Papaya Soap Question

Papaya Kojic Acid Soap

Hello Maria, I use the Papaya soap for all over use meaning face and body. I would like to know what is best to bathe with (a loofa or bath towel) when using this soap? The reason I ask is because sometimes when using the Papaya soap my skin tends to get really red and sore. Kinda like its scratched or burned. Is it because I may be scrubbing to hard, using the wrong bath cloth or it's that just normal for the papaya soap? I need some insight please.

I also use the Papaya soap on my face. I like the way it makes my face feel and it has been working wonders for these ugly dark marks. I use it once a day with the cream without any face irritations but I was wondering...... is the Papaya soap best for controlling my acne? I heard from some people that Kojic Papaya soap is good for Acne. Or do you suggest the Black soap for my Acne prone skin? Sorry for the long message. :-) I appreciate your help!

Hello Tonya,

My dear you should not use a loofah or any material to scrub your skin with the soap. The skin lightening soaps are strong enough to exfoliate your skin. The use of scrubs will only irritate and harm your skin. Please review the directions that came with your package. So please stop using any bath towel or loofah ok? And stop using the soap on your skin for 4 days to give it a rest to recover from the scrubbing discomfort. Thereafter you can resume usage daily again.

I'm glad to hear the soap is working great for your face. Skin lightening soaps have a mild drying effect so it helps to control some acne, but should not be regarded as the actual acne treatment. If it's working to control your acne, then that's great!

After your face has peeled, it is best to use the Black Licorice Soap for the face because it will keep it fair-toned and works best for exfoliated/peeled skin. And yes, the Black Soap might be able to help with controlling your acne too.

Keep me posted if you have any more problems. :-)

All the best,
Maria
