Black Soap White Lather : skin care for blemishes

28May11

So today I went on a whole foods crusade to find Black licorice soap. According to the Internet, it helps get rid of skin blemishes and discoloration. I’m sure you have heard of black soap, but black licorice soap works a little differently. It’s a natural skin brightener. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not about to pull a Sammy Sosa, I love my golden brown complexion, but what I don’t love are the dark spots that come from acne , friction and eczema…Anyone who has a hint of melanin in their skin most likely can relate. Here’s the scenario: You get a blemish, you treat it with some homemade remedy or proactive. Feeling like a conqueror you cheer and go to bed feeling confident about your face. The next day you wake up and see it left a mark of vengeance. You now have a brown spot on your face that takes residence for about three weeks. #Fail. Or maybe your elbows were dry as a child and because of neglect they look as if you have been throwing ‘bows’ in a charcoal factory. #epicfail. Whatever you ailment, the best way to combat an uneven skin tone and blemishes is Black Licorice soap. Trust me, im a stylist
