Do I need to use a mite needle when washing my face with sulfur soap?

Sulfur soap should not be used to remove facial mites

Sulfur soap is very effective in removing mites and is generally used on the body. For example, many of our friends will have acne caused by mites on their backs in the summer, which makes our skin very itchy. At this time, we can use sulfur soap in the bath, which can play a certain role in removing mites. However, sulfur soap is too irritating and not suitable for facial cleansing. It may even cause considerable harm to the skin, leading to damage to the skin barrier, which may result in an increase in the number of mites.

In fact, if we want to eliminate facial mites, we don’t need to clean it deliberately. Daily cleaning and regular deep cleaning are the best methods. In addition, the first thing we need to do is to clean personal items such as pillowcases and sheets. Only when personal items are clean can mites have nowhere to settle down. At the same time, indoor ventilation and disinfection are also an important step in preventing mites.

What are the side effects of washing your face with sulfur soap?

1. Skin dehydration

Sulfur soap has very strong cleaning ability. When we use sulfur soap to wash our face, what is taken away is not only the oil in the pores, but also the moisture in our skin. After washing your face with sulfur soap, your face feels rough and "clean", but the water and oil balance of the skin is really broken. When too much water is lost, the skin will secrete more oil to achieve a "balanced" state.

2. Destroy the acidity and alkalinity of the skin

The suitable pH value for human skin is weak acid. The mild facial cleanser we use in daily life is actually to protect the weak acid environment of the skin and create a healthy environment for the skin. However, sulfur soap is highly alkaline. If you use sulfur soap to wash your face frequently, it is conceivable that the acidity and alkalinity of the face will be destroyed, and various skin problems will follow.

3. Damage to the stratum corneum

The biggest harm of using sulfur soap is that the stratum corneum of the skin is severely damaged. Our stratum corneum can protect deep skin cells and resist external stimuli. The extremely strong cleansing power of sulfur soap can damage the skin's stratum corneum. Once the skin barrier is damaged, the skin will become more sensitive and fragile, and may even develop "sensitive skin".
