Liquid soap or Bar Soap: Which is Better?
When is one better than the other?
For
example, when it comes to the daily bath and there are no skin conditions, bar
soap is enough . Another thing is if we have dryness, psoriasis, skin mycosis
or any dermatological disease that requires care when cleaning.
In these
cases, as long as it is indicated by a specialist, the liquid works better than
the bar because it contains ingredients that are involved in the treatment. And
in the case of flaking on the skin, liquid soap , unlike the bar presentation,
contributes to hydration.
Liquid
soap is recommended for washing the face because bar soap tends to dry out the
face. Bar soap has a high pH and is very alkaline relative to the pH of the
skin, which is rather acidic (4 to 6). The formula of the liquid soap is
adaptable to our skin type, fat, or dryness.
For hand
washing, there are those who prefer liquid soap over the dispenser or
dispenser. It is more practical, cheaper and offers a greater sense of security
than using a bar in common use..
Soap bars
are no longer just a white square like they used to be. Now there are as many
varieties as there are tastes.
Bar soap
Bar soap
contains fewer ingredients than liquid soap and does not use water in its
preparation. Therefore, it does not need preservatives. In ecological terms, it
offers greater benefits, since it lacks parabens .
The belief
has spread that bacteria proliferate in bar soap. That is not entirely true. In
the humidity of the soap dish they reproduce, but it is enough to rinse it
before and after use and then place it on a dry surface.
Bar soap
tends to dry out the skin , but this is counteracted by using glycerin- based
soaps , which have a neutral formula.
Liquid soap
If we need
hydration on the skin , nothing like liquid soaps. These do not clean like
sticks, but they help to replenish the protective barrier and its water and
lipid emulsion . They come in a variety of presentations .
They are
more practical to use by dispensers that dose the amount . In addition, c
omunica n better idea that is more hygienic because it goes directly from the
container to the hands , to the body or sponge .
One of its most notable disadvantages is that liquid soap contains water and therefore requires preservatives such as parabens .
