DIY African Black Soap Acne Wash, Body Wash, and Shampoo

 

If you would like to start using more natural products as part of your beauty regimen, you should try using 100% Natural Raw African Black Soap. In my ebook “A Skincare Guide to Preventing Cystic Acne,” I talked about how I used African Black Soap, as well as other natural products, to help me alleviate cystic acne.

In the step-by-step video at the end of this post, I show how I make my DIY Acne Wash, Body Wash and Hair Shampoo using African Black Soap.

There are many great benefits to using African Black Soap. It can help with skin problems like acne, eczema, oily skin, and it can also help with wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots.

Best of all, African Black Soap is 100% all natural! There are no harmful byproducts in African Black Soap and it is free of parabens and sulfate.

I like to make my DIY African Black Soap acne wash, body wash, and hair shampoo in small batches and it is best to keep refrigerated so it can last a long while.

If you do not want to keep your DIY African Black Soap acne wash, body wash, or hair shampoo refrigerated, then be sure to add a preservative like an essential oil and remember…make small batches.

In the video, I used Tea Tree Essential Oil for my DIY acne wash (I also use it in my DIY acne toner), Lemon Essential Oil for my DIY body wash, and Rosemary Essential Oil for my DIY hair shampoo. I recommend using Tea Tree Essential Oil for the face wash since it’s great for keeping your skin clear, but for the body wash and hair shampoo, you can add any essential oil you like.

I also used carrier oils Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, and Castor Oil for my DIY beauty products, but you can use any carrier oil of your choice like grapeseed, argan, jojoba, or sesame seed.

Just be sure when using essential oils, to ALWAYS mix it with a carrier oil to prevent any chemical burns.

*UPDATE: I forgot to film adding the olive oil to the body wash. You can start with adding a 1/2 teaspoon and see how you like it. If you find it’s too much, add 1/4 teaspoon. You can also opt to skip the olive oil altogether.
