Wash yourself with soap to prevent germs from spreading. Heard that? Well, stop using soaps, as they are harmful for your skin. Now, that's new! Well, we can list out reasons on why you should stop using soap, read on.

Believe it or not, your skin absorbs vital nutrients not just through food, but also transdermally, that is, through your skin.

We know that skin makes for a major organ of our body, but did you know that 60% of what you apply topically gets absorbed directly into your bloodstream?

Which means, EVERYTHING (minerals, vitamins and even the toxic chemicals) get absorbed into the bloodstream.

Your soaps come with dark secrets, the ones that no soap company would actually want you to know.

Stripping your skin of natural oils, scaly skin and redness is least of your worries. We mean more sinister side effects of soap that puts you in more danger than you imagined possible.

Before getting started, here is an advice that will probably save your life!

Your Soap Can Make You Resistant To Antibiotics

Antibacterial soap contains a chemical called triclosan, which though kills some bacteria, still is also known to cause genetic mutations in certain other bacteria.

In short, triclosan protects the bacteria, instead of killing them, making them more immune to the most powerful of antibiotics. If this is not a scary enough reason to stop using soaps, don't know what is.

Triggers Skin Irritation

Are soaps harmful for your skin? Answer is a big YES! Your skin's natural pH balance is 7. And the pH level of a soap-based cleanser is approximately 10, making it much more alkaline, which causes skin irritation and dryness.

Increases The Risk Of Infertility

Recent study conducted by the FDA on rats and frogs showed that harmful ingredients in soap like triclosan tends to interfere with the body's regulation of thyroid hormone. If the same study is applicable on humans even remotely, it will potentially put us under the risk of infertility, early onset of puberty and obesity.

Chocks Your Sweat Glands

Sweating is your body's natural way to flush out toxins and absorb oxygen. The so-called fragrance in your soap is made up of synthetic chemicals and cancer-causing toxins. It not only chocks your sweat glands, but also negatively impacts your nervous system and causes allergies.

Kills The Environment

Another potent risk of using soaps is this reason. All the chemicals in your soap end up in two places, one your central system and another soil/ground water. And certain chemicals like triclosan and triclocarban do not get degraded easily, which means they NEVER evaporate, puncturing and altering the environment from within for centuries to come!

Alternatives

Now that you know the exact side effects of soaps, we hope you stop using them. Switch to natural alternatives instead. There are all-organic soaps you can make at home that are free of toxic substances, cost nothing and nourish your skin like no other!
