Good health magazine advised women with dry skin to use soap and water in moderation, noting that the skin may lose its freshness when repeated washing, which is difficult to restore with creams again.

The number of times the skin is washed daily depends on the type of skin and the physical activity of the person, one can often clean the oily skin with soap and water ideally, while dry skin is preferred - according to the magazine - to use less water. When bathing, it is sufficient to clean areas that smell dense, such as the armpits and intimate organs, with mild soap, and other parts of the body can be cleaned with lukewarm water. The good health magazine said that frequent washing of dry skin with water causes damage to the natural protective layer and makes the skin cracked, and soap works to increase this harmful effect.
