their yummy and lovely scents. They all keep your skin moisturized
after every shower. Your skin will feel softer and look healthier with
regular use.

*These are scent imitations of foods, fruits, flowers, leaves, and
spices. They make up the small percentage of what is not natural in my
handmade soaps. The reason I still use them is because I want all my
users to have a choice. Those who have normal skin or who do not mind
such ingredients can still enjoy the goodness of my handmade soaps with
their favorite scents. But those with sensitive or problem skin are
best to stick with my 100% NATURAL variants. BY NATURE Handmade Soaps
uses only high-quality and premium fragrance oils.

Pros
- individually packed with sticker written the functions of each soap variant
- unscented ones don't have scents AT ALL
- scented ones like the Tangy Orange I've tried smells wonderful!
- very moisturizing, skin feels soft and moisturized
- bar's texture is like butter, but does not melt like butter
- the bar does not melt quickly as compared to other hand made soaps
- no allergies or skin irritations
- inexpensive
Cons
- not for people who hates online shopping!
- choosing is difficult as there are so many variants online!
Overall
Testing these handmade soaps does not feel like "testing" at all as I grew to love them! On days, I don't like using scented soaps as I'd rather smell the scent of my lotion rather than the mixture of lotion and soap! So using an unscented version works really well for me. On days I needed the "wake up call" or the "perk up", I use the Tangy Orange and it can make me smile! Not the strong orangey scent but a hint of nice, natural fruit flavor!
I have to say the moisture is great too! My skin does not flake even without lotion! Wonderful addition inside my bathroom!
Tips
- use a soap dish to keep them dry after usage
- gently lather thee soap then massage them all over your body
- you can use a loofah for gentle scrubbing
- I don't wash the soap right away, I prefer leaving it a bit longer. You can choose to massage your hair with conditioner to save time!
- order together with a friend to save up on shipping!
- perfect as gifts!
Will I repurchase?
Yes!

ReplyDeleteI recently joined the By Nature bandwagon. I was planning to get Cocoa Butter Melt and Sea Mud Pie. Might try that next after I use up the 2 bars. :P Thanks for the review. I noticed that it doesn't easily melt too. :)
ReplyDeletesounds like another fabulous product. Share with us your makeup workshop ya..thanks
ReplyDeleteI'd have to agree that it's so difficult to choose which variant to cart first because there are so many variants available! :D
ReplyDeletePammy -- I'm also surprised on how long the bars stay solid considering they don't have synthetic preservatives. :) Talk about value for money!
