A kitchen is not a beauty salon, I think we can all agree on that. And yet I often see soap and hand cream sitting proudly next to washing-up liquid at my friends' houses. It seems that washing-up liquid isn't good for your skin. Is soap really essential?
Advertisements simply tell us that there is a detergent that is so gentle on the skin that soaps are unnecessary. Instead, we tend to think that what's good for our dishes can only be bad for our skin. But it's actually the opposite, and the advertising is right.
Almost all detergents in fact have a neutral pH and are therefore not bad for your skin. According to this American site, you could safely do without hand soap in the kitchen and even save money. Mind you: this doesn't work the other way round! Unfortunately, you can't wash dishes with shower gel or body soap. As for hand cream... It has no place in the kitchen! Your greasy fingers will leave marks on glasses, plates and cutlery. I'll say it one last time just so we're clear: a kitchen is NOT a beauty salon.
