, eczema and it's used to help with wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots and blemishes. Although Dirty Beauty's Black soap is intended for use on the face, Black Soap is often used all over the body, including the scalp for treatment of dry skin, rashes and other irritations. I can see why people want to use it all over! I'd be using it all over too, seeing what it's done for my face in just the two uses I've had it for. It really dried out some acne spots I had and left my skin feeling amazing! It was well exfoliated and I didn't experience any dried out skin.

And the face brush! I love the face brush. It's gentle, so the bristles don't feel extremely abrasive on my skin. It feels great and I get a tingly sensation from the Black soap, so it feels like it's really doing nice things for my skin. It feels like it's cleaning deep into my pores and the lovely glow, clear complexion it left me with was amazing!
