During the winter months many people suffer from cracked or dry skin. It is because the moisture is stripped away during cold weather, elevated heat temperatures inside the home and lack of moisture in the air. It’s uncomfortable, embarrassing and can make even the simplest motion of bending a finger a painful occurrence.

Glycerin which is commonly found in handmade soaps is a natural part of fat or oil. Glycerin soaps are believed to help replenish and add moisture. While not designed to specifically cure chapped skin, handmade glycerin soap does help rejuvenate the natural texture of the skin surface. It is healthy for the skin and less likely to cause irritation. In fact, many users have found that handmade glycerine soap may be beneficial to those who have sensitive skin.
