Short of stretching the skin through plastic surgery, the skin's elasticity cannot be restored once it has become flaccid. Like a rubber band, once the tissue has lost that bounce-back ability, firm skin is a thing of the past. Your skin doesn't have little noses on the outside breathing in oxygen. The oxygen carried in the blood nourishes your skin. Products, therefore, don't stop your skin from breathing.
Soap is a good cleanser.
Soap, because of its alkaline nature, strips your skin of all oil and water and sets up an imbalanced environment usually leading to dehydration and possibly congestion. Copyright 2000 Digital Korea Herald. All rights reserved.
