Skin Care with Handmade Natural Soap

1. Cleanse
The first step in great skin care is the cleansing of skin with all natural ingredients of handmade soap that work with your skins natural oils to enhance skin rejuvenation.

2. Exfoliant
Use a soap with an exfoliant that gently scrubs away old dead skin an allows newer skin to come forward. Oatmeal, popppyseed and ground almonds are typical natural exfoliants.

3. Moisturize
The natural glycerin that remains in handmade soap is the best natural moisturizer available to your skin when cleansing. Remember, commercial soap has all of the natural glycerin removed as part of their soapmaking processes. You can then buy it back in their moisturizers.

4. Nourish
Your skin is nourished from the natural oils, minerals and nutrients that are available only in natural soaps. These ingredients remain in handmade soap as they are not removed during the harsh chemical processes of commercial soap making. Olive oil, shea butter, coconut oil and soy are typical ingredients that retain all of their natural properties in handmade soap.

5.Protection
The natural oils your skin produces are an effective protection for your skin against all the pollutants, weather, air conditioning/heating that attack our skin every day. When using commercial soap these natural oils that our own bodies produce are stripped away, leaving our skin especially susceptible to our modern day stress and environment.
