Bitter leaf soap is made from the leaves of the bitter leaf plant. The leaves are boiled in water to extract the bitterness, then the water is evaporated to leave a thick, green paste. This paste is then mixed with other ingredients to form a soap.

Bitter leaf soap is traditionally used to treat acne. The bitterness of the soap helps to dry out the pimples and heal the skin. It can also be used to prevent acne by keeping the skin clean and free of oils.

The French had a novel way to remove pimples in the 1700’s. They called it a guillotine. It was very effective. But I digress.

In the USA we use electric cauterizers, and since it is mostly fat, just washing with soap and water around the area, then use Alcohol to ‘dry’ the skin.

Pimples or acne is definitely annoying. There are many causes for that to pop. One main reason is blocked pores. Hence work on keeping your pores clean.

How to keep pores clean?

It simply keeping your skin clean. Washing your face TWICE a day. Choosing a mild cleanser based on your skin type.

Twice a week, exfoliate using a mild scrubber.

Never ever sleep without washing your makeup off. You can simply wipe it off with Micellar water (Garnier has cheap n nice ones). And then with a mild cleanser.
