Can sulfur water be used for bathing?

Sulfur water has a certain bactericidal effect, especially in inhibiting bacteria, fungi, and mites. Sulfur can generally be used to make sulfur soap, which has a good anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect. However, you must be careful when using sulfur soap. After all, it is corrosive, so it cannot be used for a long time to avoid causing dry skin and dehydration.

1. Kill bacteria, fungi and mites

Sulfon soap has the effect of killing bacteria, fungi and mites, and has a certain preventive and auxiliary therapeutic effect on some skin diseases. Although the concentration of sulfur soap is much lower than that of sulfur suppositories used clinically, long-term continuous use is not recommended. It is recommended to use it intermittently, such as twice a day at the beginning, and then change to once a day, once every three days, etc. after the symptoms are alleviated, and gradually discontinue until stopping. Although long-term use of sulfur soap will not lead to dysbacteriosis and reduce skin resistance, it can easily cause skin dehydration, dryness and peeling. You can use a hydrating moisturizer after cleansing.

2. Long-term use is not recommended.

Long-term use of sulfur soap for washing will have a certain impact on the skin. If you do not suffer from skin diseases such as scabies, there is no need to use it to wash every day. Sulfur soap itself has a bactericidal effect, but long-term use will affect the glossiness of the skin. A friend of mine used to wash his face frequently with sulfur soap, and later the skin on his face became unsightly. In short, it’s okay to wash it occasionally, but it’s not recommended to use it every day.

3. Side effects: easy to make the skin dehydrated

It is definitely not a good idea to take a bath with sulfur soap every day. It is only when you feel your skin is itchy, dry or even uncomfortable that you can use this bathing method to make your skin cleaner. However, it is best not to use sulfur soap for bathing on a normal basis, but to use shower gel instead.
