Pretty good soap

So I've been using this thing with buchu and charcoal for a bit. It kinda helped with my skin, felt smoother and less oily. Didn't expect much but it did the job. I guess I'm satisfied with it so far. 🙂

Questions

Wet your skin and the soap bar
Start with clean, damp hands and skin. Run the soap bar under warm water for a few seconds to activate its creamy lather.
Create a rich lather
Rub the bar between your hands or directly onto your body in circular motions. You’ll notice a soft, bubbly lather form as the natural oils and clays gently cleanse the skin.
Cleanse and refresh
Gently massage the lather into your skin, allowing the botanical ingredients — like Buchu oil — to purify, calm and rebalance. Perfect for both face and body, depending on your skin’s needs.
Rinse thoroughly
Rinse off with warm water and pat your skin dry with a soft towel. You’ll be left with skin that feels clean, refreshed and never tight or stripped.
Store it well
To keep your soap bar lasting longer, store it on a slotted soap dish or a surface that drains well. Let it dry completely between uses to avoid softening or waste.
Use daily for healthy skin

Sometimes, especially if your skin’s used to synthetic detergents & commercial soaps. You might experience slight dryness or a texture shift at first; but give it a week or two. Your skin’s barrier needs a little time to adjust and rebalance.
