Taking a long hot shower is one of the simple pleasures in life. So, while you’re doing your shower routine it’s important to use soap that both cleanses and nourishes the skin. While shower gel and bar soaps have the same job, what you use can have a significant impact on your skin.
Here is a quick guide to help you understand why shower gel is better than harsh bar soaps.
Soap vs Shower Gel
In general, there isn’t much difference between bar soaps and shower gels as skin care products, i.e. they're both used to cleanse your skin. However, bar soap contains a combination of liquid fats (vegetable oil or animal fat) with an alkaline substance such as sodium hydroxide. Whereas, the basic ingredients of liquid shower gels are water and foaming agents, like SLS, sulphates, and betadine for binding.
Why People Like Bar Soap?
Some of the main reasons people like bar soap are:
· Easy to use
· Compact and small
· Available in a variety of fragrances
· Available for different skin types
Shower Gel Benefits
Shower gels have gained popularity because they offer many advantages over conventional and harsh bar soap. It’s important to pick a soap that hydrates and nourishes your skin. The harsh chemicals used in bar soap are more likely to strip off the natural oils in your skin which makes it dry and dull. While shower gel has a more gentle and more hydrating skin cleanser that is good for all skin types. This makes shower gel ideal to ensure that skin is moisturised, healthy, and glowing.
Here Are the Top Reasons Why Shower Gel Is Better Than Harsh Soaps
Hygienic and safe
Unlike bar soap, which is typically used by several people and, as such, might be contaminated from previous use - shower gels are contained in bottles and tubes, making them safe and hygienic for each use.
Good for exfoliation and nourishment
Water-based shower gels are mild and nourish the skin, they are also often infused with granules that make them perfect for exfoliating and everyday use.
For all skin types
The water-based formula of a shower gel easily lathers to form a rich foam and nourish all skin types to restore hydration.
Your age
As people age their skin gets thinner and more delicate. Gel soap is milder and can moisturise skin better. It can also help replenish natural oils.
