Judging from the amount of bar soap available on store shelves, there are many Americans who still use the product. It's fine to purchase the bars in pretty wrappers to toss amid your bathroom decor, but is it healthy to use every day?
In one word, NO! Contrary to popular opinion, soap doesn't kill germs, it merely washes away the microbes from your hands. Wash your hands with a soap bar and then place the bar in a dish by the sink? When you pick it up to wash the next time, there can be more germs on the wet, slippery bar than on your hands.
God has seen fit to send us liquid soap. Use it!
