Wonderbar can’t do wonders in the shower…on your skin at least!

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Now on your hair as a shampoo, well that’s a different story and a different blog post.  We are talking skin here…and this is what we have heard several times: “I tried it a few times in the shower and…”  or “My Wonderbar melted in the shower and I didn’t have the chance to try it again…” or “I used the Wonderbar everyday and it didn’t do a thing!”.  This last statement always makes us suspect the shower!

Well, if you are using your bar in the shower like a facial or body soap, then it really won’t do much, but clean your skin.  The Wonderbar is intended to be lathered on the skin and then allowed to dry, like a treatment.   This is why the instructions say ‘let sit for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing’.  If not allowed to dry, then it can’t do its job.  The best way to use the bar is to lather it all over your face, neck and/or other body parts and let it sit to dry…before you get into the shower.  Then shower and rinse.  Be sure to apply in the evening as well!  You can leave it on your body through the night, but most people rinse their face (although we do have the occasional addict, who will leave it on 24/7!).

So keep it by your sink.  You will find that it lasts MUCH longer this way too.  And remember, the Wonderbar works very well as a shampoo in the shower, but as a scalp treatment, the above will apply.  Leave it to dry before rinsing!

How do I store the Wonderbar?

QUESTION: How do you suggest it be stored? On a soap tray? In a container? Left out in the open?

ANSWER: Simply store it on a soap dish with drain holes or slots.   Try waving it in the air for a second to dry it faster before you set it down.  It dries very quickly, anyway, but still can get a little stuck if you set it down really wet or covered in suds.  For traveling, you can use a little mesh bag or just put it right into your dop kit dry…remember too that with anti-bacterial properties, you don’t need to worry that bacteria will grow on the bar in the open air.
