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

My 13 year old daughter was starting to have bad breakouts on her face. She has always had very sensitive skin. I wanted to use something natural, and when researching came across your product. I ordered some of the oatmeal honey bars, and it has helped her skin clear up without any irritation. I just bought a bunch more. Thank you so much for what you do!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this soap! Both of my kiddos have such sensitive skin. They both suffered with eczema until we found Bend Soap. It took only about a week of using the soap and lotion for their skin to start clearing up.
Both of my grown daughters have occasional acne, so I have just sent this article to them. My older daughter has been using tea tree oil for her break outs, so she would probably try that soap first. I did read the comment about a customer switching over to the grapefruit one. So this blog information is very helpful!!
My boyfriend has been using my unscented goat milk lotion as a moisturizer, and it has helped his skin a lot. He uses harsh body washes so moisturizing is so important. He loves the lotion, and uses it more than me!
I bought the product for trial purposes. It really helped my daughters skin to clear up. I have been recommending and tagging the company on Instagram. It’s worth the try
