Intensive nourishment for balanced skin. Vive Verveine Care Soap is ideal for maintaining comfort in balanced skin or for strengthening it during dry spells. It softens and soothes the skin with sweet almond oil, while enhancing circulation and providing decongestant properties through rice bran oil, rich in microelements and unsaponifiables. Green clay boosts its cleansing and detoxifying abilities by absorbing impurities from the skin. Shea butter complements the formula and enriches the plant-based glycerin, which nourishes the skin and renews its hydrolipidic protection, a source of elasticity, comfort, and cellular activity. The foam of Vive Verveine soap is soft, light, and dense at the same time. Its fragrance, composed of a mono-aroma of organic exotic verbena, is pure harmony with nature, offering a relaxing and invigorating balance of green and citrus notes.
Of course, there's nothing easier than lathering up, as we've done since time immemorial. But the reality is that everything from setting the water temperature to drying your skin and choosing the right soap matters! So, here are some usage tips:

1. Prepare your skin by wetting it with water at a comfortable temperature, but not too hot. Higher temperatures can increase skin irritation and tingling. After showering, the evaporation of water from the skin's surface intensifies, leading to immediate dehydration.

2. Wet the Oppidum soap and rub it directly onto your skin. Focus on the main areas where you'll be applying the soap: hands, chest, shoulders, lower back, thighs, and calves.

3. Lather the soap with your hands on your skin and spread it all over your body. Skin to skin: lathering should be done as gently as possible, avoiding friction and irritation that can be caused by textile fibers.

4. Leave the soap on your skin for a few seconds. This extends its cleansing action and increases the absorption of the soap's natural glycerin by your skin. This is where the rehydrating and restorative care begins.

5. Rinse with clean water, not too hot. Again, excessively high temperatures will reduce the benefits of your soap: it will disrupt the production of sebum necessary for skin hydration and cause excessive moisture evaporation from the skin.

6. Dry your skin by gently patting it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not rub too hard or scratch your skin with textile fibers: excessive rubbing removes the lipid film left on your skin by the soap. This is especially important in winter when temperature contrasts heighten skin sensitivity.
