Finding Relief: My Journey with Soap Sensitivity and Skin Irritation

The soap problem

Most of my life, I was a normal person who could use just about any liquid or bar soap without thinking twice. As usual, as I started getting older, I started getting more sensitive to things. No idea why, I just did. I didn't really break out with any noticeable skin issues, but my skin would start to itch really bad. Sometimes it would even feel like I had bugs crawling just underneath my skin. It was so bad one night, it actually woke me up. Luckily by this time, I had an idea of what caused the issue so I was able to make changes quickly.

I'm not one who wants to suggest brands but there are only two brands of bar soap that I have found that I can tolerate anymore. So I feel I should share them with you.

• Tom's Fragrance Free, Sensitive Skin Natural Beauty Bar Soap
• A La Maison Hypoallergenic Unscented Bar Soap

As long as I stick with either of these brands, my skin remains calm and irritation-free. Other products can obviously exacerbate the issue, but this helps my overall skin irritation significantly.
