Maximize Lather: How to Get the Most Out of Your Natural Soap
Share
Have you noticed that your bar soap doesn't lather as much as you'd like? Before you consider switching soaps, it might be worth reviewing your lathering technique. With the right technique, it's easy to get a rich, creamy lather.
Lathering with the Right Technique
To get the best lather, imagine rolling coconut balls – making soft, circular movements with your palms around the bar of soap. This movement gradually builds up the lather in your hands. If you want to extend the lovely lather moment, you can run your thumbs over the soap to really enjoy its texture. Once the soap has delivered its unique lather, place it back on the soap dish. Now let your palms meet and feel the power of the lather arise between your hands as you continue to lather. The soft lather gently cleanses the skin, with each soap's specific properties as an added bonus.
Different Oils, Different Foams
The nature of the lather can vary depending on the oils used in the soap. A soap made solely with olive oil will produce a smaller and slightly sticky lather, but it is still incredibly nourishing and softening for the skin. If the soap contains cocoa butter, you will get a creamy and smooth lather, while coconut oil will give you a fluffy and rich lather. When different oils are combined in soap making, the result can be a lather of unimaginable heights. The bubbles that form can be large or small, but regardless of size, they are a sign that your bar soap is doing its job.
So the next time you use your bar of soap, take the time to enjoy the lather. Each soap has its own unique character and can offer a lather experience that is both cleansing and enjoyable. Let the delicious lather party begin!
