BEST Scrub I’ve Ever Used: Shea Moisture African Black Soap Facial Wash & Scrub
Last Updated on December 31, 2016 by Cassie Lyons
Shea Moisture African Black Soap Facial Wash & Scrub is an amazing combination that washes off cosmetics and exfoliates at the same time without being harsh on problem skin. This wash is jam packed with organic and straight from nature ingredients that help your skin heal current breakouts and prevent future ones from occurring. Some of my favorite ingredients from this product are: African black soap, mango seed oil, and coconut fatty acid.
African black soap is an ingredient that is composed of several different ingredients in itself. Composed of the ash from burnt oils, leaves, pods, and plantain skins, African black soap has an abundance of antioxidants. These antioxidants reduce inflammation and irritation- which happens to be main characteristics of acne. Also, the plantain products that are burnt contain vitamin E and A. Vitamin assists in collagen production and vitamin E moisturizes and improves skin texture.
Mango seed oil is of course derived from mangos. Which are also a natural source of vitamin A and antioxidants that greatly helps dry skin. That’s why this ingredient is an essential for a facial wash that also contains skin drying ingredients like tea tree oil and salicylic acid.
Coconut fatty acid is trending like crazy for its amazing skin benefits. Why? Because truthfully nearly any skin condition could improve with just some coconut oil. Acne, eczema, psoriasis- you name it, coconut oil’s fatty acids can improve it tremendously. The fatty acids moisturize, but also calm inflamed skin and help to prevent the production of bacteria which are a huge contributor to acne.
The Positives
Who could name them all? The ingredients just make you smile when you read the label because you actually know what is going on your face! The scrub is gentle and doesn’t even irritate acne that has been recently popped- a super benefit for those of us who just can’t stop fiddling with our breakouts. Your skin feels clean but soft right after washing which leaves you knowing that using this product is really doing something good for your skin.
The Negatives
If I had to think of one I’d say the only negative would be the container. Although a regular container for a facial scrub I wish that it was inside a jar instead of a tube.
So What’s The Scoop?
Shea Moisture African Black Soap Facial Wash & Scrub is a perfect buy for absolutely any skin type, any age- this scrub works and will improve any of the common issues your skin may suffer from. Whether you’re having a breakout now or you’re worried about future issues, this scrub will help and it’ll do it cost efficiently and naturally.
