Acne soap bar

Hello lovelies! I am back. :) 

About 2 years ago, I talked about Bacne. If you don't know what bacne is, it's acne on the back of your body. If you're interested to see my first post, you can check it out (here).

Previously, I used the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Organic Soap which I really enjoy. However, the price was something I did not. It was RM18 for a single bar which is extremely pricey for a bar of soap. The ordinary price of a soap is usually RM 5 for a packet of 3? 

Today I would be talking about the JF Anti-Acne Face & Body Soap. I have been using this bar for approximately a year now. It costs RM 11.90 and it comes with a packet of 2 large and 2 mini travelling bars. I like products that are affordable, effective and have less potentially harmful chemicals. 

This acne bar is right up my alley because it keeps my pimples at bay. 

Details on the box: 

I usually switch it up with Organic Selections Body Wash - Lemon Myrtle & Avocado to keep my skin "surprised". Check out my review of it (here). 

As a side information:
I use loofahs to lather for bar soaps. My review on loofahs is (here). For liquid soap, I use my trusty hands.

This soap has a tolerable smell but not as pleasant as the Organic Selection's body wash. However for the its price and effectiveness, I ain't complaining. :) 

As usual, I am always hunting for products that have minimal chemical ingredients and this soap keeps my paranoia to the minimum.  

Sulfur is known to treat acne and is usually contained in many acne products like facial mask. I noticed that products containing sulfur really works well on my skin. My skin doesn't have itchy reactions compared to when using benzoyl peroxide. 

Does your skin get irritated easily with benzoyl peroxide laden products? 

P.S - For sensitive skin please do a patch test prior to using it.

Moisturising body wash

Hi lovelies!

I seem to be apologising all the time for my absence. Thank you for your patience y'all. :)

Anyways, back to the review. I have been using this body wash called the, Organic Selections Body Wash - Lemon Myrtle & Avocado for 2 months now. If you guys don't know, I have mild eczema and I am always hunting for body washes that don't dry out my skin and cause me to itch like crazy. 

This body wash has a really light and pleasant smell which I really enjoy. I usually do my best to leave it on my body for a couple of minutes to allow my skin to soak up all the awesome ingredients. It leaves my skin really soft and supple after the wash. Sometimes, I am tempted to even skip body lotion after this wash. 

One thing I really adore about this product is that it is natural and partly organic.

Here are the ingredients:

Purified Water, Certified Organic Botanical Blend of Lavender, Rosehip, Burdock, Chamomile, Calendula, Horsetail (herb); Organic Safflower Oil, Biodynamic Avocado Oil, Biodynamic Macadamia Oil, Grapefruit Seed Extract,  Australian Bush Extracts of Kakadu Plum Decyl Glucoside (sugar derivative), Aloe Vera, Alpha Olefin, Soy Lecithin, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Locust Bean Gum, Guar Gum, Citrus Seed Extract, Olive Leaf Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Sea Salt, Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil, Lemongrass Essential Oil

As you can see, the ingredients are practically derived from things you know instead of some bizarre chemical. That really puts me at ease because your body is the largest organ and it absorbs whatever chemicals you apply on it; which is the main reason why I invest pretty plentifully on beneficial skincare products.

I bought this baby for RM48.30 (30% discount) at TNS Skin Lab. It's normal price is RM69. I entirely agree that it is extremely pricey for a body wash. I honestly do not know why I was inclined to buy it in the first place, but I bought it and I am really pleased with it. So far, I have used a 1/4 of the bottle.

I use it alternatively with another body soap to ensure that I always keep my skin surprised. I realised that my skin gets resistant to products I use over a period of time.  

Among all of the Organic Selections body wash ranges, I like this the most because of its pleasant smell. If you guys are hestitant to purchase this product, you could stop by at any TNS outlet to get free samples. 

Stay tuned for my next review on a body wash that helps acne prone skin.
