Initially, when I used Angarakshak soap, it felt little weird. It was as though I was missing something even after taking bath.
We are so used to the lather that is produced by the normal soaps that we use,
that anything lesser than that becomes unacceptable.
This happens because our mind is programmed over the years.

We feel that only when the soap rubs our skin and gives enough lather, our body is cleansed.
This is actually a myth. Yes soaps do cleanse, but they also suck the moisture out of the skin.
That’s why, when you get out of the bathroom, your skin feels so dry.
Now, you might ask what’s the proof?

Now, you might ask what’s the proof?
All I can say is, if you have the colourful, attractive, cardboard or paper based packaging of the soap.
Please find the ingredient section and check for this word called ‘sulphate’.
It could be mentioned in combination of another chemical.
This component pulls out oil and dirt which is present in your skin.
However, the proportion of sulphates in a soap or shampoo should not exceed a certain value.
When it exceeds, it will leave your skin dry by sucking out all the oil. I shall be writing another article on this topic.For now, let’s see how beneficial it is to use a lather-less soap.

The only thing you need to take care is that it has to be used a little softly than the other soaps.
It has a little rough surface. So, you need to dip in water and rub it gently on your skin.
There will be no lather but it’ll feel like you’re taking a mud bath. You can rub well on the arms, legs, torso and back. However, please be gentle on the areas where there is softer skin. And then, as usual wash it all away thoroughly with water.
You must observe how your skin feels after using it for a couple of days. There will be neither dryness nor oiliness. No flakiness or any kind of rashes. It feels like your skin is thanking you for using this soap.

Our other soaps are also good. But this one holds a special place in my heart because it has been the most effective product for my skin. Summer used to be a nightmare for me because exposure to afternoon sun would cause rashes, redness and itchiness for me.
It used to frustrate me a lot. But none of that exists now. Added to this, this soap has an earthy smell which makes me feel good.
There is no trace of the smell of cow dung even though that’s the main ingredient of this soap.
I don’t use any other product on my skin other than this soap. It is such a relief and not to forget, pocket-friendly too.
If you haven’t tried it yet, now is a good time to order it.

PS : The soap can break into pieces if it is constantly kept moist. So, please don’t keep it in a soap box which can accumulate water. Please use it in a self-draining soap box.
