Is it harmful to take a bath with soap every day?

Soaking is slightly harmful to the skin;

Soap is weakly alkaline and human skin is weakly acidic. Using alkaline soap in the bath will do some harm to the skin. Soap contains caustic soda (NaOH). It is not advisable to use alkaline soap frequently when washing hands, face and bath. If you use less soap, it will destroy the pH balance of the skin, and it is prone to dry skin, itching and dandruff in winter.

However, soap can also clean the dirt and grease on the skin surface, so that the pores on the skin can absorb more oxygen, thus strengthening blood circulation and killing and washing away the bacteria attached to the skin surface. Sterilization is beneficial to washing. Don't use too much soap and don't worry too much. It is recommended to use shower gel because it contains ingredients that moisturize the skin.
