Happy new Month to all my fans become friends become family. I wish for you all the best in April 2020. Today we will discuss black soaps.

If there is ever a silver bullet to correct skin imperfections, it will be black soaps. Black soaps are good on skin for both men and ladies.

Black soaps have been used and trusted for centuries, so bet you can trust it on your skin. It is made of natural ingredients such as plantains peels, Shea butter, cocoa pods and palm oil. These ingredients are natural, making black soaps delicate on your skin. In fact, mothers can use this soap to bath their new born. You can trust black soaps for your skin’s daily routine.

Before I go in deep on the benefits of black soaps, let me fulfil my promise. Last week, I promised to explain the difference between skin brightening and skin lightening. Here we go.

Skin Brightening

Skin brightening aims at giving your natural skin an extra glow. It doesn’t change your shade at all. It truly prevents dull looking skin. It makes you skin look healthy and well taken care of. MABS aloevera brightening lotion does an amazing job for skin brightening as well as a range of other MABS products.

Skin Lightening/ Whitening

Most commercial products use harsh chemicals to achieve this. The results is usually skin reddening or oranging, formation of skin melanomas and light sensitivity. Skin lightening aims at giving you a different skin tone 4 to 10 shades away from your original shade, depending on how light skin you want to be. There is a much safer way to achieve skin lightening without the use of harsh chemicals. MABS products are 100% organic and natural. Our products are delicate on the skin and are very effective. MABS skin lightening serum, MABS orange cream, MABS white cream et cetera achieve skin lightening without causing harm to the skin plus you start seeing results within 3-5 days.

We all love fragrances. Oil perfumes are one of the best perfumes out there because they last longer, have more delicate scents, don’t irritate the skin and are cost friendly.

• Finding right fragrance
• Where to get quality oil perfumes

Application Method

Oil fragrances come highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. It should be applied on the warm areas of the body. The best place to apply oil perfumes is areas where you can feel a pulse. The wrist, neck, jawline, behind the ear. The scent will last longer plus, the heat of the body will keep the scent smelling nice.

For ladies who wear wigs, applying the perfume behind your skull under the wig is a great trick.

Oil perfumes should never be put on light colored clothes to avoid stains. It is best if it is applied directly on the body. Body heat is great for oil perfumes. I say it again, Body heat is great for oil perfumes.

Finding the right fragrance

1. When trying to find the right fragrance, you need to smell it when it is on the skin. Do not make the mistake of smelling the entire bottle. Smelling the entire bottle is you literally smelling the concentrated version of the perfume. It is best you apply it on your wrist first, then smell your wrist.

2. Choose mild fragrances. You don’t want to smell to hard as people generally don’t like loud smells. I prefer a soft, flowery smell compared to a ‘I Am Screaming for Attention’ smell. 💁🏽

3. Ask a friend. Trust me, people have different sensitivity to smell. Asking a friend gives you more confidence in your fragrance.

4. Madame Ann’s sells a wide range of oil perfumes. Prices are affordable and you can trust the quality of the perfumes ( undiluted). Prices range from N900.

Carrot oil has been in the beauty market for ages, used for hair and skin care. Madame Ann will discuss benefits and uses of carrot oil.

• Improve skin condition
• Skin lightening
• Hair growth
• Aromatherapy

Improve skin condition

Carrot oils are rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants are natural fighters of free radicals on the skin that can cause wrinkles and spots. Carrot oil helps prevent wrinkles and are good agents for tackling acne. Try MABS carrot oil it helps clear blemishes, pimples and bumps. It can be used in soap, face washes and creams. All found in Madame Ann’s beauty shop.

Skin Lightening

Carrot oil is a great skin lightener. It is rich in beta carotenes. Beta carotenes are great antioxidants found in carrots. Used for skin lightening, carrot oil is best mixed with lemon. Madame Ann’s beauty shop provides a range of organic product with carrot oil in it for skin lightening.

Its important to note, an overuse of carrot oil products can cause a red- orange hue on the skin. Madame Ann advise that you use products containing carrot oil at night. This is because the skin rejuvenates at night and exposure to the sun can cause orange skin when carrot oil is used daily. Since carrot oil is so potent, it is best to use twice a week ( at night) to prevent an orange hue on skin.

Hair growth

Carrot oil prevents hair breakage and encourages hair growth. Used as a shampoo and conditioner, it boosts the overall health of hair. MABS carrot oil, is a great moisturiser, giving your hair an extra boost of beauty and glow.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a practice supported by science and facts, where the scents of herbs, plants and plant oils are used in combination with massage and meditation to improve the mental and physical health of a person. Carrot oils have an earthy soothing fragrance, earning them a sit in the world of massage. It heals the skin and release triggering scents that helps a person develop an idea, memory or a plan. It also helps the person relax and have positive vibes.

Perfumes and fragrances

Due to the unique scent of carrots, carrot oils are used as a base to make perfume oils. Madame Ann’s beauty shop provides a range of sweet smelling fragrances, both feminine and masculine scents. Next, Madame Ann will talk on how we can correctly apply oil perfumes.
