Using any soap with an alkaline base on the skin is not advisable because the skin is naturally acidic. When you use alkaline soap, it dries out the skin, which then has to produce more oils to restore its natural acidity. Therefore, if you have acne, you might initially see some improvement, like drying out of the pimples, but once you stop using the soap, you’ll likely notice increased irritation and more breakouts. As a dermatologist, I advise you to choose a cleanser suited to your skin type. Keep in mind that cleansing is the trickiest step in a skincare routine because, with its detergents, it can strip the skin’s natural oils, which can harm it. Be careful in selecting your products, and I recommend following me for more advice.
