Antibacterial Soaps

Some people claim, and research even confirms, that using antibacterial soap can in fact kill off normal bacteria and create a mutant bacteria that becomes resistant to any soap that you choose to use, including even some antibiotics. If you these soaps all the time, you can also run the risk of making the skin impervious to non-harmful bacteria that actually helps maintain your skin's health.

Nobody is saying that you should not use antibacterial soaps, but to use them all the time could be counter productive in the long run. Did you know that three quarters of liquid soaps and about a third of bar soaps have antibacterial products in them anyway? So normal soaps are just as likely to do the required job if you do not have a major problem with acne. If you have a major problem, you should consult your doctor about potential medications you could try

It is also probably best to let children use normal soaps because their skin is very sensitive and good at producing its own bacteria that helps skin maintenance.
