Nigerian weather is harsh to an average skin.
Germicidal all the way.
Then u can use moisturiser after bathing.

Give out the soap if u dont want to use it.
it's just 2 packets. Soap full market.

We also have dudu osun.
Better than done any day and is locally made

You posted like all those people who are against having fair skin. What the heck do you mean by saying you got darker!!? A black person? What soap do you now use, pray tell? Makari? A toner? A brightening one? I want to know cos I know you don’t use Dove.
I am a doctor and have never sold a thing in my life. I also don’t use Dove. (I did, many years ago. And many people I know use it as their default cheap soap type). And it is great. You spoke with authority while being wrong and you are doing it again . UAE is hot and Dove is made there, so what gives?
Your verdict gets an F9 from me shaa.
I am not a damn body [/s]

Just because you are a doctor doesn't mean, you know what soap works for everyone, I experimented with the both soap and cream here and got different results. I got more darker until I changed my both product.

Or are you trying to deny the facts that there are fakes in the market here in Nigeria. infact i am suspecting my foreign soaps and creams are fake

How come in cold weather, i got more chocolate skin tone, here I got a little darker when using the same product.

Ishilove:
Used it once and hated it. It's oily and you have to keep pouring water on your body because no matter how you scrub, you still feel grimy because of the oil residue

This is exactly what to hate about Dove
The fact that it leaves a slimy residue and you don’t feel that soap sqeakiness.
If I had to use a soap that would make my skin squeak ? I would run mad.

merahki:
Like, very untrue

You're using a fake.

merahki:
The soap I use is 3900-4200 for one (much cheaper when I buy outside of Naija)
It is made up of only organic coconut,argan, shea bla bla bla. Pure moisturizing...doesn’t last so long. So it is natural all right, but costly.
No natural organic moisturizing soap would be cheap. DIYs is another option you can explore.
I still say, give out your Dove since you clearly hate it’s nonnaturalness. I would rather use that than use all natural bleaching soaps shaa.
@lockdown, I am in clinic

Ahhh!!

I hope you have PPE o

I was agreeing with you

I'll give it out

Did you like the thread?
I read that weird one (all 37 pages of it )

Sure I did. Got to page 6 yesterday, haven't gone back to it yet though.

I could relate very well with the first-time weed experiences

merahki:
Yayyyyy
Thank you!
Maybe you are my soap selling agent

Lol. I hate the slimy feeling like you used rain water, but with plenty hot water you feel clean.

Better preach.

I also preach against medicated soaps. It's all marketing

@lockdown, I am in clinic

what is the name of the organic moisturising soap you use? Does it lather?

funmisticqueen2:
Hmm.

But you know there are some soaps that are extremely harsh, like tetmosol, Dettol and co

No, I don't do medicated soaps. I'm allergic to whatever is in there.

Twoclans:
Hi Fummi

I am actually a brand prostitute when it comes to soaps .The weather influences my decision alot.I can go from E45,dudu osun,Irish spring or st Luke's .The weather determines for me.

I only use Dove during harmattan. Dove is a No No when the weather is hot.You can actually put it away and use it during the harmattan period.It actually has good lather when you use it with warm water.

Brand prostitute

Wetin I no go see for NL

Are you living in Nigeria

No, I'm American.

And mentioned only dermatology ie skin? Why are you making up stuff? To “win”?

Ma binu o.

Maybe as doctors, we should start selling soap. What do you think?

khiaa:
No, I'm American.

Your weather is different from our own. That's why.

Triclosan. That stuff is bad news

funmisticqueen2:

Some of these soaps are also recommended by dermatologist even when these types of soap are not suitable for the body.

Go Germicidal.
That's the best soap to use in Nigeria.
All these costly toilet soaps not for our skin cos of weather.
They are not made for our skin and weather no matter how costly. We just use them cos we wanna identify with using costly soaps( the naija way )
U want to use, get those made in Dubai. That's the nearest to our weather and water ph.

funmisticqueen2:

I live in the desert in Palm Springs, California and the heat can get up to 120 degrees in the Summer and no such problems has happened in over 20 years. I have used it all of my life.

sexylassie2:

that they write that a soap is dermatologically tested doesn't mean dermatologists recommend it. It means that they paid a dermatologist to review it.

Dettol and co is bad news, especially if you don't have any rash. Maybe if you have a skin lesion before some dermatologists recommend it. Different schools of thought on this soap matrer

Is California near the equator?

I actually advise against germicidal.

I'm interested in this one
Oya, spill the beans pleeeeease
What happened when u took it?

By the way, I enjoy threads like that a lot. I read all.


I only had such reaction when I combined malaria drugs.
Oh what people do when they self medicate

I carry water go shower in the middle of the compound. My saviour was it was night. Maybe around 2am.
Still not okay, tied the towel( u know that big wrap round towel) and marched to the house of the person that sold the drug to me The same night o.
She is a sister any way. Gave me one injection, have forgotten the name and I slept off.

Seemed i was lucky, nobody saw me bathing. Shame for kill me there( school days)

But you know Dubai weather is very hot and harse than ours. The heat is extreme.

Sincerely speaking I don't know what soap and cream works for our us that lives in Nigeria.

It is just hit and miss.

funmisticqueen2:

The humidity is high, and hot is hot.

Most people I know don't like Dove. It's one of the worst soaps ever. I used one bar out of the package I had last yr, ended up throwing it in the garbage after that use, and giving away the rest of the package. There are better alternatives out there, but to each their own.

U know lifebuoy? I don't know if I got it right. That's the kind I mean. Not detol etc type.
I have forgotten the name of the Germicidal I used. The cover is lemon. Just on the family of lifebuoy.

If I tell u that such is good, just take it from me that has extreme sensitive skin and has visited dermatologists a lot.
