Today we'd like to share with you some tips on how to care for your Marseille soap to ensure it lasts longer.
Marseille soap is a natural product appreciated for its many virtues. Made from vegetable oils, using an ancestral recipe handed down from generation to generation, it's kind to the skin and respectful of the environment. However, to preserve Marseille soap at its best and prolong its life, it's essential to know how to care for it properly. Here are a few practical tips for storing and using your Marseille soap to perfection.
It's important to choose the right location!
For your Marseille soap to last longer, it's crucial to store it in a dry place. Soap doesn't like humidity, which makes it harder to dry after use. Choose an open-work soap dish, or even better, our magnetic soap dish, which allows water to drain and soap to dry between uses. Avoid leaving it in a saucer on the floor or on the edge of the bathtub, where it may stagnate in the humidity.
Put your soap in a net
A soap net is a very practical accessory for extending the life of your Marseille soap. It allows you to create an abundant lather while keeping the soap dry between uses. What's more, the soap net allows you to use even the smallest pieces of soap that would otherwise be difficult to use.
Cut your soap into pieces as soon as you get home
If you've bought a block of Marseille soap or our unsliced bars, it's advisable to cut them into smaller pieces as quickly as possible. This not only prolongs its shelf life by exposing only a small portion of the soap to moisture each time it is used, but also makes it easier to handle. Use a sharp knife to cut portions to suit your daily use. If you cut your soap as you go, it may dry out and crumble as you cut it. Once they've been cut to your liking, you can store them in small resealable bags.
Alternate between several soaps
To prevent your Marseille soap from being constantly damp, alternate between several soaps. Have two or three soaps in rotation, allowing each soap to dry completely between uses. This considerably extends their lifespan and allows you to enjoy different fragrances and properties. Create your favorite program, but for inspiration here are our favorites:
* Monday: White Tea & Yuzu Mild Scented Soap
* Tuesday: Aqua Tangerine Mild Scented Soap
* Wednesday: Pure Olive Marseille Soap.
Keep your leftover soap.
