Hello everyone and no this not another carolight thread
. Firstly let me say thanks to everyone on this site as you have really helped and educated me on skin care. Anyway Im currently in DR Congo and let me tell you, its like a mecca for skincare addicts particularly toning and lightening products. Ive seen so many products that arent readily available in London ( Asantee soap, nadinola, etc) just nicely sitting on the shelf here minding its own businness like
come and buy me !!
Im particulary interested in users of Angel Cosmetics products. Okay, so let me give you guys the run down on A.C products Ive seen so far:
HDQ creams: Essentially the same but with different extracts:
1 Carolight - with carrot essential oil
2 Citrolight - with lemon essential oil
3 Clair men - cream for men (the scent)
4 Pearllight - with pearl extracts
Non HDQ:
5 Miss Africa - the soap has kojic acid but the tub says "whitening agent" not sure what exactly the "whitening agent" is
6 Perfect white - Kojic acid and AHA , I recently bought this and this stuff has vaseline as the first ingredient?? it is very moisturing and smells nice - its for evening/clarifying skintones.
This thread is MAINLY for reviews from users of these products but lets keep the carolight talk to a minimum.
Since Ive been here Ive seen some flawlessly even skins of every complexion and people here are more than willing to divulge skin care secrets
its nice to be in such an environment.Contary to popular belief most people here want a flawlessly even complexion not nessisarily a light one and I havent seen that many light skinned people most are people are just flawlessly even.
Skin care info/secrets:
Carolight is the most popular cream here, as it made here its extremely cheap and in abundace.
Carowhite does not exist here
Most people use creams neat i.e no mixes and it works slow but they dont have orange palms or dark knuckles, they are also very even.
Most people here also avoid tubes
They usaually add lightening or plain glycerine for a boost and honey or vitamin E capsules for moisturisation or an AHA tonic like Rapid 7 jour for exfoliation;
People here dont use Sun protection but they do apply talc to their face, I noticed that the talc contains zinc oxide and they apply this throughout the day.
They advise suitable creams depending on your shade and what youd like to achieve.
So, the next thing I want to try is "Cocopulp" Ive seen adverts on TV about it and I think its angel cosmetics newest line has anyone tried it?
My goal is to be flawlessly even from head to toe like the people here
Also any info on Tala Ngai and White express ? - Its all the rage here, Ive searched threads but not much info, BTW the white express soap is excellent with a Korean Italy towel.
PS I will try to be as active as I can, but I have to go to an internet cafe, so please bare with me. Sorry the post is so long post.
