I’ll let you in on a little secret – I hoard bar soaps! While I mostly use liquid body washes in the shower, I really like the feeling of washing my hands with an old-fashioned bar. Long gone are the days when harsh moisture-stripping formulas were the only options you could find at the stores, now bar soap lovers have more choices than they could possibly wish for!
Here are just some of the soaps I picked up recently that you might want to try as well!
Yardley London is a household staple here, their delightful soaps are widely available and the prices don’t break the bank. I was sent three different scents to try: Jasmine Pearl, Shea Buttermilk, and Cocoa Butter that is actually already sitting by the sink.The fragrances are pleasant but not overwhelming, like it often happens with most scented soaps. I love that the bars are oval-shaped, which makes them easier to hold and to use.
In the shower I usually stick with my long-time favorites, either from L’Occitane or The Body Shop. Recently I bought a full-sized bar of L’Occitane Extra-Gentle Soap in Verbena scent, and a travel-sized bar in Milk, which I sometimes use for the face to take off extra stubborn makeup. It’s actually one of the few soaps that don’t irritate my skin when used for makeup removal, so I am not super adventurous here. The verbena scent is very strong and overpowering! It can fill the room with its bitter citrusy fragrance in a snap, and sometimes I even use them as potpourri 🙂
You probably already know that Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensee is one of my favorite fragrances, and I recently picked up a soap bar with the same scent. Let’s just say it’s going to be my special bar of soap that I will use when I’m feeling fancy.
A LA MAISON Sweet Almond soap bar was a lucky TJ Maxx find that I just had to get [it was around 3 bucks]. If you adore L’Occitane’s Sweet Almond line, this one is the perfect dupe for that sweet and nutty fragrance!
