One of the things I like about Ayurvedic medicine is this policy: if you wouldn’t put it in your mouth, don’t put it on your skin. ​​​

Certain soaps and liquid soaps strip the delicate skin barrier, are very harsh on our skin leaving it in a vulnerable and overly dry state. It can lead to people developing itchy skin and reactive dermatitis. Of course we need to remove germs and dirt, but the soaps we choose matter.
