Using Glycerin Soap for Skin Conditions

We all want skin with a clear complexion and healthy glow. We oftentimes buy expensive products to eliminate blemishes and keep skin full of moisture. Unfortunately, the majority of soaps found at your local grocery store contain chemicals and additives that adversely affect the texture and appearance of your skin. Nowadays, an increasing number of people are discovering the benefits of glycerin soaps that not only pamper sensitive skin, but also treat common skin conditions.

Many commercial soaps dry out the skin and can even cause unnecessary irritation. With glycerin soap, you can take advantage of its humectant properties, which work to attract moisture. Due to the power of vegetable-based oils, glycerin soaps offers natural benefits that hydrate the skin and keep it supple. Handcrafted glycerin soap also helps treat medical issues, such as eczema, acne, and psoriasis.

Eczema

Traditional soaps generally contain alcohol, lye, petroleum, and other unforgiving chemicals that worsen skin conditions, like eczema. To treat eczema, choose glycerin soap and goat milk soap, which actually encourages skin to heal. Keeping skin moisturized is an effective approach towards easing the symptoms of eczema, which include itchy, dry, thickened skin that usually attacks the face, hands, neck, and legs. Containing gentle pieces of oatmeal, our Milk and Honey handcrafted soap not only looks soothingly attractive, but also smells divine.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis causes skin to exfoliate at a faster rate, where new skin appears before older cells are shed. The condition creates thick patches of itchy and scaly skin on the hands, elbows, back, feet and scalp. While there is no cure for this skin condition, treatments can help control symptoms. For example, replace regular bath soaps with non-irritating glycerin soaps made with natural ingredients. Choose glycerin soaps that contain oatmeal to soothe inflammation. Magic Senses offers a spectacular Oatmeal Collection that provides the relaxing scents of lavender, almond and sandalwood – perfect for treating not only the physical symptoms of a skin condition, but also the anxiety.

Acne

Glycerin soap also serves as an effective natural acne treatment, as it gently cleanses without drying out the skin or aggravating existing blemishes. With nothing but natural ingredients, Magic Senses helps you tame unbalanced skin and reclaim a healthy clear complexion in a variety of well-known and exotic fragrances, including Freesia, Honeysuckle Dew, and Spiced Apple.

5 Uses for Cranberry Glycerin Soap

Cranberry Handcrafted Glycerin Soap from MagicSenses.comOur handcrafted Cranberry glycerin soap offers a refreshing display with an attractive clear red base and bright red curls. A normal shower or bath becomes a rush of crushed cranberries accompanied by a sweet scent that fully awakens the senses. Handcrafted with love and natural ingredients, Magic Senses Cranberry soap is much more than a holiday bestseller. Below you will find five enchanting ways to use one of our most popular glycerin soaps:

1. Housewarming Gift

There’s nothing like a housewarming gift that warms the mind and body. While loved one(s) unpack their belongings and settle into a new home, lessen their stress with a moisturizing soap drenched in the soothing scent of vibrant cranberries.

2. Festive Bathroom Décor

The scent of cranberry soap is uplifting and lively, making it the perfect addition to energize drab bathroom décor. Use the soaps to outfit guest bathrooms with a treat for visitors – a moisturizing bar of handcrafted soap made with fragrance oils and hypoallergenic vegetable glycerin.

3. Bath and Beauty Gift Basket

When you’re at a loss for gift ideas, handcrafted soaps offer a thoughtful (and functional) gesture for family and friends. With a decorative basket lined with a few pieces of red tissue paper, create a fragrant gift topped with curled ribbons for romantic occasions or joyful holidays. For the fruit lover, pair our cranberry soap with another Magic Senses’ fruity selection, such as Grapefruit, Lime Cooler, or Mango Papaya.

4. A Workplace Treat

Add a touch of class to the office restroom by creating a small basket of cranberry glycerin soaps, which not only provides a visual treat, but also adds an inviting scent to the setting. During special occasions, give handcrafted soap to co-workers as gifts – for birthdays, Secret Santa exchanges, or retirement parties.

Why Handmade Glycerin Soaps Make Great Gifts

With so many colors, designs and scents to choose from, you can really add a personal feel to your gift. Based on the person you are buying for, you can choose a soap that is unique to their tastes. Plus, with the large range of choices, everyone on your list can get something different.

The fact that you have taken the time to pick the perfect soap for each person is just one way to show how much you care. Added to that is the fact that handcrafted glycerin soaps are much better for the person using it. Gone are all the nasty chemicals that can be found in commercially produced soap. Instead, all natural ingredients are used to make each soap.

With vegetable glycerin used as the base, the soaps are highly moisturizing, making the skin of all who use them much softer. Everyone will love the feel of the soft lather of the glycerin soaps and will be thanking you for the improvement of their skin. The tone, the texture, everyone about the person’s skin will look healthier and younger.

Handmade glycerin soaps are truly the gift that keeps on giving. Each time the soap is used, thoughts will turn to you and your thoughtful gift. From gift baskets to stocking stuffers and everything in between, the personal touch of adding a handmade glycerin soap from Magic Senses will be felt by all.
