Proper facial skin care is a key aspect of skin health. To cleanse the skin of the face from various contaminants, many use regular soap, without even realizing the possible danger. Therefore, it is worth understanding what soap you should definitely not wash your face with.

Antibacterial

Antibacterial soaps are often advertised as a way to fight bacteria and prevent acne.

However, many of them contain harsh chemicals like triclosan and triclocarban, which can dry out your skin and disrupt its natural protective barrier. This can lead to irritation, flaking, and even worsening skin problems like acne.

With abrasive parts

Hygiene products containing abrasives may be too harsh for facial skin.

These particles can cause microtrauma to the skin and damage its protective layer, which can lead to inflammation, redness and even microtraumatic dermatitis.

Dry soap

Soaps that are very degreasing can worsen the skin's condition and cause dryness.

Dry skin is more prone to irritation and inflammation, so it is important to choose products with moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin or oils that will help maintain natural moisture levels.

Perfumed

Soaps with added artificial fragrances may be appealing to use because of their pleasant smell, but many of these fragrances can cause irritation and allergic reactions in sensitive skin.

It is better to choose natural and hypoallergenic products, free of unnecessary additives and fragrances.
