Are You Using Your Bar Soap Wrong?

Healthy

29 Aug

Forget the liquid soaps and body washes that are full of chemicals and fragrances — everyone needs a good bar of soap in their life, and in their bathroom.

Don’t treat soap bars like a one size fits all solution; there’s a reason why these products come in a variety of formulas for different skin types. The next time you go buy a bar of soap, be sure to find one that is specifically created for your skin’s unique needs.

If you aren’t sure which product is best for your skin and most worthy of your investment, there is nothing like Erno Laszlo soaps and the brand’s extensive selection to give you options. This classic brand sells soaps for cleansing, sensitive skin and more!

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), bar soaps clean your body by washing away the dirt and microorganisms that have built up during your day. That said, soap can have a less than desirable effect if you aren’t using the right product for you.

When you find the right soap bar for you, make sure you are using it properly to get the most out of its cleansing capabilities.

These are the signs that you aren’t using your bar soap quite right, and should reconsider your washing routine:

The Soap You Use Isn’t for Your Skin Type

Why use a soap for oily skin, if you have sensitive skin? Identify your type of skin, so that you can have a better idea of which bar will clean you most effectively.

For example, an exfoliating bar may not be great if you have sensitive skin that irritates easily. It also means you probably want something that’s scent and chemical free to prevent rashes and other reactions.

The Soap Bar Sits in Water

There are a few reasons why you don’t want your bar to be sitting in water. One, this makes the soap deteriorate faster as the water wears it down and means you’ll have to replace it sooner — which is just a waste of money and soap.

To keep your soap dry, make sure that you dump out any collected water in your dish regularly or, even better, invest in a holder with drain slots. It’s a good idea to keep this away from your shower head.

You Never Clear Your Bar Soap

If you aren’t cleaning your bar soap regularly, you might want to consider doing so because this is something that collects the bacteria from your body. Give it a quick rinse to make sure what you’re using to clean your body isn’t making you dirtier.

You Use a Cloth or Loofah

When you use a cloth or loofah to apply your soap to your body, you are irritating your skin for one – these items can be abrasive and, when scrubbed against your skin, can have less than desirable effects like rashes.

Additionally, if you keep these items wet, they can smell, build bacteria and other nasty particulates that should not be coming into contact with your skin. Plus, if you’ve already used the loofah or cloth, chances are you are returning the dirt it collected from your last wash right back to your body.

Find the right soap for you, and gently lather it in your hands to use on your body and wash off all the dirt you’ve accumulated from the day. These products can be cleansing if you find the right one that doesn’t irritate your skin.
