who knows about good/bad bacteria?

Question

I found a new skin cleanser that claims to kill ALL bacteria. I know internal organs have good and bad bacteria, is the same true of the skin? Is it OK to kill all bacteria?

Answer 1

Chances are it will dry out your skin, but the good bacteria will regrow. And nothing actually clears out all bacteria, it's just a sales ploy to get uneducated people to buy the product. Good question though!

Answer 2

Without having studied bacteria, I couldn't give you an off the cuff answer. But all that you want to know about bacteria, can be found on the webpage below.

http://en.wikipedia.org is a great place to find answers for a variety of stuff.
