Hand Soap vs. a Real Cleanser – What’s the Difference?
Many people still use hand soap or body wash to cleanse their face, thinking “it’s all the same.”
But did you know these soaps are way too harsh for delicate facial skin?
Instead of cleansing gently, they strip away natural oils, disrupt your skin barrier, and lead to dryness, breakouts, and irritation.
Why Hand Soap is Bad for Your Face:
-
Harsh Detergents – Most contain sulfates that strip away natural moisture.
-
Wrong pH Balance – Healthy skin is slightly acidic, while soap is alkaline, throwing everything off.
-
No Skin Benefits – Unlike cleansers, they don’t contain hydrating or skin-supporting ingredients.
What to Use Instead:
A proper gentle cleanser like our Uplifting Cleanser removes dirt, sweat, and SPF without damaging your skin.
