How Can Harrogate Sulphur Soap Help Relieve Acne?
Sulphur Soap is not a medical treatment for acne – but can provide relief from its symptoms and used in conjunction with medical treatment can be of real benefit to sufferers.
Acne is caused by bacteria that feed on build ups of dead skin cell and oil when your skin glands are overproducing oil. Sulphur Soap cannot stop this process from happening. However, medical advice recommends that you softly and frequently wash infected areas to continually remove the build up of dead cells and oils that lie behind the disease. Some soaps, however, are more beneficial than others – and the power of Sulphur has been known since Roman times, when the first spa was established at Harrogate.
Sulphur is known scientifically as a keratolytic agent. In plain english, this means it encourages your skin to shed dead cells. As it is these dead skin cells that help to block your skin pores and create the conditions necessary for acne to flourish, frequent cleansing with a sulphur-based agent can help to lessen the symptoms.
Certain compounds of sulphur – such as sulfonamides – are believed to retard the growth of bacteria by limiting the acids that they need to reproduce.
This soap contains sulphur-rich chemicals drawn from the natural springs at Harrogate spa.
