How often should I use it and how do I wash with it?

Use the bar directly on wet hands or on a damp washcloth, work up a lather, wash the area, then rinse well with water. This is the usual way to use a solid cleansing bar on hands and body.

The soap is more purifying than many ordinary cosmetic soaps, so how often to use it depends on how your skin reacts:

• Oily or normal skin often tolerates daily use, especially on hands or body.
• If your skin is dry, sensitive or reactive, start with occasional use, for example two or three times a week, and see how it feels.
• If the skin becomes tight, rough, red or uncomfortable, reduce frequency or use the soap only on areas that need a deeper cleanse.

After washing, if the skin feels dry, apply a simple moisturizer. Keep the bars on a draining soap dish or a dry surface so they do not sit in water between uses. With four bars in the pack, you can keep one near the sink, one in the shower and one in a travel bag without taking up much space.
