Vive Verveine Soap Oppidum Gentle Soap

Of course, there's nothing easier than lathering up, as we've done since time immemorial. But the reality is that everything from setting the water temperature to drying your skin and choosing the right soap matters! So, here are some usage tips:

1. Prepare your skin by wetting it with water at a comfortable temperature, but not too hot. Higher temperatures can increase skin irritation and tingling. After showering, the evaporation of water from the skin's surface intensifies, leading to immediate dehydration.

2. Wet the Oppidum soap and rub it directly onto your skin. Focus on the main areas where you'll be applying the soap: hands, chest, shoulders, lower back, thighs, and calves.

3. Lather the soap with your hands on your skin and spread it all over your body. Skin to skin: lathering should be done as gently as possible, avoiding friction and irritation that can be caused by textile fibers.

4. Leave the soap on your skin for a few seconds. This extends its cleansing action and increases the absorption of the soap's natural glycerin by your skin. This is where the rehydrating and restorative care begins.

5. Rinse with clean water, not too hot. Again, excessively high temperatures will reduce the benefits of your soap: it will disrupt the production of sebum necessary for skin hydration and cause excessive moisture evaporation from the skin.

6. Dry your skin by gently patting it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not rub too hard or scratch your skin with textile fibers: excessive rubbing removes the lipid film left on your skin by the soap. This is especially important in winter when temperature contrasts heighten skin sensitivity.
