Clear Skin Starter Routine
Natural 3-Step Face Routine for Acne-Prone & Blemish-Prone Skin
Dealing with breakouts, blemishes, excess oil or clogged-looking pores and want a simple natural skincare routine?
The Clear Skin Starter Routine brings together three of our most loved plant-based facial care products to help you cleanse, exfoliate and nourish your skin without making your routine complicated.
This 3-step routine combines African Black Soap Bar, Walnut & Papaya Exfoliating Face Scrub, and Baobab Oil to support clean, smoother, healthier-looking skin while maintaining the nourishment your skin needs.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
1. African Black Soap Bar: Cleanse
Our authentic African Black Soap Bar provides a deep, plant-based cleanse to help remove dirt, excess oil and daily buildup from the skin.
It is particularly suitable for oily, combination and acne-prone skin when used correctly.
2. Walnut & Papaya Exfoliating Face Scrub: Exfoliate
A gentle facial exfoliator designed to help remove dead skin cells and surface buildup, leaving the skin feeling smoother and looking fresher.
Use only 2–3 times per week to avoid over exfoliating your skin.
3. Baobab Oil: Nourish & Moisturize
Lightweight, nourishing baobab oil helps moisturize the skin after cleansing and exfoliation while supporting a soft, healthy looking complexion.
It is a simple way to add nourishment to your routine without making it complicated.

Sometimes, you need the right three steps:
CLEANSE → EXFOLIATE → NOURISH

HOW TO USE
STEP 1: CLEANSE
Wet your face with lukewarm water. Create a lather with the African Black Soap Bar in your hands before applying the lather gently to your face.
Massage gently and rinse thoroughly.
Do not scrub the black soap directly onto your face.
STEP 2: EXFOLIATE
2–3 times per week, apply the Walnut & Papaya Face Scrub to damp skin. (If your skin is inflamed, broken, or has boil-like pimples, wait 3–5 days before using the Walnut Scrub to allow the skin to calm and heal first. Once the skin has settled, you can introduce the scrub to gently remove dead skin buildup).
Massage very gently in circular motions, avoiding the eye area and avoiding harsh scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly.
Do not use the scrub every day.
STEP 3: NOURISH
After cleansing, apply a few drops of Baobab Oil to slightly damp skin and gently massage into the face.
Use morning and/or evening according to your skin’s needs.
How to Use Your Baobab Oil
If your face is inflamed, broken, or has boil-like pimples:
Do not use the Walnut Scrub, and avoid using the African Black Soap while your skin is healing. You may use Baobab Oil alone for oil cleansing. Apply a generous amount to your face and gently massage with your palms in circular motions for about 5–10 minutes, without pressure or rubbing. Then gently mop away the excess oil with clean cotton wool.
If your face is not broken or inflamed but has pimples:
For the first 3–5 days, use the African Black Soap twice a day, very lightly and gently. After cleansing, apply a generous amount of Baobab Oil and gently massage your face in circular motions. Remove excess oil with clean cotton wool. After 3–5 days, when your skin has settled, you can introduce the Walnut Scrub.
WHO IS THIS ROUTINE FOR?
The Clear Skin Starter Routine is ideal for people with:
* Acne-prone skin

IMPORTANT
Every skin is different. If your skin is reactive or sensitive, introduce the routine gradually. Pay particular attention to how your skin responds to African Black Soap and the exfoliating scrub. FOLLOW THE HOW TO USE ABOVE.
For best results, consistency and correct application matter. Avoid harsh scrubbing and do not over exfoliate.
