Beauty spot: Luxury soaps

Creams, lotions, serums . . . we love them all. But sometimes it's nice to turn to basics, like a great bar of soap:
Wonderbar is a multipurpose bar that cleanses, exfoliates, tones and moisturizes and is good for all kinds of skin issues, from wrinkles to acne. Formulated with clay and micro-algae, the bar is said to draw out impurities and restore pH balance to skin; $40 for a 25-gram bar at wonderbarusa.com.
Citron, honey and coriander . . . sounds good enough to eat. But no, those are just some of the ingredients in Crabtree & Evelyn's new bath and body collection, which includes this pretty body bar made with moisturizing shea butter and evening primrose oil; $10 at crabtree-evelyn.com.
Onyx is Caswell-Massey's new bath soap, made with natural black clay from Australia known for its cleansing and exfoliating properties. Yes, it's black, but they promise it won't stain linens or tiles; $20 for a single bar, $50 for a set of three at caswellmassey.com.
