HOW TO USE:

How Should I Use Natural Soap to Clean My Face?

We believe in simple, effective cleansing for your complexion and that is accomplished with natural soap and water. The purpose of soap is to combine with oil and dirt on the body, which allows water to wash it away. The method you use to cleanse your skin, especially your face, is really personal preference. We thought we would share just a few examples. 

Hand Lathering is usually the suggested method for cleansing delicate facial skin.

• Use lukewarm water to create a creamy lather in your clean hands.
• Gently massage the lather over your face using circular motions with your fingers.
• Rinse with cool water and pat dry. 

Washcloth Washers, such as our Magic cloth: A washcloth can help remove dead cells and invigorate your skin. A gentle massage with a soft washcloth can help keep facial skin smooth and clean.

• Rub the bar on a soft, clean, wet cloth to create a creamy lather.
• Apply to your face by a gentle massage using circular motions.
• Rinse with cool water and pat dry. 

    If you are using a washcloth:

• Exfoliating or scrubbing too hard may cause the skin to become red and irritated. 
• Use a clean washcloth, especially if you are prone to acne. Washcloths can re-deposit dirt and grime right back onto your skin.
• Washcloths can have soft or rough fibers. You want to use soft, NOT rough fibers on your face. 

 Never share washcloths or other accessories and replace or clean them often. 

A Few Other Pointers:

• Use warm, not hot, water to wash your face.
• Use cool water as a final rinse to close your pores.
• Avoid products made with synthetic ingredients that can irritate facial skin.
• Avoid products that contain alcohol which can cause skin to become tight and dry.
• Apply a moisturizer immediately after washing your face while skin is still damp.

INGREDIENTS:

Saponified Vegetable Oils: Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Hemp Seed Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Shea Butter, Castor Oil, Kaolin Clay, Activated Charcoal, Titanium Dioxide, Eucalyptus, Peppermint and Lavender Essential Oil.  

Please note that between use it should be kept away from water - best on a soap dish - wooden , ceramic, or a Soap Bag.  

Please Note: We don't skimp on the charcoal. The deep color may cause staining on light colored washcloths. Stains should disappear after laundering, but we make no promises.

All soaps are 100% hand-crafted in the traditional cold process method with a blend of high quality plant oils and butters.  It is vegan and free of synthetic fragrances, colourants and preservatives.  The ingredients are combined manually, poured into forms, cut and decorated by hand. Therefore, they may differ slightly in shape or colour. However, the recipe is the same for each batch and equally delicate, foamy and efficient.

The white powder that you might see on the top of the soap is just soda ash, appears when the soap has contact with air and disappears after first use :)
