Can I use sulfur soap everyday?

A customer asked, "Can I use Shanghai sulfur soap to clean my skin every day?" If you're using sulfur soap just for washing your hands, that's fine. As we all know, sulfur soap contains sulfur, which has bactericidal, mite-removal, and sebaceous gland secretion-inhibiting effects. It has certain preventive and auxiliary treatment effects on skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, pimples, and acne. However, it is not advisable to use Shanghai sulfur soap for daily skin cleansing. For the general population, if it's just for cleansing purposes like washing hair, face, or body, intermittent use of sulfur soap is recommended.

If you're using it to treat acne, pimples, or itching, you can start by using it twice a day, then reduce to once a day as symptoms improve, and eventually reduce to once every three days before stopping. If you're using it just to remove fungi, bacteria, or mites from your body, using it 1-2 times per week is sufficient. Although sulfur soap has certain benefits, it is not recommended for daily use to avoid potential adverse effects on the skin.

For babies and young children, since their skin is delicate, it’s best not to use Shanghai sulfur soap. We recommend using skin cleansing products specially designed for infants.
