WHY DO YOU NEED SOAP?

Im sure all of us had the day where we're in too much of a hurry to shower/bathe properly. Yes, this happened to me recently. So, i was thinking....in a hustle of the morning, why should i shower with soap.

It feels clean at first but on my way to school, i started to feel 'unclean', although i could have sworn that i'd washed my entire body properly, without soap. So i think for a while. If using soap (or not using it) be the main  trigger for uncomfortable feeling of dirtiness, and then i wonder how did the ancients survive without soap.


So, here is the answer.




Let me tell how how does soap work. Soap is made of two chemicals: a fatty acid and a base, that are attached to each other. The fatty acid end is hydrophobic, it latches on to anything else but water, so it sticks to the dirt on your skin. The base end is highly hydrophilic, and when you rinse your body with water, the base end pulls the fatty-acid with it, and all dirt with it, leaving you with clean skin.

TA-DA~!
