• People having oily skin face problems because of excess oil. Soaps are identified to be less harmful to oily skin in comparison with dry skin. Special cleaning soap or some antibacterial soap has been found to be quite beneficial for oily skin. Soaps containing tree oil or thyme or lavender or chamomile can help your oily skin.

• When you have a combination or mixed skin (oily as well as dry) then you need to be very careful about your choice of soap. Don’t use soaps that are specially mentioned for oily or dry skin. Try to trace out normal skin products. When applying soap give attention to the dry areas.

• People with dry skin (insufficient natural oil/sebum) should keep distance from harsh/rough soaps. Try to trace out something with moisturiser. You can figure out quite a few quality commercial soaps that can provide your required moisturiser as well as natural soaps that are also good sources of cocoa butter, vegetables oil, aloe Vera etc.

Soaps to keep distance:

• Never compromise on price for your skin & try to avoid cheap commercial soaps.

• Soaps containing various chemicals can damage your skin severely.

• Soaps that are not made for your skin type can be harmful.

• You need to keep your distance from soaps containing high acid content /pH etc.
