TIL that certain acidic soaps can make your skin hydrophobic
https://www.binghamton.edu/news/story/690/ingredient-found-in-soap-can-alter-wettability-of-your-skinI’m a hairy guy, so if I don’t try to squeegee my body dry with my hands, my towel won’t dry quick enough for tomorrow’s shower. A few days ago I tried a new soap and the water would just bead up on my skin. It was kinda freaky, like I took a bath in RainX. So when I finished my squeegeeing, I hardly needed a towel! At first I was worried how this might affect my skin, washing with this soap daily, but my skin is better than ever!
