Eve’s Blemish Busting Secret
It’s nice to know that celebs have issues with their skin like the rest of us (misery loves company) and it’s even more comforting to know that they don’t all rely on high priced treatments to get their skin back in shape! Hip hop diva and actress Eve shared her blemish busting secret with me during an interview for Sister 2 Sister magazine. As it turns out, Eve’s go-to product is African Black soap! It’s typically not the first product that comes to mind but there is a lot of folkloric use of the soap for helping many conditions such as irritated skin, dry skin and acne.
A good steaming also helps Eve achieve a healthy glow! The use of steam for promoting healthy skin has been around for centuries although back then they probably didn’t know why. Steam does several things to your skin such as cleaning out out your pores by opening them up, softening up the dirt/oil combo and flushing it out through sweating. It also oxygenates your skin which can help reduce the p. acne population (they don’t like oxygen) thus reduce acne while stimulating circulation. The result is deeply cleansed, healthy, clearer skin with a fabulous glow! When your skin is out of control and nothing else seems to be working for you- give Eve’s tricks a try!
