Store bought or commercial soap has a very bad reputation for drying your skin. People have begun to believe that you can't have both, it's either dry skin or or soap is just not cleaning well enough.
This is not true. The reason why store bought soap is so drying is because when the soap is being made,the commercial soap company removes the glycerine from the soap.
Glycerine is a bi-product of soap making and is more valuable than the actual soap that is left. Glycerine is extremely moisturizing. It literally pulls moisture from the air and pulls it into your skin. It's amazing stuff.
Why do the commercial soap companies take out the glycerine? That's easy... profit!
They take the glycerine out of the soap and sell it to lotion making companies who turn around and sell it back to the consumer who used skin drying soap because the glycerine was taken from it.
There is an easy solution, make your own soap. It's fun, it's creative and your skin will NEVER be the same.
After you start to use natural handmade soap, many of your skin problems will disappear.
So many skin issues are caused by not treating your skin right from the beginning. Once you correct this mistake, you will leave those problems behind and they will be a distant memory.
