How to Use a Soap Bar

Using a soap bar correctly is simpler than you think. With the right technique, a natural soap bar cleanses your skin gently without disrupting the skin barrier or harming the environment. Here is everything you need to know.

Choose the right soap bar

Natural soap bars by Nature Bar, handmade in Amsterdam

Choose a soap bar made from 100% natural ingredients, free from sulphates, parabens and artificial fragrances. All Nature Bar soap bars contain only natural ingredients that gently cleanse and nourish your skin, using circular by-products from local Amsterdam partners.

How to use a soap bar step by step

  1. Wet your skin and the soap bar with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water as it dries out the skin and causes the bar to shrink faster.
  2. Create lather by rubbing the wet soap bar between your hands for at least 20 seconds. This effectively removes dirt and impurities.
  3. Massage gently over the skin in circular motions. You can also use the bar directly on the skin, but do not press too hard.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Make sure no residue remains.
  5. Pat dry with a soft towel. Do not rub, just pat gently. Combine with our body butter for extra hydration if you have dry skin.

How to extend the life of your soap bar

A soap bar lasts at least twice as long as its liquid equivalent, as long as you keep it dry between uses. Place the soap on a bamboo soap dish so excess water can drain away. Never store it in a closed container.

Conclusion

Using a soap bar correctly makes your cleansing more effective and your bar lasts longer. Gentle on the skin, plastic-free and handmade in Amsterdam. Want to learn how we make our soap? Join a soap making workshop at our soap studio in De Hallen.
