Sweat from our skin removes the toxins from our body. Our body sweats through the tiny pores present on the skin. Sweat contains oil, dead cells and other toxins present in our body. If this sweat is not removed or cleaned properly, it can lead to many implications.

But the synthetic or artificial soaps which we use now a days are harsh on the skin and closes this pores. Without these pores sweat is not removed and so the toxins from our body. These toxins get accumulated in our skin which gives rise to many problems.
