Soaps and Detergents Can Be Irritating to The Skin

These days, companies are adding so many things to the soaps and detergents in hopes of improving its products, such as soaps and detergents. Consumers will buy these products thinking each one will be better than another or better than previously. Yet, along with the improved or new products, comes new or combined ingredients. And, some people tend to have or develop allergies to those new or modified ingredients.

When using soap, while washing the hands, taking a shower and/or bath, the skin can start to become dry, while itching, tiny bumps pop up and there may some burning. How about washing clothes in a laundry detergent that is in the clothes. One could easily think the fabric is the problem, but instead it may be the detergent.

Until the source is recognized, the problem will only worsen. Nobody likes to spend time scratching and rubbing the skin. This only irritates the skin more.
