As a skincare expert with 20 years of experience at Ami Soap, I’ve noticed a frustrating trend among consumers: skin that feels "drier the more you wash." Even with expensive body lotions, issues like itching and flaking persist.
The truth is, the root of the problem often isn't what you are applying to your skin—it’s what you are stripping away during cleansing.
1. The Essential Difference: Industrial Bars vs. Ami Handmade Soap
Most soaps found in supermarkets are not technically "soap." They are synthetic detergent bars.
The Industrial Logic: To maximize profit, large factories extract the natural glycerin produced during the soap-making process to sell separately as an ingredient for high-end face creams. What’s left is a harsh, dry base that relies on synthetic foaming agents (like SLS) to create lather.
The Ami Logic: Our Artisan Soaps retain 100% of their natural glycerin. Glycerin acts as a natural "moisture magnet," drawing hydration from the air and locking it into your skin.
2. The Power of Ingredients: Not Just Cleaning, But "Feeding"
At Ami Soap, we believe skincare starts with the first step of cleansing.
Crystal Series: If you crave a refreshing feel and maximum hydration, our Amber Crystal Bar is the gold standard. Its ultra-high glycerin content leaves the skin with a "translucent glow" that ordinary bars simply cannot replicate.
Goat Milk Series: For those struggling with sensitivity or eczema, our Silk & Goat Milk Bar utilizes small-molecule lactic and fatty acids. It gently exfoliates dead skin cells while repairing your skin barrier, acting more like a solid moisturizer than a cleanser.
💡 Pro-Tip: How to Extend the Life of Your Handmade Soap
Since you’ve invested in a premium skincare experience, here are a few tips to protect your bar:
Keep it High and Dry: Natural glycerin is humectant (it loves water). Use a well-draining soap dish to prevent the bar from sitting in a puddle, which can cause the glycerin to over-absorb moisture and soften the soap.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Natural plant oils and essential oils can oxidize faster under direct UV rays.
The "Rotation" Method: If possible, rotate between two bars. Allowing each bar enough time to fully dry between uses can extend its lifespan by up to 30%.
Conclusion
The skincare trend of 2026 is no longer about aggressive cleaning; it’s about "Defensive Skincare." Replace that chemical detergent in your shower with an Ami Handmade Soap for just one week. You will notice that the lingering tightness disappears, replaced by your skin’s natural softness and radiance.
