Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Pray this prayer( the prayer doesn't get u to heaven but believing with ur whole heart does). Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and that I deserve hell. I realize that you died in the cross and shed ur blood to save me. Please forgive me for my sins and come into my heart and save me now. I am trusting in you only for my eternal salvation. Please help me now that I am saved to serve u faithfully. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen. questions? u can ask me. Its worth it to know him

I’m a licensed Esthetician and I use raw African black soap from West Africa Ghana always on my skin and on some of my clients with acne prone skin. It’s perfect for my skin. It softens my skin and removes makeup perfectly. Been using for well over 20 years and can’t see changing now.

[@dailydevotionwithfeigh]

I have dry skin, I use black soap once to twice weekly. And moisturize after with a Shea cream ... I use coconut oil too ...my face loves coconut oil. I am a cosmetic formulator , I do avoid oil to my formulations esp face products but I do use it on my body butter. But for face , experiment...who knows your skin might love coconut oil or and black soap. However use black soap in moderate It's crazy how my face loves avocado oil too and it's a comodogenic oil .

Your skin problems are not exclusive to your race. This “doctor” seems like she’s just trying to be virtuous by outcasting a specific group of people because that’s the current popular thing to do.

[@thomaxtube]

Thank you for the video: I wish to clarify a thing about soap chemistry, Coconut oil becomes saponified, when it gets combined with a natural alkali - that is the ashes of coco/cacao pods or roasted plantain - The ash works as a natural lye replacement. Alkaline element is always needed to turn any oil into soap. With back soap it’s traditionally and ideally coconut oil: Shea butter being the 3rd and ideally last ingredient. The fewer the better as you mentioned. The best black soap for me is 3 ingredients very soft almost like hard play dough, light brown, gentle , non drying, soap type, mine comes unbranded from an organic supplier in Ghana. this soap making process the natural glycerol left in the product unlike with mentioned “over processed” harder soaps which will last longer and are less likely to melt on their own if left wet, but that also lack the miraculous softerness and moisture properties. glycerol has a higher world market price than the soap itself , and this is why it’s often removed in and sold separately, when making more processed soaps everywhere. ,the black soap has its natural moisture and some free oil left in its structure, making the surfactant/soap part doing the cleansing, taking the oil with itself while leaving the skin feeling soft without robbing it from its glow giving naturals oils. an excellent choice for removing all types of makeup Healing skin issues (by being able to eliminate synthetic alternatives ). Works for face body and whole family. Namaste 🙏

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Appreciate your videos xx

Thank you for this video. I have oily skin that is also a bit sensitive. I realised black soap dries my skin so I buy the raw black soap and mix it with honey and rosewater. This comes out very okay for me and I've used ONLY black soap all over my body for over 3years now and I see it is very good for me. Dr. V, do you think this is okay?

I use mine plain. No additives. And mine I made by my grandmother in Northern Nigeria. Sabulun solo is fantastic. The Ghanaians make a good one too.

Like what would we do without you, like really?. If only I can show you my before and after since watching your videos on skin care for skin of colour. The amount of wrong things I was doing before your advices. My skin is glowing, I don't feel the need to wear make up any more. I actually understand my skin. I just want to thank you and god should continue to bless you abundantly. 🙌🏾

I use black African soap and it’s the only thing that cleared my skin completely. I don’t feel I’ve dried out being I balance with moisturizer. It helped my skin not be so overly oily; i used to be a disco ball. Love love love it. I’ve tried the “hyped” gentle cleansing like cervave for example which totally broke me out. & made my skin worse.

Me,too!

Yes! I am looking for this type of content. You are the only dermatologist I trust for my skin care. However, I am a natural girl and I prefer natural products such as African black soap. Could you please make a skin care routine video using natural products such as black soap, Shea butter, oils, etc?
