What is the difference between facial soap and toilet soap?

Facial soap is a kind of soap, but it is a special facial cleansing soap and a beauty and skin care soap. Ordinary soap is used for bathing and washing hands, and is generally not recommended for washing the face. Soap is more irritating than facial soap. It is best not to use soap to wash your face, but to use facial soap with natural and mild ingredients.

Why you shouldn't wash your face with soap

1. Wash your face frequently with soap, and your face will become oilier the more you wash.

Soap is generally weakly alkaline. The facial skin has a large number of sebaceous glands and sweat glands, which form a natural protective film. It is slightly acidic and has a powerful bactericidal and skin care effect. After washing your face with soap, you will often feel your skin is dry. This is because when the soap removes dirt, it damages the sebum film secreted on the surface of the epidermis to resist external stimuli. However, this sebum film can be secreted again and will reappear after two hours. During this period, we should immediately apply lotion to maintain moisture.

Soap has a strong ability to remove grease stains, which is an over-degreasing method. The skin is an oil-water balance system, and excessive use will cause the skin to secrete more oil. Therefore, the more you wash your face with soap, the oilier it will become. If alkaline cleansers such as soap and soap are used frequently, it will not only easily destroy the protective effect of the natural protective film on the surface of the skin, but also increase the burden on the skin and cause abnormal secretion of the sebum film. The sebum film will be taken away when washing your face, the skin will accelerate the secretion of sebum, and will stimulate the sebaceous glands to "produce oil" more, which will cause abnormal sebum secretion over time.

2. There is often soap residue, which will naturally damage the skin

When washing your face with soap, be sure to rinse it thoroughly to avoid any soap residue on your skin. Soap scum after washing your face with soap can easily clog your pores, causing them to become enlarged. As long as soap remains on the skin, the skin will gradually become rough due to the alkaline state, and the skin will lose elasticity, luster and resistance; the residual soap liquid will often irritate the skin, making it very dry, which can easily cause small wrinkles on our skin, some of which are even serious enough to cause skin cracking.

Advantages of facial soap

Facial soap can clean your skin thoroughly without leaving any residue. Moreover, today’s exclusive facial cleansing soaps are all “natural and non-irritating”. They are gentle and non-irritating when conditioning the skin, and they are also added with various plant ingredients, which are very nourishing to the skin. In addition, facial soaps are rich in oils. Facial soaps made from natural plant oils such as olive oil and sunflower oil have a very good moisturizing effect. The slippery touch will stay on the face, moisturizing the skin without feeling tight or dry or itchy after washing.
