Did you know that you don't really need a soap to be clean? There are natural ways in which you can cleanse your body!

Yes, soap makes you feel all squeaky clean because of how well it can lather up. Most soaps contain emulsifiers and surfactants that could strip the skin of its natural oils. Yes, that's what makes your skin look flaky after you take a shower.

And that kind of skin definitely need a lot of caring, like using a lot of moisturisers and body butters. However, there are some natural ways you could cleanse your body without having to use too much of toxins and without stripping your skin of the natural oils that make it soft and supple.

An added benefit of switching to a natural product is that it reduces the chances of skin inflammations, which means lesser chances of body acne and even boils on the skin.

Some skin types that get inflammed easily are too sensitive to store-bought cleansers. What's more, these natural substitutes of soap would be cost-effective too!

So, do check them out and try them on!
