Bleu De Nimes Gentle Soap Oppidum Gentle Soap

Of course, nothing is easier than lathering up, just as it has been since time immemorial. However, the reality is that everything from setting the water temperature to drying your skin and choosing the right soap for care matters! So, here are some usage tips:

1. Prepare your skin by wetting it with water at a pleasant temperature, but not too hot. High temperatures can intensify skin irritation and tingling sensations. 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 the main areas where you will be applying the soap: hands, chest, shoulders, lower back, thighs, and calves.

3. Work the soap into a lather with your hands and spread it over your entire body. Skin to skin: lathering should be done gently, without rubbing or 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 allows your skin to absorb the natural glycerin from the soap. This is where the rehydrating and restorative care begins.

5. Rinse with clean water that is not too hot. Again, excessively high temperatures can reduce the care provided by your soap: it disrupts the production of sebum necessary for skin hydration and causes excessive moisture evaporation from the skin.

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 on the skin by the soap. This is especially important in winter when temperature contrasts heighten skin sensitivity.
