It’s a good ingredient to use but as I mentioned, just be careful not to use those near the brown parts.

I have a blocked oil duct in my eye and swollen eyelids. I took the leaf and squeezed out some aloe vera gel and put it all over my eyelids. The burning stopped and the itching I pray this works I will do this all the time until this is healed. The antibiotic ointment they gave me was useless and caused my eyelids to swell more, itch and burn. I love Aloe Vera leaf!! Will put it on my face too!

Why don’t you stop using the shea butter for the moment and see what happens. It is very rich for our weather here. I doubt the soap broke you out.

For Aloe Vera, you can use it like a moisturizer but my experience is, it’s not enough. So you still need to apply something over.

Hello,

I am back with the african black soap thing. I’ve been using it for the past one week, together with the unrefined shea butter.

And i am not sure if i should be waiting it out, but i’ve got a few extra breakouts, which i know would not have been there if i wasn’t using the african black soap or the unrefined shea butter. i don’t know which is the one causing the breakouts.

should i wait it out — maybe its a “purging” period of my face? (need your expert advise on this). the sad thing is that i’ve been reading up on the soap and shea butter for almost 4-6mths, and because of the excellent reviews and the fact that i found it in spore (for a cheaper price), i decided to go for it. now im sooo scared, it might make my face worse.

i read up some more – and found that only few people actually broke out after using it, and after 2 weeks, it was fine.. and then i read that unrefined shea butter might be too thick for our humid weather in spore — so that might cause it as wel. im in suchhhh a dilemma.

and with regards to aloe vera, can i use it as a face moisturizer to replace the (unrefined shea butter)? if not, what is the proper way to use it?

and.. lastly,, so sorry for having such a long post: do you have any suggestions of homemade moisturizer for combination skin?

thank youu sooo much for hearing me out!!!
