Soap…Soap…Soap…

If your skin is always in the dry state, the most likely cause is the soap you use is not appropriate. Then not so dry anymore, you use the lotion in quantity, but at the shower you re-use the same soap. The same thing keeps happening over and over again. Such care will not solve your skin problems.

Those who live in countries with four seasons did not need frequent bathing when it was winter. Yet for women who live in tropical climates, where the air is so humid and hot sun rays, thus making the skin continue to sweat. Thus, we have to shower at least two times a day to prevent the growth of fungus on the skin.

Currently most of the soap in the market still is made of the anointing (sodium tallowate) and lye (alkaline solution). It is said that there are even some soaps on the market that actually functions is less good for the skin, among them are:

- Deodorant Soap. Try to avoid this type of soap. Deodorant soaps contain chemicals that kill bacteria that cause body odor. In fact, other soaps have the ability to kill bacteria that cause body odor without additional substances contained as hard as this type (which can cause skin dryness and irritation).

- Antibacterial Liquid Soap. Usually doctors use antibacterial soap that contains triclosan to ensure the hands are clean before performing medical activities. However, it’s been a lot of soap to a public that also contain this material. Not a few bacteria that cause diseases that can actually help us healthier and help us immune.

- Medicated soap. Medical content, such as sulfur (sulfur), tar, and resorcin, are often used as a drug used to treat acne. Sulfur is an antiseptic that helps dry up pimples, just like tea tree oil, tea tree but not as hard as sulfur. Try replacing them with soap containing tea tree oil.

- Body wash and shower gel. Actually these are similar to shampoo. Like the shampoo, they can make the skin dry because the content of sodium laureth sulfates. When using this type of soap, you may feel slippery, because of the silicone in it. Liquid silicone lubricant is widely used in many cosmetics because it sits at the top of the skin, and can not penetrate the skin layers.
