Before the Skin Care Regimen

After the Skin Care Regimen

Here is what you will need:
• Black Soap
• Aloe Vera Gel
• Moisturizer
• Eye cream – Optional
• H20

We both prefer using organic/natural products on our skin.  We believe it often provides the best results with minimal to no damage to the skin unlike many cosmetic lines on the market.

Cleanse:

Step 1:  We first wash our face with back soap.  Once we finish washing our face, we gently pat our face dry.

Benefits:  “Black soap has a long history of helping to treat eczema, freckles, dark spots, and fine lines. Among it's list of uses black soap is one of the best acne products on the market. Being a gentle soap, it won't irritate sensitive skin, also making it a good option for babies or the elderly. Black soap's deep cleansing properties are great for clearing up oily skin stopping acne from forming. Shea butter and other botanicals will help dry out and heal current blemishes leaving your skin radiant in no time.” (Source: http://africaimports.com/black_soap_article.asp)

Heal:

Step 2:  Then we take a dab of aloe vera gel and gently rub the gel into our skin. When applied to the skin, aloe has a cooling effect and helps to heal blemishes, cuts and scars.

Benefit:  “Aloe vera is a cactus plant that belongs to the Liliaceae family. It grows in dry climates such as those found in parts of Africa and India and has been used medicinally for centuries. Various studies have been conducted to examine the benefits of the aloe vera plant and it was found out that aloe vera does in fact have several properties that are effective in treating a variety of skin conditions, from flaky or dry skin, cosmetic ailments, hair and scalp problems to many more. Tt is also said to be useful in treating wounds and burns, minor skin infections, eczema and more.”

Moisturize:

Step 3:  Once you've applied your aloe you will apply your moisturizer.  Moisturizer selections will vary from person to person based on your skin type.   You may want to apply eye cream at this point if you suffer from puffy eyes or feel that the skin underneath your eye is dry.

Hydrate:

Step 4:  Lastly, you want to make sure you are drinking eight glasses of water every day.  This will ensure your skin is always looking its best!
