Skin and Soaps

The skin is fairly acidic in nature. Therefore, use care with soaps which tend to be alkaline in nature. These alkaline soaps can be drying to the skin. To test your soap you can use a simple litmus paper to see if it is more alkaline or neutral. Use special care when using soaps on the face. My recommendation is don't use your bath soap on your face because it can damage the skin by not being acidic enough.
