How to keep your skin happy all season.

Have you ever wondered how people keep their skin soft and smooth all year? Let me unleash the secret. In just a few steps you too can have fresh glowing skin all year. 

First off, if you are tired of trying to keep your skin soft then stop wasting your time on commercial soap. Liquid soaps can be harsh on your skin because they remove natural oils. Instead grab the bar soap, a natural moisturizer containing glycerin. Handmade bar soap like the ones made here at Clever Rabbit, are chemical-free and use only natural ingredients like coco butter, olive oil and essential oils. They moisturize your skin deeply, which causes it to be more resilient in the cold winter months and even in the scorching heat. Your skin will love you for it!

How to keep your skin moisturized and looking healthy in four steps:

1. Exfoliation

Did you know that using an exfoliant followed by a moisturizer can make all the difference in how your skin looks? When we're young, our skin is supple and smooth. But as we age, our skin becomes dry and dull. Using an exfoliator is a great way to keep your skin smooth all season. Exfoliation sluffs off old dead skin cells.  Dead cells and dirt clog pores, making the skin look rough and dull. Exfoliation is an essential skincare tip to clear your skin pores from excess oils and impurities and encourage cellular circulation. By exfoliating, new cells replace dead skin cells.  You might think of it as the top layer peels away revealing the velvety-soft skin below.

Moreover, exfoliation clears bacteria and dirt and prevents clogged pores and breakouts.  Exfoliators are often seen in the form of cleansers and scrubs. Here are Clever Rabbit we add exfoliants in the form or clays, herbs and ground botanicals. Our natural bar soap works as both an exfoliant and a skin-nourishing product. It has pure essential oils and conditioning agents that turn over cells and carry out deep cleansing. Regular exfoliation is a must to help keep skin smooth, hydrated, radiant, and more youthful. Exfoliate daily or as tolerated.  Let your skin be your guide. 

2. Moisturizer

After you exfoliate, be sure to apply a moisturizer to the skin. Good moisturizers can hydrate and keep your skin from becoming dry. When the weather changes your skin tends to become drier. It is important to keep your body hydrated even during the colder times of the year.  A good moisturizer coats skin in oils and butters, attracts moisture, slows aging, and helps to prevent dry patches.

If you are serious about achieving smooth skin, add moisturizers with humectants like sweet almond oil, avocado oil, honey, wax, aloe vera, lactic acid or glycerin to your skincare routine. These quickly restore moisture to the skin.

At Clever Rabbit, our lotions main ingredients include natural humectants.  For example, our Lemongrass Lotion is both made with sweet almond oil and avocado oil.  It's a sweet combination of creamy lotion with an invigorating,  aroma.  Feel the velvety texture on your face and hands after moisturizing them. 

3. Sunscreen

Whether going for a beach vacation or heading out on cloudy days, do not forget to apply sunscreen.  Do you know sunscreen makes your skin smooth and acts as a protective layer? Sunscreen stops UV rays from penetrating your skin. It maintains the original skin tone and prevents premature aging signs.

4. Stressors

Did you know that stress can make your skin even more vulnerable? To keep your skin radiant, kick undue stress to the curb!  Try meditation apps, regular moderate exercise and deep breathing.  

Bottom Line:

Keeping skin fresh and vibrant is possible! Different skin types require different exfoliants; make sure you find the one that works best for you. Don't let your complexion be rough and dull; healthier skin is equivalent to smoother skin.

Taking care of your skin is not just skin deep; it can also help improve your mood and mental health. Looking for exfoliators and moisturizers to keep your skin smooth? Grab bar soaps and lotions from Clever Rabbit Soap to experience healthy skin all year long!
