Why does it seem like zits always pop up before an important meeting or a special event? And while you can find aisles of skincare products at the store, why is it that there never seems to be a product that helps clear up acne without drying out your skin? To make matters worse, these acne products often contain a concoction of chemicals that can potentially harm your skin. Scrubs, face-washes, treatments and expensive gels have all been dedicated to keeping our pores clean and skin smooth. But do they really help?
Luckily, we’ve come across a healthy alternative that helps combat acne AND keeps your skin moisturized. Believe it or not, but a single bar of our goat milk soap could be the #1 thing missing from your skincare regime — it contains the natural properties necessary to give your skin the moisture and protection it needs while fighting painful acne symptoms.
What Causes Acne?
At a high level, acne results when your pores become blocked by oil, bacteria, dirt, and dead skin cells causing inflammation. Acne occurs at a deeper, more painful level when your skin repeatedly experiences pimples or zits. If left untreated, dark spots and permanent scars may develop.
Acne can also be caused by other issues including hormone imbalances in adult men and women. As noted by MindBodyGreen,
“Hormonal acne is a great warning sign that’s showing you that your body needs some support and attention, but it’s not a curse. With the right tender care, your skin and hormones can find their way back to balance.”
Other variables such as excessive sweating, diet, rest, and even your water intake all play into the overall health and appearance of your skin and may also be to blame when your pores become clogged with dirt and sweat.
Natural Goat Milk Soap: An Acne-Fighting Cleanser
If commercial soaps and acne cleansers are not offering you relief, natural goat milk soap might be able to help.
Compared to the harsh chemicals in commercial skincare products that can harm your skin and cause unwanted side effects, goat milk soap has natural ingredients that work with your skin to keep it balanced, hydrated, and clear. We’ve had a ton of customers tell us that after they made the switch from generic acne cleanser to using our goat milk soap as a face wash, they never looked back (and their skin has never looked better!). You can read Allison's full testimonial on using goat milk soap as face wash here.

“The Tea Tree Goat Milk Soap has been great for my teenage son! His skin has improved tremendously since he began using it. His skin stays pretty well clear now.” - Posted by RH
“I Love the Tea Tree Goat Milk Soap and Oatmeal & Honey Goat Milk Soap. I'll be 40 this year and have always had oily blemish prone skin. At the suggestion of a friend, I finally tried goats milk soap and have no idea why I didn't try it sooner!! All my life I've tried many different products specifically geared towards oily/acne prone skin with okay results. I will NEVER go back to using harsh over the counter facial washes again!! I love how the soap makes my skin feel and am now having my teenage children use it as a preventative measure. I've tried other brands of goats milk soap with success, but your product does not burn if I get some in my eyes. I also love the smell of the soap!! I will continue to be a customer!! Thanks for a wonderful product.” - Posted by Carrie

I have been trying to find something to help with my horrible adult acne and I have tried just about everything. Came across bend soap and figured why not give it and try and I’m so glad I did. Only been using it for about a week and I can notice the acne on my back and chest going away! Don’t think I will use store bought soap ever again.
I have psoriasis on my face as well as a plethora of other skin issues and I have found that using the unscented sugar scrub on dry spots has helped clear me up. Most face washes are too harsh for my skin and moisture is absolutely necessary for my skin issues and i get that with the Oat and Honey bar soap. My skin feels so soft after. I love this company. Seriously, you have nothing to lose. They stand behind their products and care about customer satisfaction.
I haven’t thought to try the soaps as a face wash, but I’m curious to try. Since I suffer from hormonal acne, I’m used to using certain products to remedy it, but seeing that this is a natural product, I might want to give this a shot.
My children and my sister’s twin boys are all about Bend Soap for washing their faces. My children are in their early teens and are just starting to worry about acne issues, but with Bend Soap, it isn’t as big of a problem for them. My sister’s twins had serious acne problems in their mid-teens and after using Bend Soap, their acne problems almost completely disappeared. My love of Bend Soap has spread to my sister and her family and to my parents as well!
