ItsModella:
Same here. It made my skin insanely dry so I switched back to dove but still used the black soap on my face, till all my pimples cleared.

Now, I only use it for my hair and it works well.

Yoruba_Omoge:

Black soap for face? Doesn't that make your face oily?

Black soap strips your face of its natural oil, which causes the face to go into overdrive of oil production.

I guess it works for people in different ways.

ItsModella:
No, it didn't. It actually dried my face out a little bit but I was able to combat the dryness with my facial cream.

Yoruba_Omoge:

Curious. Which facial creme. I havent found a great one yet.

kamdyjenny: Black wetin?? I take God beg u I fit nt try dat...d smell alone chases me away

feminine A: Have been using black soap like forever. Love it so much. I use dudu osun too but I love the natural one yet to be mixed. Then I mix it with coconut oil and shea butter.

You can't eat your cake and have it, stop being too stingy it's going to mess up your mind and the ability to live a good life. I'm sure you will like to find a way to recycle your used tampons

austushi1: Yeah, I use dudu osun and I must say, its really a good soap. Tho, the only prob is dat it darkens my complexion. I dey find d 1 wey go make me fair

Winneygirl:
Right on point!
I buy d natural one, then mix it with lime juice, aloe vera, shea butter, honey and juice extracted from pawpaw leaves. I consider my mixture a very potent antimicrobial soap.

Brand_new: Has anyone ever tried Oyinlewa black soap? I hear the effect on one's skin is amazing.

ovalrose: @ Poster,i can confirm these things you said. I use Dudu Osun,and i cherish the effect on my skin. But the problem is that it does not last. It melts easily. Do you hav any tips for making my soap last longer?

mysticgal: the black soap works like magic,buuh all this people quoting the op's piece is making reading stressfull.

Yoruba_Omoge: That soap dried out my skin. Like literally.

I had to switch to dove.

No thanks. Unless the manufacturers can add a moisturising agent (aloe) to it's ingredients, I no do.

I like my soft, supple skin.

4 those complaining of dryness, shea butter acts as a moisturiser, too little or non-addition may result in dryness.

I also prefer it in liquid form so I can squeeze it out of a tube.

4 skin troubles, mix it Urself.
Aloe vera, Lime, and honey are very skin-friendly and quite 'unfriendly' 2 germs.
