How to Have Soft and Irresistible Skin this Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day is right around the corner! Luckily for you, Bend Soap Company has you covered when it comes to looking and feeling your best this Valentine's Day!

When you think of Valentine's Day, you might think of candy hearts, boxes of chocolates, flowers, or candlelit dinners. You probably don't think of healthy, glowing skin.

Whether you are a man or a woman, the first thing that probably comes to mind when stepping out to meet your partner or date on Valentine's Day is to look good. But what about feeling good!

As much as we love this romantic holiday, it's such a pain that it lands smack-dab in the middle of winter when our skin is driest and dullest. How unromantic! Dry, winter skin is not only itchy and uncomfortable, but it looks unattractive too! While the thought may be a bit embarrassing, there's no need to worry—it happens to the best of us.

If you have plans with a special someone, these tips are going to make you irresistible. Even if you plan to spend the day solo, why not feel and smell great for you? Treat yourself with healthy, glowing skin! Engaging in self-care for your skin is a powerful reminder that the largest organ in your body deserves love too! Treating your skin right and loving the results can form a virtuous cycle that ultimately improves your confidence—and even your relationships!

Whether you're celebrating a new budding love or a life-long romance, Valentine's Day is the perfect time to fall in love with your skin.

Here are a few tips to have soft, irresistible skin this Valentine's Day. 

Exfoliate! 

Bend Soap Co. Scrubs feature exfoliating sugar cane or sea salt, deeply hydrating oils, and a dash of honey! Our 100% natural sugar scrubs will leave your skin soft, smooth, and hydrated all day AND night. Regular skin exfoliation allows you to scrub away dead skin cell buildup on your body and reveal newer, younger-looking skin.

For best results, buff away rough, dry skin by applying the scrub in gentle, circular motions for best results. An ideal exfoliant for your entire body — face included! Exfoliating salt and sugar crystals gently slough away dead skin cells easily, creating a clean and clear pathway beneath the new skin cells. This allows our rich blend of non-GMO coconut and olive oils to nourish and moisturize the new skin below effectively.

Exfoliating is a quick way to brighten and make your skin glow. You’ll be blessed with perfectly polished, silky smooth skin.

Pay special attention to those extra dry and rough spots: Don't forget to exfoliate your elbows, ankles, and knees! 

Accessorize Your Bath!

Try our luxurious All-Natural Milk Baths! Milk baths are a staple self-care practice for both men and women, just like they have been for centuries. Cleopatra was renowned throughout history for her glowing and youthful skin, which she proudly attributed to her frequent milk bath soaks.

The milk bath gets to work while you soak, releasing the delightful aroma and therapeutic qualities of essential oils and leaving your skin soft, supple, rejuvenated, and moisturized. Soak 10-20 minutes or more to get irresistibly soft skin. Once you soak in a warm bath with a handful of our milk baths, it's hard to go back to anything else!

Lather and Exfoliate with an All-Natural Loofah

Our All-Natural Loofah is perfect for you if you love natural products! Unlike the common nylon loofahs, our All-Natural Loofah Bag is crafted from sisal, part of the agave plant. This raw material is both exfoliating and gentle. The loofah fibers scrub off dead skin cells without irritating the skin. Our favorite part about this loofah bag is how well it lathers — it creates TONS of moisturizing bubbles! Throw in a bar of your favorite goat milk soap and say goodbye to dry, flaky skin for good.

Get Super Soft Feet with an All-Natural Foot Scrub Brush 

Our All-Natural Foot Scrub Brush is an exfoliating powerhouse! The stiff natural bristles easily remove the unsightly, dry, dead skin cells which form those tough calluses on your feet, especially the heel. It's time to say hello to beautiful, soft, healthy feet!

Use the All-Natural Foot Scrub Brush after soaking your feet in our milk bath for 5-10 minutes. The goat milk soap naturally contains enzymes that break down the bonds between dead skin cells revealing fresh, soft, super smooth skin!

Bend Soap Co. bath accessories are the perfect companion to add to your next order!

Moisturize!

Skin soaks in everything, which is why it’s so important to moisturize with the vitamins it needs to be healthy! Our All-Natural Goat Milk Lotion is naturally packed with vitamins A, D, B1, B6, B12, C, and E. It works from the inside out, providing your skin with long-lasting moisturization and protection against the elements. Shea butter, rice bran oil, and goat milk naturally moisturize your skin and offer an extra layer of protection to fight dry, itchy skin and keep it looking its best!

Formulated to soothe and nurture even the most sensitive skin, our goat milk lotion delivers a burst of goat milk, hydrating oils, and vitamin E — essentially everything your skin needs to stay hydrated, soft, and healthy. With no synthetic, toxic, or drying ingredients, each application will offer you silky smooth all-day hydration to help relieve dry, itchy skin for good.

Choose a 100% all-natural lotion formulated to deliver and lock in intense moisture and hydration, even hours after application. Our goat milk lotion is thick and creamy, non-oily, goes on smooth, absorbs quickly, and moisturizes your skin like no other lotion you’ve tried before.

Our goat milk lotion is lightly scented with all-natural and organic scents that provide you with a touch of natural fragrance but without being overpowering.

Soften Up Those Hands & Feet!

Your hands and feet see a lot of action, but what is it that causes the skin to dry out, crack, and bleed? The most common cause of dry, cracked skin is damage to the protective outer layer.

Hands and feet are particularly prone to suffering from dryness and cracking, especially in the winter months when your skin can become stressed and hardened from dry, cold air. Smooth and soften your hands and feet with a skin routine that uses all-natural, healthy ingredients!

Bend Soap Co. loves making one product that can do everything, and our All-Natural Salves won’t let your hands and feet down! Use in various ways based on their specific ingredients. Mild enough for everyday use, you’ll find that these soothing balms can help you replace many of the toxic, big-name brand products you already have in your home with safe, effective, all-natural solutions.

Healthy, smooth, irritation-free hands and feet can only be achieved by caring for your skin with the proper nutrients and ingredients!
