Eucalyptus also helps widen arteries to improve blood circulation and clear your sinuses, resulting in feeling awake and being able to breathe better when under your the weather.

Simply follow the 10 step guide below to learn more.

1. What is Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus oil is derived from the top branches and leaves of the Eucalyptus Tree (aka Fever Tree or Blue Gum Tree), which is native to Australia and cultivated worldwide.

Packed with Eucalyptol and Cineole, the oil found in the leaves has many medicinal benefits. This oil is bursting with goodness, including analgesic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiseptic, decongestant, deodorant, and stimulating properties.

For these reasons, it’s considered one of the many magic ingredients we add to Nōbl soap. It is even known to help with athlete’s foot, sinuses, fatigue, cleansing, insect bites, and so much more.

2. Wash your hands and locate a clean washcloth

Studies show that handwashing with soap and water is the single most effective way to prevent hygiene-related illnesses.

Many times, the reason we become sick in the first place is by touching our face, eyes, and mouth with dirty hands.

Because of this, as with any daily cleansing of your face and body, it is recommended to wash your hands frequently throughout the day, and especially before washing your face. It’s also always important to use a clean washcloth.

3. Should you or should you not exfoliate

With a total area of about 20 square feet, your skin is the largest organ of your body that protects us from microbes and chemicals while retaining vital nutrients. It also provides a shield from ultraviolet rays and harmful effects.

Because of this, our skin constantly endures abuse, which results in dead skin cells and buildup. Using a soap that exfoliates will smooth out your skin, clear your pores, better prepare it to absorb serums and creams, as well as improve your complexion.

Poppy Seeds in natural soap are a great exfoliant because they too are natural and gentle on the skin. When combined with the benefits of eucalyptus, they work magic on your skin.

4. Treats Oily Skin

For maximum results, it is recommended to apply soap with eucalyptus essential oil directly on your body using a circular motion in a hot shower with lots of steam.

The thick lather from the soap contains eucalyptus oil which has anti-inflammatory properties. It helps break up impurities and is especially helpful for, oily skin, athletes’ foot, eczema, or acne prone skin.

For your daily routine or when under the weather, we recommend using Money Maker soap daily, morning and night, while in a hot shower.

5. Using eucalyptus in the shower

When using natural eucalyptus soap in the shower, the steam from the shower works as a delivery agent, which not only helps break down bacteria and directly cleanses your skin, but also allows the eucalyptus scent and oils to enter your respiratory system.

When eucalyptus oil enters our body, we soon become more alert, our sinuses clear up, and we start to feel better. Yes, we get that Money Maker attitude going again!

The best way to benefit from eucalyptus vapor is to run a hot shower for 2-3 minutes. Once the shower is steamy, step in with a bar of Money Maker soap and start lathering up, while taking deep breaths.

As the soap becomes wet and lathers up, it releases the essential oils into the hot steam, giving you a shower full of steaming eucalyptus.

6. Take deep breaths

The benefits of Money Maker soap do not stop with awesome skin. When using this eucalyptus soap, take deep breaths to help boost mental clarity, relieve coughs, clear sinuses, alleviate headaches and so much more.

Inhale, take a full breath, holding it for 2-3 seconds, and then fully exhale. It is recommended to repeat this 10-20 times for maximum results.

7. How to remove eucalyptus essential oil soap

Once done washing and taking deep breaths in the shower, rinse your feet, body, and face with warm water. Then, pat dry with a clean towel.

8. Apply serums, creams, and moisturizers

Now that your skin is still moist and warm from cleansing and exfoliation with the top layer of dead skin cells removed, your skin is perfectly prepared to accept serums, creams, and moisturizers, where they can deeply penetrate the skin and be most effective.

While your skin is still moist and warm, apply your favorite serum or cream for even more hydration and healing.

9. How often you should exfoliate your face, hands, feet, and skin?

For your face, most experts recommend you only exfoliate once or twice a week. Exfoliating too often may strip your skin’s protective layer or, even worse, cause micro-tears to form, which may weaken the skin’s barrier.

For your feet, they require a bit more attention, it is recommended to treat your feet three to four times a week with a mild exfoliant, such as True Grit exfoliant scrub soap. If the skin on the bottom of your feet becomes tender, then you may want to change up your routine.

For the rest of your body, most health experts agree that one to three times a week is plenty. If your skin is overly sensitive, you might think about exfoliating less.

10. Suits Every Skin Type

Keep in mind that the purpose of skin cleansing is to remove dead skin cells. You should not have to scrub too hard or too often to make that happen. If you do, you are likely to remove healthy cells, which might leave your skin looking red and feeling sore.

This also holds true when using harsh chemicals. It’s important to always treat your skin with care by only using products that are natural and full of goodness. Products that are made with 100% kindness and have the best that nature has to offer.

Store on a well-draining soap tray or a lift, where air can circulate to keep the soap dry between uses.

Please note that due to the handmade nature of Nōbl soap, color shades, swirl styles, and weight may vary slightly. Each bar is unique!
