Many women, easily apply more than 500 chemicals a day to their skin. We use some face wash, moisturizer, make-up, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, lotion and the big one… perfume. We are likely to get pretty close to 500 chemicals in one day. One of the benefits of making a homemade facial cleanser is avoiding any detergent ingredients called surfactants. Surfactants are responsible for creating the lather you expect to see in soaps and many liquid cleansers, but the problem is they strip the natural lipid layer from the skin’s surface and destroy its protective barrier.
