what does people prefer in buying soaps, it moisturizes or it is antibacterial?

Question

would you prefer a soap that has both properties??

Answer 1

Every soap is "Anti-bacterial soap". The label is for marketing to germaphobes.

UPDATE (quoting the source below): According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), antibacterial soaps are not necessary, but washing your hands thoroughly with ordinary soap and warm water is one of the most effective ways to ward off infection.

Answer 2

Soaps should only be used to break down excessive oils on the skin!

Soaps have been misused for decades to moisturize, apply fragrance, and to kill bacteria.

Moisturizing should be done with limited use of a good moisturizer.

Fragrance can be applied in the form of a deodorant, perfume, or cologne.

And bacteria doesn't NEED to be killed all the time. It is fruitless labor. Only kill bacteria on open wounds where they can cause infection, or if exposed to cold-causing bacteria, especially in the hospital. Otherwise, the use has marginal benefit!

I haven't used soap for four years (unless I had been exposed to oils) and I have never heard one complaint. I know this won't be the BEST answer, but hell the truth hurts sometimes!

Answer 3

persoanlly, I prefer moisturizing soaps. the antibacterial have too many side effects, and it has been reported that they arent as effective for getting rid of germs as previously thought.

Answer 4

Why not attempt baking soda? it fairly is gentle and you're able to easily use it dry and it will make form of a paste while it gets moist. it fairly is great for cleansing and deodorizing. i might think of bathing or showering thrice an afternoon, enormously in case you utilize warm water, might dry your epidermis worse than the Dove. additionally, my granddaughter has eczema and hers breaks out especially places. on the backs of her knees and on the backside of her neck. Is yours like that? per risk you're able to easily bypass the cleansing soap in those places. there are particular factors of your physique that relatively must be washed thoroughly with cleansing soap. in any different case your epidermis could start to interrupt down.
