4 Reasons Why You Need Soap-Free Face Wash For Sensitive Skin

When you want the best for your skin, it’s critical to understand which products to use and which to avoid. What if you have extremely sensitive skin? Prudence is the name of the game. While many of the ingredients in skincare products appear to be harmless, they can actually cause havoc on your skin. Soap is one such ingredient. As a result, we’ve compiled a list of four reasons why you should switch to a soap-free face wash immediately! 

  1. Prevents skin deterioration 

Because soaps are alkaline, they aggravate skin sensitivity and associated problems such as redness, inflammation, and flakiness. Additionally, a strong alkaline formula impairs the skin’s ability to inhibit MPPs (matrix metalloproteinases), causing collagen damage and premature aging. Thus, switching from a soap-based cleanser to a soap-free face wash ensures that no alkaline residue remains on your sensitive skin after dirt and impurities are removed. 

  1. Prevents the loss of moisture 

Soaps, which are frequently found in cleansers and other skin and hair care products, are sodium salts derived from fatty acids. Because soaps are naturally attracted to water and oil, they are extremely effective cleaners. Then what is the issue? Because soaps are so effective at what they do, they strip the skin of its natural oils and moisture. This can result in the skin becoming taut and rough. This can be avoided by using a soap-free formula. 

  1. Will not irritate the skin 

By default, a soap-free face wash contains nourishing ingredients and emulsifying agents that enable oil and water to mix effectively and effectively remove surface-level oiliness. While soap can easily dehydrate the skin, a soap-free cleanser will remove impurities and leave it soft and supple, without causing signs of dryness or hydration loss

  1. Enriched with skin-beneficial ingredients 

The best part about a soap-free face wash is that the soap is replaced with gentler ingredients that nourish the skin over time. To determine whether or not a face wash contains soap, check the ingredient list for names that begin with sodium or potassium and end in the suffix ‘ate,’ such as Sodium Gluconate.
