Tips for using olive oil soap!

I've had a few requests recently to share again my top soap tips that I put up on a story last week.  (I love getting feedback and hearing what people find helpful!)

So here they are:

1. Keep your soap dry between uses with a well-draining soap holder.

Real soap has its natural glycerine intact - that’s the bit that makes soap so nourishing for your skin (think moisturising!) - but it also makes soap susceptible to getting soft if left in water.  

2. When soap gets really small, pop it into a little soap pouch hung on your tap.

Use up every last bit!  Pouches are especially great in the shower as they double as a loofah.

3. Know your ingredients.

Most commercial soaps have the natural glycerine removed, and synthetic additives to replicate the skin nourishing quality of natural soap.  Also, commercial soaps are often made with oils and butters that are not sustainably sourced, such as palm oil.

For more soap tips and info, check out my FAQ page or send me an email and I'll get back to any specific questions you have.  I love soapy questions!
