HISTORY OF BLACK PAINT

It All Began... the story of BLACK PAINT began with a mother's love and the search for inner and outer health for her daughter. It took much scientific study, but in the end her quest led to restored health for her child ... and a line of organic skincare that enhances the body's own renewal and self-protection processes instead of fighting them.

When the founder of Black Paint Miyuki Maeda’s daughter was diagnosed with a serious "incurable" kidney disease, her outlook on life was changed forever. Her inner fighter was awakened and she realized that the power for healing was in her hands.

Miyuki studied modern physiology and bacteriology as well as traditional natural healing systems around the world. When she learned about beneficial bacteria, she saw the light. Bacteria that live symbiotically in our bodies are essential to our physical function, from digesting nutrients to protecting against disease. She realized that instead of killing those bacteria, we should nourish them so they can do their job.

The dark time of Miyuki's life has now ended, thanks to her determination to never give up the fight for her family's well-being. After the success of her "personal health study," she knew she had to share the benefits of her hard-won wisdom with the world. BLACK PAINT is the result.


4 STEPS PORE CARE

Step 1a- Black Paint Soap


120g - $49.90

Directions: Do used on dry skin. Can be double up as a makeup remover.
1. Soften soap with warm water (40 degree celcius) into a paste-like texture not watery. 
2. Apply directly to entire face and avoid getting soap water into your eyes as it may cause irritation.
3. Spread all over and massage to face lightly.
After massaging with moist hands, rinse off with water.

Purpose: It adhere itself into pores and massaging motion helps to extract direct from pores, rinsing with water washes away dirt from pores and size of pores will be reduced after the extraction of dirt.

Step 1b - Black Konjac Sponge
1pc - $14.90

Directions: Soak the sponge completely in water until it is totally soft, massage your face with the sponge in circulate motion after face wash with black paint soap(Remember to use all 6 sides to prolong usage and maintain the form of the soap).

Purpose: Removes blackheads and oil effectively as it is conjured from natural konjac fiber, it helps to assist in the pulling of partially exposed comedones from pores gently, giving skin a radiant and smooth surface.

USPDeeply cleans pores and removes keratotic plugs for smoother and fresher skin. Discovered a long ago by women who visited hot springs; when the alkaline water of the hot springs touched their skin, which is acidic, it triggered the skin to restore its normal balance by releasing more acid and this acid pushed out all the waste from within, leaving pores completely clean. That's why BLACK PAINT is made with a slightly alkaline pH level to
simulate the effect of alkaline hot spring.

Aftercare: Leave sponge to dry naturally, do not twist!

Step 2 - Best Water Toner

Directions: Use 3 to 5 pumps of best water on the skin, gently pat skin for better absorption. (Tip: Apply on a facial paper mask for better absorption. Can be used as a mask weekly)

verdict
I like the fact that it is natural and organic. At first I am a bit skeptical about trying it on my face as my skin is really sensitive, but after trying it I am really impressed by the products since it doesn't itch and helps to reduce pore size.

After using the soap my face felt really squeaky clean and the amazing thing is that this soap took just seconds to remove my lipstick! I really like multi-tasking product since it can save time and money! How good is that! 

Tip! : I also cut the soap bar into small pieces so that I can handle it with ease since the soap is slippery and it might be hard to work with if you have small hands like me!

I certainly thinks that the best water works well with the paper sheets. It really aids in absorption and my skin feel really light and refreshed. In love with it. The oil water is really great, it really helps to moisturise my face, my face felt really soft and "bouncy". It also leave skin with a dewy effect. It doesn't mean that you will get oily skin. Totally not oily! I love my oil water the best!

As for the water cream, it is the 2nd product that I came to know that it could transform into water droplets upon touching my skin. It certainly helps my skin to retain moisture effectively. 

Overall, I am happy with this product and I will continue to update on my progress of the 28 days routine.

UPDATES
Black paint functions well as it says which is to clear dirts and impurities away from the pores and hence it is obvious that some clogged pores will eventually develop to form pimples. I do developed one, but it starts to diminish after 3-4 days. My skin is now naturally glowing and I am loving it.
