Why is gentle cleansing important?
While cleansing removes dirt, bacteria, oils, dead skin cells, sweat, and other debris from the skin’s surface the use of soap and some cleansers can strip the natural oils from your skin, leaving the skin tight and uncomfortable. In some cases this may affect the integrity of the skin. As a result there is a possibility of infection entering the body and causing inflammation. It is therefore important to cleanse gently. Cetaphil® is one of the gentlest non-soap cleanser. (21 Day Cumulative Irritancy Study, Cantor Research Laboratories, Inc. 2008 Galderama Data on File).
