Is artificial soap good for washing your face?

With the continuous development of society, some people prefer to use artificial soap when washing their faces in addition to facial cleansers. Artificial soap has a cool texture and is suitable for oily skin. Washing with soap will make you feel refreshed and clean, so many people choose to use artificial soap. Artificial soap contains different ingredients, so is it good to use artificial soap to wash your face? Let us take a look at it together below.

1. There are mainly two types of handmade soaps on the market: one is soap-based soap, and the other is cold-process soap.

A; Soap-based soap: Main features: transparent, colorful, fragrant, and unique shape.

This type of soap is made using a thermal process that uses high-temperature heating to produce a reaction. The main ingredients are soap base (a chemical raw material) plus pigments and flavors through thermal reaction. Since the machine can produce in large quantities, the cost is low and the time is short (basically it only takes one day to make it). It can be sold in large quantities without the problem of out of stock.

B: Cold process soap. Main features: opaque, tastes a bit raw. Some people may not be used to it.

When I first came into contact with handmade soap, the main consideration was price, and soap-based soaps were relatively cheap. It only costs a few dollars on Taobao. I also used a few soap-based soaps. At first, I felt that there were a lot of foam and a strong fragrance. After washing my face, it was a little dry and peeling. After adding a little water, it was ok. So I didn't pay much attention to it. I especially liked the rich foam. It's really good for bathing and it's also relatively easy to clean.

You can rub out some dense, soft foam by wetting it with water, which is as moisturizing as clotted cream. The difference between it and the foam of essential oil soap is that it is very fine and skin-friendly, not as coarse and thick as essential oil soap. Cleaning is relatively easy. Cold process soap is indeed more moisturizing, not drying, and not tight.

Do you need to do a sensitivity test before washing your face with artificial soap?

Before using soap, it is recommended that you do a sensitivity test first. Especially for friends with sensitive skin, before using handmade soap containing essential oils (fragrances) or colorants (especially when used on the face), it is recommended to do an allergy test on the inside of the wrist first - wash the area with handmade soap, and then wait a day to see if any adverse symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, and bumps occur. If not, you can use it with confidence!

Do you get acne after washing your face with artificial soap?

Many people experience dry and rough skin, small pimples, itchy scalp, dry hair and other symptoms similar to cosmetic allergies when they first start using handmade soap. This phenomenon is called "healing reaction". It is because the skin feels dry and tight due to long-term use of skin care products containing a large amount of chemical synthetic surfactants. Therefore, as long as the cleaning time is kept at about 30 seconds when using handmade soap, then rinse with water as much as possible, moisturize in time, and let the skin adapt for a period of time, the stains will disappear automatically.

What has been described above is a detailed description of whether it is good to wash your face with artificial soap. There are more and more soaps on the market, each with a different fragrance and ingredients, and many facial soaps have replaced facial cleansers. People with oily skin especially prefer facial soaps, because soap has more ingredients than facial cleansers, so your face will feel very clean and refreshed after washing. I hope this article will be helpful to everyone.
