“In indian culture, we wash brides with turmeric and milk to brighten their skin before the wedding. It's mostly harmless and will fade its own. Try a milk wash possibly. Don't overscrub.”
U/[DELETED] ↗“Charcoal is incredible for pulling out oils and deeply cleansing, but because of that, it can be quite stripping. If your skin is already dry, I would definitely cross charcoal and turmeric-lemon off your list, as they will likely leave your skin feeling tight and flaky. From your options, aloe vera or lavender are going to be your best bets because they are soothing. Just make sure to look at the ingredient list and ensure the soap is superfatted with a heavy, nourishing base like organic olive oil, shea butter, or cocoa butter so it actually deposits moisture while cleansing!”
