Don’t we think that using antibacterial soap is the best way to kill germs and prevent infections? Apparently, this is wrong. Using antibacterial soap is harmful for our health! And here is why…

Antibacterial means just that ANTI-Bacterial! Using antibacterial soaps kills both the good and the bad bacteria, which destroys our bodies’ natural protection. We all host beneficial bacteria on our skin, in our mouth, and in our intestines. They protect us against disease-causing germs. Regular soap does not affect the beneficial bacteria. It just removes dirt and grease that attract harmful bacteria.

That was yesterday. Today, my further Internet research showed that any kind of soap is bad for the environment and the humans. But, what should we use instead?

For your skin: Look for natural plant based soaps that are not toxic and have a nice scent. I love Kiss My Face products like:

Kiss My Face Sudz Organic Bar Soap In The Pink 8 oz: Grapefruit and Lemongrass scented. A natural vegetable based soap that’s creamy rich lathering and preservative free. Very gently exfoliates and cleanses with natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids in a certified organic base ofpure Palm Oil and Glycerin.

Kiss My Face Sudz Organic Bar Soap C-Weed 8 oz: An effective blend of Vitamin C and Beta Carotene in a certified organic base of pure Palm Oil and Glycerin.

For your home: Vinegar is a natural disinfectant, and it is non-toxic. When you mix the vinegar and the baking soda you will see it fuzz up. This super mix will help you to get rid of even the toughest stains.  Cleaning your home with the vinegar and the baking soda will make it spotless and hypoallergenic.

As always: stay healthy,

Mary
