Every January, millions of people take part in Dry January — a month-long reset designed to improve sleep, reduce inflammation, and boost overall wellbeing. But Dry January has evolved.
It’s no longer just about cutting out alcohol.

It’s about creating better habits for your health, your skin, and the planet.

One of the easiest, most effective changes you can make this month?
👉 Switching from liquid washes to solid bars.

In this blog, we’ll explore the health benefits of Dry January AND the science behind why switching to solid bars is one of the simplest ways to support your skin barrier, hair health, your pets, and the environment this month.

🌱 WHAT IS DRY JANUARY?

Dry January is a 31-day commitment to giving up alcohol after the holidays. It helps people:

• reset habits

• improve sleep

• restore hydration

• support their immune system

• reduce inflammation

But an unexpected benefit?
Clearer, calmer skin.

Alcohol dehydrates the skin, disrupts the barrier, increases redness, and can worsen eczema or psoriasis. Removing it — even for one month — can dramatically improve complexion and sensitivity.

💧 HOW DRY JANUARY BENEFITS YOUR SKIN

Here’s what happens to your skin when you go alcohol-free:
✔ Less inflammation
✔ Increased hydration
✔ Brighter complexion
✔ Reduced flare-ups
✔ Stronger skin barrier

But these benefits only go so far if your daily wash routine is still stripping your skin.

Which brings us to…

🧼 WHY DRY JANUARY IS THE PERFECT TIME TO SWITCH TO SOLID BARS

Most liquid soaps contain:
❌ harsh detergents
❌ synthetic fragrances
❌ preservatives
❌ plastic packaging
❌ ingredients that disrupt the skin barrier

SNOAP solid bars contain:
✔ natural moisturisers like glycerin and plant oils
✔ NO single-use plastic
✔ zero harsh foaming agents
✔ nourishing ingredients like oat, hemp, buttermilk or botanicals
✔ pH-friendly formulations

✨ THE BENEFITS OF SWITCHING TO SOLID BARS DURING DRY JANUARY

1. Better for Sensitive Skin

Many customers report eczema and/or psoriasis flare-ups disappearing since switching to SNOAP because the bars protect, rather than strip, the skin barrier.

2. Better for Your Hair

Your scalp rebalances itself quickly when you stop using detergent-heavy liquid shampoo.
Customers tell us:
✨ “I used to wash daily — now just twice per week, the reults are amazing.”

3. Better for the Planet

Zero sing;e-use plastic.
Zero waste.
Lower carbon footprint.
Kinder ingredients.

4. Better for your wallet

Each solid shampoo bar replaces 10 bottles of liquid soap, bodywash or shampoo.

⭐ HOW TO MAKE THE DRY JANUARY SWITCH EASY

• Replace liquid handwash with SNOAP powder or bars

• Swap liquid shampoo for your hair type’s solid bar

• Replace body wash with a sensitive skin bar

• Use Whiff Wash for pets to reduce irritants on their skin too

⭐ So...

Dry January is your opportunity to reset not just what you drink — but how you care for your skin, your hair, and your home.
A switch to SNOAP bars is a healthy habit that lasts long after January ends.
