#1 Identify Your Skin Type

  • Dry Skin: Choose from our selection of moisturizing ingredients like glycerin, shea butter or natural oils (e.g., coconut, olive).

  • Oily Skin: Opt for Avanni Soaps with ingredients like tea tree, charcoal, or vitamin C that help control oil and prevent breakouts.

  • Sensitive Skin: Choose hypoallergenic Avanni Soaps that are fragrance-free and made with gentle ingredients to minimize skin irritation.

  • Normal Skin: You can use a variety of Avanni Soaps, but aim for those that balance moisture without being too oily or drying.

#2 Consider Ingredients

  • Natural vs Synthetic: Natural ingredients are better as they are often gentler on the skin. Select Avanni Soaps products that list plant-based oils and butters (all of our soap fall in this category).

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of soaps that contain sulfates, parabens, and artificial fragrances if you have easily irritable skin.

#3 Choose The Right Type of Soap

  • Bar Soap: Often long-lasting and can be more eco-friendly, but ensure it’s well-formulated for your skin type.

  • Liquid Soap: Convenient for handwashing; however, check for moisturizing properties.

  • Glycerin Soap: Known for its hydrating qualities, glycerin is a natural byproduct of the cold-process soapmaking method.

  • Castile Soap: A natural, biodegradable option made from olive oil, gentle for all skin types.

  • Personal Preference: Choose scents that you enjoy, whether floral, citrus, herbal, or unscented (especially if you have sensitive skin).

  • Natural vs. Artificial Scents: If you have sensitive skin, opt for soaps with natural essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances.

#4 Fragrance Preferences

  • If you’re eco-conscious, look for biodegradable soaps or those with minimal packaging.

  • If you travel frequently, consider liquid soaps in travel-sized containers or solid bar soaps that are easy to pack.

#5 Consider Your Lifestyle

  • If possible, test the soap on a small area of your skin to see how it reacts.

  • Pay attention to how your skin feels after using the soap. If it feels dry, itchy, or irritated, consider switching to a different product.

#6 Test and Observe

  • Look for customer reviews online to see others’ experiences with specific soaps.

  • Ask friends or family for recommendations based on their personal experiences.

#7 Read Reviews and Recommendations

  • Consider your budget, but also assess the value based on the quality of ingredients. Investing a little more in a high-quality soap can lead to better skin health.

#8 Price & Value

  • If you have specific skin conditions (like eczema, psoriasis, or several acne), it’s best to consult a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.
