Which is better, handmade soap or facial cleanser

During the production process of hand soap, because a variety of elements are added, it has a good effect of opening pores and promoting nutrient absorption, so handmade soap is a healthier one. In addition, facial cleansers are mainly used to wash the face and cannot be used to wash other parts of the body. Therefore, both handmade soap and facial cleansers are better, and the two have different uses.

Skin care

Since high-temperature heating is not required during the production process, the natural vitamins and nutrients contained in plant oils and other additives are retained to the maximum extent, making it the best skin care product. We know that we increase our nutrition by taking in various foods, and our skin also needs to absorb nutrients. Taking care of your skin while bathing is the quickest and most effective method. When all the pores on your body are dilated, rub your whole body with handmade soap and let your skin absorb and relax. After bathing, your skin will feel smooth and not tight as if it has been rubbed with a layer of moisturizing cream. Only those who have used it will know that feeling.

But these benefits of handmade soap are questionable. Users must be mentally prepared and not trust the propaganda of handmade soap merchants too much.

Generally speaking, facial cleanser is a paste product composed of oil phase, water phase, surfactants, moisturizers, nutrients and other ingredients. Among them, creamy facial cleansers contain oily ingredients and are suitable for dry skin; crystal-like transparent products do not contain oily ingredients and can meet the needs of most consumers if the formula is properly adjusted. Surfactants in facial cleansers have five major functions: wetting, dispersion, foaming, cleansing and emulsification, and are the main active ingredients in cleansing products. In addition, according to the principle of like dissolves like, during the face washing process, the oil phase can be used to dissolve the oil-soluble fat dirt and excess oil on the face; the water phase can be used to dissolve the water-soluble sweat stains and dirt on the face.

Basic Types

Foaming cleanser:

It contains surfactants and is divided into two types: multi-foam type and micro-foam type. Surfactants are used to stabilize grease in water and dissolve it in water to achieve a cleaning effect.

Soap facial cleansers are also one of these categories, but because of their obvious characteristics, they are generally treated differently from ordinary surfactant facial cleansers.

Solvent-based facial cleansers:

This type of product relies on the oil-oil dissolving ability to remove oily dirt. It mainly targets oily dirt, so they are generally some makeup remover oils, cleansing creams, etc.

Foam-free facial cleanser:

This type of product combines the characteristics of the above two types, using an appropriate amount of oil and containing some surfactants.
