Regular washing will help rid them of dust and makeup residue that has accumulated over time. Gently soap the brushes without crushing them too much so as not to break the bristles. Repeat washing until the water is clear. Dry them with a dry cloth, then turn them upside down so that the brushes return to their original shape.

Store Marseille soap in a shaded, dry place. It is in fact a living material with a complexion and a shape that can evolve over time and depending on its exposure to air, humidity and light. It will nevertheless retain all its qualities and effectiveness. Our grandmothers let it dry for months in their cupboards so that it becomes extra-dry and lasts longer with use.

Use a cheese grater to make shavings from a cube or a bar of Marseille soap. We recommend that you preferably use beige vegetable soap which will be harder and easier to grate than olive soap.
