Not all women have a shelf in their bathroom filled with all sorts of jars and bottles of cosmetics.
What can we say about men, whose ability to use one bar of soap to wash their entire body is the subject of jokes?
If you also have a habit of tidying up your face with bar or liquid soap, it’s time to give it up, and here’s why.
The whole point is that the pH of the skin (acid-base balance) is 5.5.
Soap is an alkali with a pH of 9 to 11, which means it is much harsher than our delicate skin.
Washing with soap dries and dehydrates the skin, creating a favorable environment for the development of bacteria, which is why rashes often appear on the face. Is it worth mentioning that dry skin leads to earlier formation of wrinkles?
If you have problem skin, you should use foam or gel for washing, then apply toner or micellar water, rinse with water and apply cream.
In any case, the best solution to help get rid of skin problems is a consultation with a specialist.
