Cleansing with bar soaps is still the most popular way to wash the body. But most bar soaps contain sodium lauryl sulfate, which strips away natural oils from the skin. (Some organic soaps, and brands such as Burt's Bees and Dove do not.)
How do you balance cleanliness with smooth skin?
In recent years, companies have created moisturizing soaps that moisturize your skin as you wash. These soaps and cleansers work by using emollients and humectants, such as hyaluronic acid, an essential nutrient that helps retain water in the skin's lipid layers.
Some soaps and cleansers contain sustained-release ceramides -- skin lipids -- to help keep the skin moist and ease the dryness of eczema. In addition, some cleansers contain crushed diamond powder to make the skin feel silky.
