we are ready to help!
many people go through an adjustment phase, depending on how dependent their body was or is on previous beauty products
to ensure a smooth transition for you, here are some helpful tips:
1. face:
if your face feels tight after using our soaps, consider trying one of our natural facial oils. they can help your skin find its natural balance. avoid creams or processed products. also, consider using soap only in the evening – less is more for your skin
our facial oils are especially helpful in the beginning:
2. hair:
if your hair feels greasy, stiff, or the soap doesn't lather well, make sure to follow our hair washing tutorial. the right technique is crucial for success! if you don't handle it correctly, soap residue may build up depending on your water and hair type. use an acidic rinse, as explained in the tutorial, to solve the problem. also avoid other hair care or styling products to speed up the transition

3. body:
use just the necessary amount of soap. most of the dirt on our bodies is water-soluble and will naturally wash away during a hot shower. this includes dust, oil-free dirt, sugar, or salt-based substances. soap is only required to remove the oily dirt that is "hydrophobic" since soap chemically bridges water and fat
what exactly is oily on your skin? your body produces sebum, which naturally cares for and protects your skin. completely washing it away with every shower is not healthy! we recommend lathering the entire body only if you find very resistant, oily dirt on your skin. this may be the case if you engage in physically demanding work.
for all other cases, a shower with plain water and a little soap focusing on armpits, outer genital area, feet, and hands is sufficient. this not only saves you money but also gradually improves your skin's health and resilience
