Myth Buster – Soap is bad for your skin
March 28, 2009
As I was growing up, my mother always told me not to use soap to wash your face. I remember being lectured on the evils of soap giving me early wrinkles and dry skin.
To a certain extent, my mother was right. Soaps, right up until the 90s, contained animal fats and vegetable oils, neither of which you really wanted on your face. Since then, though, formulas have improved (Dove being a great example), with new soaps being alot milder and with many containing built-in moisturisers.
