It is safe to say that right now you are collecting plastic bottles around the rim of your bathtub. How could you throw away such an invaluable resource when there is still some liquid left in it? Cleverly designed television commercials have brainwashed us into thinking that liquids have to be clean. In fact, this is the only marketing technique that makes us transport heavy bottles of water from the store.

The solid bar soap is making a tremendous comeback, but not among only the old ladies in the family. There are many quality items available today including Kirk’s Castile and Dr. Bronner’s soap that lathers nicely. The main thing is that you save money since you do not have to pay for the water and all of that additional plastic. All of these savings are going straight to your pension fund.

Switching from liquid to the solid shampoo is going to take some time since your hair might resist the transition at first. “Transition period” sounds quite intimidating, but in reality, it means nothing and usually takes just a few days. You should buy yourself a good self-draining soap dish to keep your shampoo firm and lasting longer. There are some companies like Ethique and Lush that manufacture highly concentrated shampoos that work great and will not dry your scalp, thus, giving you a lot of insights every morning.

Do not lie since there are two small disadvantages that have to be noted. You cannot leave your bars sitting in the puddle since they will turn into slime sooner or later. Your skin might need a week to adapt to the increased pH value and becomes tight. But it is definitely worth it since you will not need to carry those heavy plastic bags from the supermarket anymore.

It is really easy to make the transition from liquid to all-solid beauty products even if you used the former all your life. Just buy yourself a sampler pack next time you make a purchase on Amazon to see how you like the new scents. After that, there is no going back to the liquid bottle.
