Well, they kind of do. You know how after you use an antibacterial your skin is dry-that's dead skin. Don't forget that your top most layer of skin is dead already and every time you scratch your skin it flakes off, meanwhile you're making new skin underneath. It's an ongoing process.

Because there not the same,not even in the same category.Bacteria are germs that are very easy to kill with simple or complex remedies. From plain soap and water to a "special antibiotic" compound like drugs.Skin cells are easily shed and slough constantly we lose about a million skin cells a day,and new skin cells rapidly replace old cells.The "soaps" would have to penetrate all layers of skin,to cause any harm ,but the bodies immune system would kick in to prevent that from happening

Bacteria are plants. the chemistry is different. Also, the outed layer of skin, the epidermis is composed of mostly dead skin cells that protect the live cells underneath
