Does bubble bath have to be rinsed off, or can it remain on the skin after drying?

Question

I am an adult so this sounds like a silly question, but since childhood I have always rinsed off in the shower after a bubble bath. Is this necessary, or would it be okay to simply dry off straight out of the soapy bath? **All offensive and inappropriate responses will be flagged**

Answer 1

My mom used ot make me do the same thing and it has stuck with me too and now I know why she did it! It's not absolutely necessary but it does help maintain the integrity and moisture of your skin when you rinse the bubblebath off. Plus if you think about it, you're leaving *dirty* soap subs on your skin since you were relaxing in the tub in all your dirty glory haha! I rinse mine off but maybe our mothers were just paranoid ; )

Answer 2

It really depends if you have sensitive skin. I have never rinsed off a bubble bath. I would think it would be diluted anyways from the water to even matter.
