6 reasons to try this natural shower gel

11th March 2022 by Amy Greenburg 3 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/benefits-of-olive-oil-shower-gel-natural-aleppo-soap/

Your resolution to live cleaner in 2022 doesn’t have to stop with your diet! Switching to natural soap and other chemical-free skincare products is a great way to kick-start healthier habits. Here’s why Aleppo soap shower gel is a worthy addition to your clean routine; plus, the unexpected benefits of olive oil for your skin!

#1 Aleppo soap is chemical-free with minimal ingredients

Aleppo soap is a natural soap that’s been around for ages. Seriously – it dates back to the eighth century! Named for the city in which it was first made – Aleppo, Syria – traditional Aleppo soap is handmade with olive oil, sodium hydroxide (lye) and laurel oil using a hot process in which the ingredients are boiled for days, then poured over wax paper to cool and harden. The soap is cut into cubes and stamped with the soap artisan’s name, then aged for about seven months. During this time, the outside of the soap turns from green to its trademark’s yellow or brown colour.

Some people prefer shower gel over bar soap. Luckily, you can now get the same chemical-free formula in liquid form, with Aleppo Soap’s shower gel. Like the bar soap, the shower gel’s only ingredients are olive oil, lye and laurel oil. This means you’ll be squeaky clean, but without all of the toxins found in other soaps.

#2 It can help with a variety of skin problems

Traditional Aleppo Soap is for anyone looking for a natural, chemical-free soap. In fact, Aleppo soap can even be used by those with super sensitive skin. And, thanks to the combined benefits of olive oil and bay laurel oil, the natural soap has been show to help with a variety of skin problems. Olive oil acts as a moisturiser, while laurel oil is a great cleanser, thanks to its antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Together, the two work to calm inflammation, irritation and redness.

Skin problems that Aleppo Soap has shown to help include acne, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, irritated skin and also scalp problems.

Even those without actual skin problems can benefit from the natural soap. The bay laurel oil makes it a more effective disinfectant than regular soap without over-drying or irritating skin.

#3 It’s great for all skin types

This natural soap is for any skin type. Olive oil is hypoallergenic, so there’s no need to worry about nasty skin reactions. This makes it possible for everyone in the family, including babies and adults, to take advantage of the natural olive oil benefits.

 #4 It’s a three-in-one cleanser 

Use Aleppo Soap to wash face, body and scalp! In fact, as a shampoo, Aleppo soap can be effective for oily scalps, itchy scalps and dandruff caused by seborrhoeic dermatitis. 

#5 It’s naturally rich in vitamins

Olive oil is a natural source of essential nutrients and vitamins. This includes vitamins, which can help improve your skin’s appearance by improving acne and pigmentation, and preventing breakouts. Vitamin A is also beloved for its collagen-promoting properties that can leave skin looking firmand radiant. Its beta carotene content can help stimulate the growth of new cells, promoting a more glowing, youthful appearance.

Vitamin E is among the other benefits of olive oil. It’s antioxidant properties fight inflammation, help slow the effects of free radicals, and prevent and treat dry, itchy skin.

#6 It’s a natural soap that doubles as an anti-ageing beauty regimen

Another one of the many benefits of olive oil? It’s considered to be an effective anti-ageing solution, as it contains oleic acid and polyphenols. These important components work together to improve the skin’s texture and tone, while also combating early signs of ageing.

And, because olive oil is so nourishing, it can help replenish the oils that our skin loses as we get older. In turn, it creates a much smoother complexion, including minimised wrinkles and a healthy glow.
