How to use kojic acid soap on your face and body

Want a simple way to add kojic acid soap to your routine? Our Turmeric + Kojic Acid Sea Moss Soap is made for cleansing your face and body. It brings turmeric, kojic acid, liquorice root and sea moss together in one bar.

If dark marks or uneven-looking skin tone are on your mind, this is a lovely place to start. Kojic acid is used in brightening skincare to support a more even-looking tone. Give your skin time: results vary, and a cleanser cannot promise to remove every mark.

How to use your soap

  1. Patch test first. Try the soap on a small area before using it more widely. If irritation develops, stop using it.
  2. Wet the bar and your skin. Rub the bar between your hands to make a lather.
  3. Cleanse gently. Massage the lather over your face or body, avoiding the eye area. There is no need to scrub hard.
  4. Rinse well. Our product directions say to leave the lather on for two minutes before rinsing thoroughly. If your skin feels uncomfortable, rinse it off sooner and stop using it.
  5. Moisturise. Pat skin dry and follow with your moisturiser. Our Sea Essence Body Butter is an option for the body.

What about sunscreen?

In the daytime, finish with a broad-spectrum SPF on exposed skin. Sun protection is an important part of caring for skin when you are concerned about dark marks.

Can I use it on both my face and body?

Yes. Our Turmeric + Kojic Acid bar is described for face and body. Keep it away from your eyes and follow the product directions. Everyone’s skin is different, so pay attention to how yours feels.

Make your bar last

Keep the bar on a draining soap dish between uses so it can dry. You can read our soap storage guide for more tips.
