African Red Tea Imports, Rooibos Cleansing Beauty Bar

I was looking for something to wash with that combined moisturizing ingredients which are gentle along with alpha hydroxy acids. Alpha hydroxy acids have multiple skin benefits, including: improving skin pigmentation, decreasing fine lines & wrinkles, exfoliating, increased sunscreen absorption, improving the appearance of sun-damaged skin and enhancing cellular skin turn-over which is good for acne-prone skin. Because alpha hydroxy acids are used in higher concentrations in chemical peels, the improved skin pigmentation & exfoliating factors in this cleansing bar may help prevent new acne lesions by opening clogged pores & flushing out excess oil before new acne forms.

Rooibos is soothing to the skin & reduces irritations, helping to create clear, healthy skin. Rooibos also has anti-viral, anti-fungal & anti-bacterial properties, making it effective at combating skin infections. Rooibos also has both anti-inflammatory properties as well as being an antioxidant, both of which are excellent at calming irritated or acne-prone skin.

There are numerous other ingredients which are beneficial to the skin; zinc which fights infections, glycerin which moisturizes, Rooibos is anti-aging, royal jelly which is packed with nutrients which increase collagen production, honey is moisturizing & so are the emu oil, hemp oil & vitamin E.

Jojoba oil has properties uniquely beneficial for acne sufferers. It is non-comedogenic which means it will not clog your skin or cause pimples to form. Although it is a moisturizer, it is light-weight so your skin doesn't feel greasy. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory properties which help soothe irritated skin.

A common mistake acne sufferers make is to scrub their skin harshly & try to remove all the oil. This will only make acne flair up. Washing with gentle, moisturizing products like this African Rooibos Cleansing Beauty Bar can be a great way to calm down your skin conditions while improving the health of your skin.

I couldn't identify the fragrance but I really liked it. It wasn't floral. It was an earthy, herbal smell. Not medicinal, either. It does lather black but it didn't stain my tub, lol! It also lasted surprisingly long for being a glycerin bar.

I found this to be a great product. I had to remember that alpha hydroxy products can make skin sunburn more quickly, so I left my sunscreen handy when I showered with this Rooibos Bar, but I would definitely recommend it.
