What is Soap used for?
Soaps are typically of two types: beauty soaps for everyday use and medicated soaps for helping with skin allergies and infections. Beauty soaps help keep our bodies clean, remove dirt and pollution, and moisturize the face. Medicated soaps, on the other hand, are exclusively prescribed by a dermatologist for acne, fungal or yeast infection, and for the sensitive skin of newborn babies.
Why is Soap important?
Infectious diseases such as COVID-19, gastrointestinal diseases, and respiratory infections can be easily deterred if one regularly cleans their hands, face and body after coming in contact with another person or outside environment. Soaps come in a variety of choices that range from medicated soaps that help manage skin allergies and fungal infections to beauty soaps with herbal ingredients to beautify and nourish the skin.
Types of Soap
- Antifungal soaps are medicated soaps that help manage skin allergies and fungal or yeast infections, and should only be used under a dermatologist’s prescription. Some of the most popular antifungal soaps that help manage antifungal infections are Keto Soap, KZ soap, Nuforce Soap, and Abzorb Antifungal Soap.
- Herbal Soaps are all-natural skin cleansers that contain herbal ingredients and offer an all-natural composition suitable to all skin types.
