Is it really more beneficial for the skin?
“Household soap is indeed a more suitable option for the skin of a healthy person, but only in the context of regular handwashing.
Washing the face with either liquid or household soap is not recommended, as the skin on the face has its own protective covering that can be damaged,” explains dermatologist and cosmetologist Yuliya MIKHALYUK.
- Household soap is significantly more effective in combating microbes, as bacteria do not adhere to its surface — they do not survive in a highly alkaline environment. The higher the percentage of fatty acids indicated on the soap packaging, the better its cleansing properties. Additionally, household soap does not cause allergic reactions, unlike liquid soap, which often contains chemical additives and fragrances that contribute to their occurrence.
However, for people with sensitive skin, the cleansing properties of household soap may lead to dermatitis.”
