Why Artisan Soap Makes The Best Gift

By Pamela Gibson


There are some people that are not easy to buy presents for. The majority of gift givers, or procrastinators, may go with the gift card. Or if they really lack time or discipline, order an electronic gift card that is sent to the email of the recipient almost immediately. While these are practical gifts, and assuming some are appreciated, there are other options for the person who may be picky or may have many gift cards stacked up somewhere in their home. Artisan soap is not the decorative soap given in some box sets of generations past, it actually works and feels good on the skin.

While these cleansing bars may come in a multitude of colors, it does not take away from their overall effectiveness. Bright blues, passionate pinks, or various shades of green not commonly found in commercial soaps does not equal an inferior product. In fact, more people are finding the opposite to be true, as this type of soap contains nothing but natural ingredients. Most commercial brands take away the glycerin and add the same detergent used for cleaning clothes and dishes.

Anyone who loves fruity scents, florals, or a little of both will find most soaps of this kind to be soothing without being overpowering. While some strong scents may be pleasing for a moment, there are some disadvantages to wearing these chemicals throughout the day. Firstly, when combined with natural body scents, these artificial scents can be distracting to others. The other reason is that they can irritate skin and cause rashes.

Most people also associate certain scents with being clean, especially if it is strong or lingers hours after bathing. Even if these products are on the pricey side, this does not make them ideal for daily use. Anyone who has to follow their cleansing routine with a generous layer of lotion may find that their daily cleansing product is to blame.

However, the real benefit is how these natural soaps leave the skin feeling afterward. Detergents found in commercial hygiene products contain little to no glycerin and with the addition of more chemicals and preservatives, this can leave skin feeling dry. Skin that is extremely dry is more prone to crack and become itchy.

For those who do not care for scents but want more elasticity, these cleansers can do this without much else. Bars that have aloe vera and vitamin e are good for adding more natural collagen to the skin. The results are gradual and it will not reverse the clock but the skin has a more supple feel after several uses. While lotion or an SPF moisturizer may be recommended when going out in extreme weather conditions, unless advised by a physician, this is usually optional.

Because there are no additives, the shelf life of these cleansers is limited. However, just like the food most of us eat, anything that is enhanced with preservatives is not good to consume every day. The same theory applies to skincare and hair products.

Because this type of cleanser is so visually appealing, it makes a nice gift. There are many scents from which to choose and there are even some formulas that can minimize the appearance of acne scars and other imperfections. Some soap makers also have hair products and other accompaniments that are made from the same nutrient rich ingredients.
