How To Choose The Right Soap For Your Skin
We all use soap to clean and cleanse our skins, as well as keep it glowing. However, using the wrong soap can lead to certain skin complications. Before you start using any type of skincare product, you should first start with soap, but before you start looking for the right soap, you should first know your skin type and how it reacts to different products.
There are different types of skin;
- Oily skin
Most people battle with oily skin. This produces natural oil, sebum, which in return causes more frustration to the person as it causes the skin to be more prone to acne. If you have this skin type, you should regularly wash your face and avoid using strong soaps.
- Dry Skin
Next to oily skin is dry skin. As opposed to oily skin, dry skin barely produces sebum. This natural oil is very important to the skin but shouldn’t be too high or too low. When your skin produces lower than the optimal range of sebum, then you have dry skin.
- Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is great and easy to care for. All you need, if you have sensitive skin is to make sure the soap, and pretty much all the products you are using have balanced PH levels and with no colorants and perfumes in them. And, there are many options as far as sensitive skin products are concerned.
- Normal skin
From the name, you can already tell what type of skin this is; neither too dry nor too oily. To best care for this type of skin, avoid using too oily or too dry skin soaps. Herbal and all-natural soaps are great.
- Combination Skin
This is quite the opposite of normal skin. It has both oily and dry skin properties. In this case, avoid using soaps made only for oily or dry skin. If you use soaps made exclusively for oily skin it will make your skin oilier and vice versa.
