For silky smooth, buttery soft, even skin we recommend a simple 2 step process which involves skin exfoliation with soap and a body butter. For optimal results please select one option from step 1 (exfoliation) and choose one option from step 2 (body butters). If you choose to exfoliate with the sapor bath sponge we recommend pairing this with the samina black soap.
The Sapor exfoliating bath sponge (African bath sponge) is native to western africa. Our sponges are 100% authentic and imported at fairtrade from Ghana. It is super durable, machine washable and provides a medium exfoliation which is safe to use daily. We recommend using this sponge with black soap during a shower to ensure debris and excess oil are completely removed from your skin. Black soap also provides additional benefits to help eliminate acne, ingrown hairs and evens out skin tone. Please visit the Sapor- Exfoliating bath sponge listing for more information
Our Samina Scrub consists of a finely grounded pumice stone mixed with our hydrating black soap. Pumice stone is commonly used during a pedicure on the soles of your feet to remove calluses and corns. This scrub is safe to use daily and we recommend using it during a hot shower. The steam from the shower helps to soften harden skin, making skin exfoliating more effective. This scrub suds up into a rich lather encouraging the removal of excess oils, dead skin cells and other debris from the surface of your skin. Please visit the SAMINA SCRUB listing for more information.
