African Black Soap, Coconut Activated Charcoal Powder, and Natural Skin Healing Oil. What do all 3 have in common? They’re all natural beauty products! I suffer from cystic and hormonal acne, so using natural-derived products matters a lot to me. But I’m taking even further by using 100% natural products! So I headed down to Shades of Afrika in Long Beach, California and picked up African Black Soap, Coconut Activated Charcoal Powder, and Natural Skin Healing Oil.
