Look, I know every so often I get all excited about a beauty product and proclaim, “this is IT!”
But, y’all, this is IT.*
Magic cream.
With a funny name.
I’m pretty sure I bought it mainly because it’s funny that it’s called Africa’s Secret and I love all the dirty hippie ingredients in it, and I started using it on my legs and loved it, and realized I was using it in place of my previously-obsessed-over Sienna Naturals baobab moisturizer (hello, here). So when I went to reorder, I read all these glowing reviews about how it cleared up acne and skin conditions and even cracked feet (gross), and I decided to put just a smidgen on my much-maligned face (here, here) and it felt deeply hydrated and has not broken out since (results not scientific). SO here I am to report to you that this stuff is like gold (and costs almost as much, $14/2 ounces) and I love it and you should too because I knew about baobab before it was cool.
Dirty hippie magic ingredients:
- Shea Butter
- Coconut Oil
- Beeswax
- African Wild Honey (harvested sustainably)
- Neem Oil
- Baobab Oil
- Sesame Oil
- Royal Jelly
- Bee Pollen
- Bee Propolis
Reasons you want all that jazz on your face here. I buy mine in a two-pack from Amazon: Alaffia Africa’s Secret Multipurpose Cream, 2 oz 2 Pack.
