<p>Unlike soap you buy at the grocery store, African black soap is a natural product, and can spoil. Air and moisture carry bacteria and mold that can ruin your soap.</p>
<p>Before you use your soap, keep it in its original wrappings and store in a cool, dry place &ndash; a dresser drawer works well.<br />If you buy a large bar, cut it into small pieces and use them one at a time. <br />Keep the pieces you&rsquo;re not using in a resealable plastic bag or container. You can also wrap it tightly in a clean cloth.</p>
<p>What do you do with black soap after you&rsquo;ve washed with it? It must be dried and stored until the next time you use it.</p>
<p>Put the wet soap in a soap dish with a draining rack. If you can, put it in a different room so it will dry more quickly.<br />Once the soap is dry, wrap it in clean cloth and keep it in the refrigerator or a drawer until you need it again.<br />Never store black soap in the bathroom or kitchen cabinet, where it will be exposed to moisture.<br /><br />Keep your black soap cool and dry, and it will stay fresh for a year or more.</p>
