Mild soaps are specially designed to be gentler than regular brands. Because milder variations usually do not contain added colour or perfume, they are less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions. All soaps will remove the accumulated dead skin cells, oil and dirt on the surface of your skin, but mild formulations tend to avoid completely stripping away all of the protective oils. If use of a mild soap still continues to irritate your skin, try a cleanser instead. Look for newer foam and cream cleansers that are suitable for all skin types. These special formulations will gently clean, but still leave your skin hydrated in the process. Always complete your skin care regimen with a moisturizer – it is best to find one that provides sun protection as well.
