Is Antibacterial Soap Origin more Harm than Good

Cleanliness nowadays is taken to extremes where a lot of people are obsessed with killing unseen germs

Cleanliness nowadays is taken to extremes where a lot of people are obsessed with killing unseen germs. This is not to say that people should stop caring about cleanliness and live filthy lives.  It just that this obsession for cleanliness has caused some people to be duped into buying products that in reality do not do anything that good old fashion water and soap cannot accomplish. This means that more and more people are buying products that they do not really need to fight germs and bacteria that do not really have.

Fear marketing

 Manufacturers have realized that fear sells and will therefore throw all types of scientific and scary sounding germs that we apparently have and that will kill our skins if we do not buy their product. Unless new germs are coming out of a factory somewhere, most of these antibacterial soaps are pure hogwash.  This is because people have had good skin since way before these products and they have done so even with the existence of horrible germs and bacteria out there. While we will want to improve our standards by using reliable products such as Godrej products that have been around for years as well as trying some of the Godrej products that have nourishing ingredients, we do not need to go over the top.

There is really not a big need for you to go being scared over germs that you have up until now kept at bay with soap and water. Whenever you hear a manufacturer throwing around big words and prophesying doom for your skin if you do not use one of their products then you need to really examine what it is they are selling before reaching for your wallet. Chances are that they are just trying to scare you and blackmail you into buying a product you really do not need. They will usually do this by throwing common terms such as antibacterial soap to help lull you into a sense of false security in their product.

Good hygiene

If all that we want is good looking skin that is not riddled with pimples and dark spots, then all we really need is a decent enough Godrej product that helps clean out the skin. This is because there is really no need to ditch something that has been proven to work for something else just because it is new.  It is fair to expect products to get better as time goes by but we should not be too carried away with new products that we buy each one that promises antibacterial properties. We should stick to products that have been proven to work and that are certified by government bodies.

Sometimes all you will need is a good cleanser and some soap and water and you will have a good skin. Applying a good moisturizing cram and sun block will also do your skin a lot of good. If your skin does have some issues then before rushing for troves of antibacterial soaps, it may be a good idea to see a dermatologist. Some of these antibacterial soaps do actually do more harm than good.
