Neutre Absolu Gentle Soap Oppidum Gentle Soap

Of course, there is nothing simpler than lathering up, a practice that dates back to ancient times. However, the reality is that every step, from setting the water temperature to drying your skin and choosing the right soap, matters! Here are some tips for use:

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

2. Wet the Oppidum soap and rub it directly onto your skin. Focus on key areas where you will 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 over your entire 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 prolongs its cleansing action and increases the absorption of the natural glycerin in the soap by your skin. This is where the rehydrating and restorative care begins.

5. Rinse with clean water, not too hot. Again, too high a temperature will diminish the care provided by your soap: it will disrupt the production of sebum, which is 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 the skin with textile fibers: excessive friction removes the lipid film left on your skin by the soap. This is especially important in winter when temperature contrasts heighten skin sensitivity.
