CAN YOU WASH YOUR FACE WITH SOAP?

HOW DOES WASHING YOUR FACE WITH SOAP AFFECT YOUR SKIN?

It would seem that soap and water are the basis of hygiene. But is soap really good for your complexion? Opinions on this subject vary. Many people pay attention to the high alkalinity of facial soaps, which increase the skin's pH, thus disrupting its hydrolipid balance. Additionally, they often contain aggressive dyes and preservatives, to which the skin may react allergically. Therefore, we should choose facial soap carefully instead of reaching for the first better one on the store shelf.

WHICH INGREDIENTS SHOULD SOAP NOT CONTAIN?

Face soap should contain as few potentially harmful chemical ingredients as possible. In particular, avoid substances such as:

  • Sodium Palmate (sodium palmiate, i.e. sodium salt of palm oil),
  • Sodium Cocoate (sodium cocoate, i.e. sodium salt of coconut oil),
  • Sodium Tallowate (sodium salt of tallow acid).

These are foaming substances that perfectly cleanse and degrease the skin, but also dry it out and irritate it. Instead of a typical drugstore face soap containing such ingredients, it is better to choose a natural soap without dangerous chemicals or completely avoid using it in favor of other alternatives.

WHEN IS IT BETTER TO GIVE UP USING SOAP?

Facial care with soap is especially discouraged for those with dry, vascular and sensitive skin. Each of these skin types is characterized by high susceptibility to irritation, dryness and the development of skin imperfections, which soap can only worsen. Using this cosmetic product can have a negative effect even on healthy, normal skin, so carefully observe the changes in its appearance and condition. If after each wash your facial skin becomes dry, rough and tense, immediately stop using soap.

WHAT CAN BE SUBSTITUTED FOR FACE SOAP?

Facial soap is not a mandatory element of facial care. It can be successfully replaced with cosmetics such as moisturizing organic facial cleansing foam Japanese gourd Whether natural face wash gel with rice particles, aloe and jasmine . They work similarly to natural soap, i.e. they thoroughly cleanse the skin of all impurities, remnants of make-up and excess sebum, but do not dry it out or irritate it.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF NATURAL FACE CARE COSMETICS?

Facial care using natural cosmetics has the advantage that it does not disturb the skin's hydrolipid balance. Natural soap, bio foams and face wash gels - unlike regular soaps - not only cleanse the complexion, but also moisturize and nourish it, and also have a soothing and regenerating effect. Such facial care has practically no negative side effects.
