Why do more and more mites appear when washing your face with sulfur soap? Mistakes in removing mites may backfire

If your face often shows symptoms such as redness, itching and acne for no reason, it is very likely that mites are causing the problem! When it comes to removing mites, many people think of sulfur soap first. But why do more mites appear when washing your face with sulfur soap?

Why do more mites appear when washing your face with sulfur soap?

Sulfur soap is very effective in removing mites, but it is too irritating and not suitable for facial cleansing. It may even cause considerable harm to the skin and damage the skin barrier, which may result in an increase in the number of mites. If you have mites on your body, you can use sulfur soap to clean them. Of course, it can’t be used for a long time.

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".

Tips

Mites are indeed hateful, but the wrong method of removing mites may backfire. Therefore, we must find the correct method in the process of removing mites, and never look for "folk remedies" on the Internet! 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.
