What Are The Side Effects Of Shea Moisture Black Soap?
Hi my name is Kristin. I have been using Shea Moisture Black Soap on my face and I feel like it s ruining my skin. My nose is red and I think I can see cuts or holes from the black soap bringing the dirt and stuff out of my skin. My cheek also gets pretty red and irritated after I use it. I usually have pretty clear skin aside from a occasional pimple here and there and couple not really noticeable dark spots from old pimples. Should I stop using this soap? Do you have anything you can recommend for skin like mine?

Hi!! I think this soap is not suiting you and you must stop it at the earliest. You should go for a soap free cleanser for washing your face like cetaphil cleansing lotion for sensitive skin or episoft cleansing lotion.
