This is a very long overdued review, and I feel bad for always procrastinating and putting it off, but now that my eczema is back to haunt me, I am reminded of this soap I used several months ago.

I brought this bar of soap back from the States last year, and it was sitting on the rack in my bathroom, untouched.  Okay, I have to admit that I sort of forgot all about it.  Then my skin started to feel itchy and dry using the regular soaps and body shampoos I used to use back in Malaysia.  I don’t know why, but perhaps my skin was just overly sensitive.  On top of that, eczema came back to visit my fingers!

I knew I had to do something, and THEN I suddenly remembered that bar of Skin Free Extra Moisturing Soap.  My first impression of it was that it lathers really well, and I love that it was totally unscented!  After a few days of using it, my eczema miraculously healed, and my skin was less itchy.

I later found out that this soap had been awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance August, 2008. That certainly says something, huh?

Although the soap tended to get a little mushy and soft after a while, I found out that it was because it had to be dried out after each use.  The instructions on the product information page says:

Prolong the Life of Your Soap: Be sure to remove it from the shower area and allow to thoroughly dry after use.

The soap lasted quite a while too, and I was honestly sorry when it ran out.  This soap retails for just USD3.99 for a 3.5oz bar but it is only available in the United States.  For other great Skin Free products, do check out the Skin Free website.

I’m looking forward to trying out their Sweet & Smooth Sugar Scrub next
