Read quite a bit on this soap and am intrigued. But I dislike using soap as a whole even those that are free of SLS, etc. Glad it's working well for you though. Ah…African Black Soap.

I've fallen in love with using African Black Soap for washing my face - it's cheap, effective for pimples, and does not dry skin. I've gotten positive feedback from a friend that I've recommended to use for her rashes - she was amazed that her rashes calmed a lot within one week. I've switched a while to UNT Nettoyant for cleansing, but found that it didn't curb my pimples. So i'm back to using African Black Soap again. I prefer the one with Shea Butter, as it's not as squeaky clean as aloe vera.

It sort of calm the acne down, made it subside but the acne takes a long time to heal. I found that by adding a drop of tea tree oil with the emu oil and rubbing, the healing is faster. In addition, I'm also using the emu oil as a face massage oil on a weekly basis. Depending on what's your skin condition, you can add some essential oil if you like. I use rose geranium to balance my oil production. Otherwise, you can use the emu oil neat. After you massage the oil, you can leave it on without washing off or using other products. Once a week is good. I find that using emu oil on top of my other skin care products is too much of a good thing so if I do use the oil, it's only by itself. I'm also trying an experiment to see if emu oil can really thicken skin by rubbing the oil on my hands nightly. So far, can't tell. I’ve tried emu oil by rubbing it neat on my acne spot.
