Cleveland Clinic Study: Castile Soap for FALL Dry Skin

As the seasons shift, many women over 40 notice their skin feels tighter, drier, and more reactive. Fall is the perfect time to choose a cleanser that protects your barrier instead of stripping it.

Why Castile Soap Belongs in a Fall Routine

As temperatures drop, moisture loss and irritation increase, especially for women 40+. Many conventional cleansers rely on harsh surfactants that over-cleanse and leave skin tight. Castile soap (a natural, oil-derived cleanser) provides an elegant alternative: it cleanses effectively without stripping, helping your barrier hold onto hydration.

What the Cleveland Clinic highlights about castile soap:

• Barrier-friendly cleansing for dry/sensitive skin
• Fewer common irritants, suitable for eczema-prone and maturing skin
• Works well as face wash, body wash, and hand soap in cooler months

 

My Fall Skincare Ritual (Research-backed, Oil-Rich)

This is the simple, prevention-centered routine I share in the video, designed to protect the skin barrier, relieve dryness fast, and build long-term resilience.

1) Cleanse with Castile Soap (Face, Body, Hands)

A gentle daily cleanse that avoids the “squeaky” stripped feeling.

2) Polish: Organic Coconut Oil Face & Body Polish (Vanilla shown)

A 5-in-1 daily essential that exfoliates, moisturizes, cleanses, removes makeup (even waterproof), and doubles as a luxe shave oil; all while supporting the barrier.

3. Mango Butter Face & Body Crème (Citrus Flora featured in video)

To finish, I apply the Crème from face to toes. Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, it locks in hydration with a satin, non-greasy finish. This keeps the barrier strong against fall and winter dryness.

How to Use (Daily, 5 minutes)

1. Cleanse with castile soap (face/body/hands). Rinse.
2. In the shower, massage Polish onto wet skin; let sugar dissolve and organic coconut oil melt in. Rinse and pat dry.
3. Apply Crème immediately after (face, under eyes, neck, chest, arms, & hands).

What to expect: Comfort after one use; smoother texture and visible glow within 7 days; stronger barrier by week 4.

Key takeaways (skin-barrier first):

Castile soap is a gentle, plant-based cleanser that supports the skin barrier, which is ideal for dry, sensitive, eczema-prone, and mature skin. Using castile soap with oil-rich, filler-free care (Organic Coconut Oil Face & Body Polish and Mango Butter Face & Body Crème) keeps skin comfortable now and resilient all season. Expect relief after one use and a visible glow in 7 days with daily use.
