Effects Soap Has on Your Skin

If you're using a regular deodorant soap on your body, it's time to make a change. I was perusing Allure's April edition while getting a pedicure this weekend, and came across an interesting bit of information about soap and your skin: It takes approximately eight hours for your skin to replenish the moisture lost during a shower when you use a regular soap.

If you prefer a bar soap, find one that is soap free or perhaps a gentle goat's milk soap. If you don't have a preference, there are many gentle shower gels to replace the bar of soap you have now.
