WHAT IS THE BEST SOAP?

Cleansing the body with bar soaps is still the most popular way to wash the body, but most bar soaps contain sodium lauryl sulfate that strips away natural oils from the skin. Some organic soaps, such as Burt’s Bees, and Dove do not. In the past decade, companies have created moisturizing soaps that moisturize and cleanse.

Those with oily skin should use soaps that are not moisturizing, while those with dry or sensitive skin should use moisturizing soaps made for dry, sensitive skin.
