Regular Soap or Face & Body Wash?

Regular Soap or Face & Body Wash?

You’ve got soap, body wash, and face wash. Wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper to buy a bar of regular soap and use it for everything? What is the difference between all of them? Many people think these items are the same, but they are not.

When you're choosing a product to wash 90% of your body, it pays to make an informed decision. Regular soaps are known to dry out skin, as many contain sodium hydroxide. Some soaps can remove essential lipids and proteins, and alter the skin’s pH level, which can cause irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin. It's best to avoid parabens and phthalates, as they can be harmful to the body.

The quality of soap, face wash, or body wash comes down to the ingredients in each. Reading labels is crucial to determine which product is best for your skin. It might be best to avoid regular bar soaps on your face and body. Look for mild body and face washes with moisturizing properties, as they won’t strip your skin of essential nutrients.
