Cleaning involves the removal of dust, bacteria, oils, dead skin cells, sweat and other debris from the surface of the skin. Unfortunately, the cleaning can also dry and irritate the skin, especially in children and the elderly, especially in sensitive or inflamed as in the case of atopic dermatitis. Cleaning the skin helps to release the smell of the secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands. PH is a very useful measure for assessing the smoothness of skin cleanser. Types of skin cleansers Generally, alkaline pH cleaners are not tolerated as well as cleaners at an acidic pH. A pH of 7.0 is neutral (a change of 0.5 in either direction is still considered neutral). A pH higher than 7.5 is alkaline. A pH lower than 6.5 is acidic. The skin pH is 5.5. The acid pH helps protect the skin and is called the "acid mantle".

Cleaning agents with acid pH does not alter the acid mantle as do alkaline cleaners. There are four basic types of skin cleansers: - Soap - Bars synthetic (Syndet) - soap-free liquid creamer (Syndet). - Milk-free cleaning of oil (lipid-free). Types of Soap Soaps are sodium salts consisting of animal and vegetable fats. Are alkaline with a pH ranging from 9 to 10. Therefore, they can irritate the skin, especially skin especially sick. These soaps form a residue on the skin. • Most soaps are opaque, but there are also clear soaps. The so-called glycerin soaps contain ingredients such as alcohol, glycerin and sugar producing a soft light bar. • Superfatted soaps contain a large amount of fat or oil in an attempt to leave an oily protective film on the skin. • deodorant soaps containing topical antiseptic to inhibit bacterial growth. Bars sintéticasSe developed about 50 years ago as an upgrade to regular soap. They contain synthetic surfactants as cleaning agents. The synthetic bars are much less irritating than normal soap bars and soap scum are not. Synthetic gels were developed in Europe about 15 years ago as an improvement in the normal liquid soap.

They contain synthetic surfactants as cleaning agents. These soaps without soap are much less irritating than regular soap bars and jabón.JabonesExisten residues are not differences in the types of soaps for the skin. Soaps differ in their appearance, smell, cost, and composition. For example, soaps containing excessive fatty material Superfatted and leave an oily residue on the skin. This is intended to improve smoothness. Some transparent soaps contain glycerin and a varying amount of vegetable fats. Other detergents and soaps are not maintained to a greater extent the acid mantle of the skin. Some people prefer liquid soaps, others prefer the form of bars. Some soaps can be produced for specific purposes. The choice of a suitable detergent will depend on many factors, including age, skin texture, skin problems and personal needs. It is very important to know the pH of soap. In childhood recommended pH neutral soap, while after most recommended are the acid pH. Use of soaps by age

All soaps are effective for cleaning. However, due to age, heredity, climate, skin texture and culture, there are many options regarding the appropriate methods for cleansing the skin. In infancy the skin has sebaceous glands that are not very active. However, the sweat glands are very active. Warm water is recommended for the shower or bath. You can use a neutral pH mild soap to remove grease from the skin. We recommend the use of very soft sponges that do not irritate the skin. After the bath is to apply a neutral pH body milk that does not cause itching of the skin of the child. The diaper area requires special attention. Soiled diapers should be changed often to avoid the irritating potential of urine and feces. The elimination of fecal material may require rubbing gently with a cotton ball soaked in a solution or an oily cleanser or wipes for kids. Avoid soap if there is a rash. It requires a large amount of soap at this stage of life.

After each diaper change should be applied to the skin barrier cream with zinc oxide. In childhood. As the child grows will increase the need for soap. Again, however, if a rash, the soap should then be avoided. It can be particularly difficult to use soap in boys and girls who have atopic dermatitis, a condition of dry, flaky skin that is hereditary. It is recommended in these cases with extracts of Oatmeal soap or Mimosa.

In the preadolescent years the need for soap and bath daily increases. Sweat and sebaceous glands are now operating more efficiently and can withstand repeated use of soap. From puberty to adulthood (13 to 19 years) the sebaceous glands function at maximum capacity. This is especially true for the scalp, forehead, face and upper chest. There is often some degree of acne and complexion fat. The routine of taking a shower or bath should become a habit. Frequently washing the face can reduce fat and help alleviate acne slightly. In the elderly. As the skin ages, the sebaceous glands secrete sebum much lesser degree. Soap can begin to cause an undesirable degree of drying. This answer varies from person to person. Others may continue washing with soap for a long time without any adverse effects. Seasonal variations affect the skin and should be considered. Cold, wind, sunlight and other environmental factors play a role in the development of dry skin. If soap is used very frequently in the later stages of life can develop xerosis (dry skin).

It is better to reduce the use of soap, especially in the lower extremities (this is highly recommended in winter). Cleansing creams or lotions can be good substitutes. Certain areas of the body, however, may require the continued use of soap. The body folds are areas where the soap should continue to be employed. It is also important to hydrate the skin after bathing in patients with dry skin. Cleansing milks are used for removing make the face and eyes as soap substitutes. They are particularly suitable in dry skin. Work by forming an emulsion with the sebum and makeup residues can thus be eliminated. Some also have a moisturizing and soothing all-purpose skin type, including the most sensitive and fragile (atopic) and even for the hygiene of the area's diaper on the baby, because it does not contain perfume or alcohol. They apply directly with your hands or a piece of cotton impregnated and extend over areas to be cleaned. After drying the excess milk with a washcloth and cleaning is completed by applying a tonic lotion according to skin type. You have to alternate the use of these facial cleansing milk with the use of soap products.

Dry skin or xerosis Dry skin, also called xerosis, is a common dermatological condition. The symptoms are peeling, dryness and itching, which can occur at any time of life. Some children may have itching or stinging with dry skin in atopic dermatitis. The dryness of the skin is very common in people over 60 years. Some people have a genetic predisposition scaly dry skin (ichthyosis). Others develop cracked and dry skin due to internal or cutaneous disease after exposure to aggressive environmental factors, systemic medications (retinoids) or topical (anti-acne agents, abrasives, retinoids), excessive exposure to soaps and detergents.
