How to Choose Soap for Mature Skin
As we get older, our skin changes. It makes less of its own oil, so it gets drier and feels more delicate. The soap you used at 25 might leave your skin tight and itchy at 55. Here's what helps.
Look for Rich Butters
Mature skin loves butters. Every bar we make has shea butter, which helps skin hold on to moisture. Our bars also have coconut milk for a creamy lather and kaolin clay, a soft clay that gives the bar a silky feel.
Skip the Harsh Stuff
Sulfates and strong detergents can strip away what little oil your skin has. Our soaps are sulfate-free.
Go Easy on Scent
If your skin gets red or itchy easily, choose a softer scent. Our French Lavender & Oats and Manuka Honey & Oats bars are gentle favorites.
Use a Different Soap for Your Face
The skin on your face is thinner than the rest of your body. Our facial soaps are made with extra shea butter, coconut milk and sea moss, and each one uses a different clay. For mature skin, I'd start with our Rose Clay & Sea Moss Facial Soap. It's soft and gentle.
How You Wash Matters Too
- Use warm water, not hot.
- Don't scrub hard. Just lather and rinse.
- Pat dry. Don't rub.
- Put on moisturizer while your skin is still a little damp.
Our Soothing Aloe Hand & Body Butter is perfect right after your shower.
Our Tip
If your skin still feels tight right after washing, your soap is too harsh. If you have a skin condition, check with your dermatologist about what's best for you.
