Mille Fleurs Soap Oppidum Gentle Soap

Sure, there's nothing easier than lathering up—something we've been doing for ages. But the reality is that everything matters, from setting the water temperature to drying your skin and choosing the right soap for care. Here are some tips for using the product:

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

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

3. Lather the soap with your hands on your skin and spread it over your entire body. Skin-to-skin: lather as gently as possible, avoiding friction and irritation that textiles might cause.

4. Leave the soap on your skin for a few seconds. This extends its cleansing action and allows your skin to absorb the soap's natural glycerin. Here begins the rehydrating and restorative care.

5. Rinse with clean, not-too-hot water. Again, overly hot water can diminish the benefits of your soap: it disrupts the production of sebum necessary for moisturizing your skin and causes excessive moisture evaporation.

6. Dry your skin by gently patting it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing too hard or scratching your skin with textile fibers: excessive friction removes the lipid layer left by the soap. This is especially important in winter when temperature contrasts heighten skin sensitivity.
