Best Answer

It binds with the oils naturally produced by your skin, making it so water can rinse it off.

Soap separates water from oils, causing the oils to rise (along with dirt, bacteria, etc.) into it's lather. Which is then rinsed away, down you drain. Sometimes, it may leave your skin feeling dry or irritated. Also, the scent formulas used in some soaps may be inflammatory to your skin, causing redness, dryness, or itching

Laundry detergent works in my the same way, but is chemically enhanced to remove stains, protect threads, and rinse out.

Dish soap, also, works in much the same way, but is designed to act like alcohol and evaporate without residue.<div></div></div>
