I heard some great things about black.soap and I decided to try it on my fave and back and chest (have a lot of acne and acne scars on my back!). I bought AAAshea butter black soap from whole foods.
I tried it morning and night for the past 2 days but I think it might be making my acne worse?
It's very drying so I used it with argan oil.
On my face it eemed to cause more white heads and redness. On my back and chest I seemed to get more red pimples and it just irritated my already existing red pimples., Today I also noticed it caused my nipples to be very painful.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this part of the purging or does black soap not work for my skin?
I really need to clear my skin in 6 Weeks for a wedding! Anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks in advance!
it also caused my back to very itchy? is this reaction normal?
I do not know about that brand of black soap. I get mine from Amazon, the raw natural stuff. Have you used the Argan oil in the past without breaking out? Every time I put that stuff on my face, I break out like instantly, unfortunately. Black soap is a bit drying at first. It takes a couple weeks for your skin to get used to it, which would cause the itching from the dryness. Dryness is not a bad thing to active acne.
