You probably haven’t had the desire to switch to a bar soap since your Mom introduced you to them when you were little and have always been reluctant to pick one up in a hotel or guest bathroom. But they’re one of the most underrated bathroom essentials out there.

Once you learn how to grip them properly (which will be a hell of a lot easier now you have bigger hands), they can make you feel cleaner than ever before without being harsh on the skin. With the majority of the ingredients sourced from nature, bar soaps are more gentle on the skin and the environment.

1. Jack Black Turbo Body Bar

This exfoliating bar soap from Jack Black means business. It naturally exfoliates the skin with lava rock whilst moisturizing with murumuru and shea butter. Exfoliating dead skin cells can seriously soften and brighten your skin.

Our skin naturally sheds millions of dead skin cells a day but sometimes they can get trapped on the surface of our skin, especially if you suffer from oily skin which works like a Venus flytrap. A build-up of dead skin cells can cause the skin to appear dull. Using an exfoliating bar soap will help to remove any of the remaining dead skin cells for healthier, more radiant skin – so we say get scrubbing already!
