Hi Darlene,

I would like to share with you another experience I have in using your soaps.  If you can remember, I have keratosis pilaris, or chicken skin, as we commonly know.  It is by accident that I discovered your soaps December of last year.  And if you can recall, I’ve had my share of ups and downs during this year on my journey to making my KP a little bit better.  If you could remember, I did not exactly have a smooth sailing “journey” with your soaps.

I tried the Baby Blue soap, upon your advice.  But in the middle of using it, I’ve had some allergic reactions, especially when I tried using your Sunblock Away.  That experience was really awful.  That was the first time that my arm skin really flaked and got so rough.  Anyhow, I’ve really had a roller coaster ride this year with trying out different soaps, moisturizers, and products for my arms, to make my skin better, smoother, and more normal.

If you could recall again, I even went to the derma and she advised me to use Physiogel creamer.  Being the silly girl that I am, I bought the product and tried it. I had to finish the whole bottle because I didn’t want to waste the money I’ve spent in purchasing the product.  But I soon realized that Physiogel is NOT better or even good.  I didn’t like it.  I’m not so good in describing things and explaining in words how products work for me.  But I know that Physiogel didn’t do my skin any good because I felt that my skin was drier, rougher, and bumpier.


STICKING TO BABY BLUE

I then promised myself that I would never use anything else other than Baby Blue, or your soaps for that matter (but I’m still unsure whether I should really try your other variants for my arms).  So far, I’ve stuck to Baby Blue for over a month now.  And I must say that I’m seeing improvements with my skin.  It is now less bumpy, and more moisturized.  Of course, using a good moisturizer (Planet Noah’s Oasis Soothing Baby Oil) also helps a lot.

I wouldn’t really say that I am 100% satisfied with my skin now, because I wouldn’t deny that there are still bumps and I still have chicken skin, I don’t think it will ever go away.  I think what I can only do is make it better.  But I would say that I am 100% satisfied with the products I’m using for my skin.  They are really my partners and saviors.  They help improve my skin.


RESULTS

And you know what, because of my severe KP before, my arm’s skin color is uneven.  I don’t know how to exactly term the uneven skin color I have, because it’s different.  But the closest I could get to describe my arm skin color is “madaming patche patche.”  There are many patches of darker skin, something like having huge freckles on my arms.  My arm skin is not exactly dark, but the patches make them look darker.  And my left arm is fairer than my right.  Meaning, my right arm has more uneven skin tone.

While using Baby Blue, at first I was getting quite frustrated that my skin is not getting even.  But just about 2 weeks ago, I scrubbed my arms well while taking a shower.  And I immediately noticed afterwards that the uneven skin color has slowly faded.  I must say that my right arm’s skin tone is better now.  I hope it gets even better after continued usage of your Baby Blue soap.

Overall, I would say that Baby Blue has helped me in a lot of ways.  I can glide my hands SMOOTHLY through my damp arms after taking a shower.  This wasn’t possible before.  Before, my arms felt dry even on damp, and supposedly moist, skin. (Ironic statements, aren’t they?  But true.)  Baby Blue has helped me gain confidence and self-esteem.  I’m happier with my arms’ skin now, and less stressed with it too.


INDELIBLE INK EXPERIENCE

By the way, I should also share with you another experience.  Your soaps are really great because it helped remove the seemingly irremovable indelible ink I had on my index finger.  Half of my index finger was covered with ink, and I couldn’t really remove it for weeks, no matter how I tried.  I’ve tried different soaps, brushing my finger with a toothbrush and scotch brite, using alcohol, using detergent, and simply scrubbing my finger with water.  But nothing seemed to work.  Since at first I was only using Baby Blue for my arms and legs, and another soap for my chest and back, there was only little exposure of my hands to your soaps.  But starting May 29, I started using Citrus White for my chest and back.  Therefore, I was entirely using BY NATURE Handmade Soaps for my body, and hence, more exposure of your soaps for my hands as well.

In a few days’ time, I noticed that the indelible ink in my finger was slowly fading away.  True enough, after two weeks, my finger was completely clean and free of ink marks.  I am truly amazed.  And I could really attribute the fading to your soaps because I have two friends who have the same dilemma as I, and until now, their fingers are still covered with brown ink marks.  One of them does her own laundry but even so, the ink marks are still there.  Your soaps are truly amazing.


BACKNE EXPERIENCE

Lastly, I would like to share that your Citrus White is doing wonders for my chest and back.  If you can again recall, I have chest and backne.  But Citrus White has really helped lessen and flatten my acne.  My acne is not 100% gone, but I’m getting there.  I’m happier with how my skin is doing.  Additionally, since my back is really oily, I used to soap my back twice before I can get all the dirt and oil out.  But now, I only have to soap my skin once during bath time.  Your soap saves me time.  And I wasn’t expecting Citrus White to help in my acne problems.  What more can your Lavender Treat, Eucalyptus Breeze, or Just Tea Tree do for me?!  Amazing.  I will finish my Citrus White, and I will definitely use Just Tea Tree afterwards.

There, those are my new experiences with your soaps.  I’m not the type of person who will share a testimonial just for the sake of doing so, neither am I the type to sugar coat words or to make up stories just to win a promo.  If you also noticed, it is only now that I’ve really made a testimonial about Baby Blue even if I have tried it for several months (on and off) already since it is only NOW that I am of this soap’s efficacy.  I’m sharing these experiences because I am truly satisfied with your soaps.  I just hope that your soaps are friendlier to the pocket though.  Haha.


Cheers,
Starrie Sun
