Why does my glycerin soap look wet, or have sweat beads on it?

Frequently Asked Questions about Handcrafted Soap
Because I use an all natural soap base to make the glycerin bath bars, they contain a lot of glycerin. Glycerin is a humectant, it attracts moisture from the air, pulling the moisture to the soap. It may not be attractive, but it shows that the soap is high in glycerin! The soap is still perfectly good to use, just make sure you place it on a well draining soap dish between uses.

Why does sweat smell?

Health and Beauty Frequently asked questions | Boots Expert ...
The smell comes from a simple biological process - the body has bacteria specially designed to break down perspiration and it's this process that makes it smell. To keep the whiffs to a minimum, make sure you shower every day and use a good anti-perspirant or deodorant. If this isn't enough, you might need to look into more specialist products which work a little harder to keep you dry and sweeter smelling, too.

Where does the soap go?

Steam Cleaner Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The system uses only potable water and heat to sanitize and clean. This reduces the amounts and residues of "chemical" cleaning. This lowers your exposure to toxins and helps prevent further degradation of the environment at the same time. It also saves us from pouring expensive chemicals down the drain. Flushing waste down the drain ultimately contributes to the contamination of our limited fresh water resources and is costing us more in the form of more expensive sewer treatment as well.

Why do I sweat so much?

Diet and Fitness FAQ's Page One
Sweating is how your body dissipates heat and keeps its core temperature down when you are working out. Usually the more you train, the more easily you sweat, because your body knows it is going to get hot and starts working to cool itself off. There is also the possibility of some having more sweat glands than others have -- men sweat more than women do for this reason. Overall, when you find yourself sweating more easily, take it as a good sign you're really fit!

Why does it take so long to rinse the soap off my hands?

Ground Water - Introduction - FAQs
The terms "soft water" and "hard water" are important here. Water is said to be "soft" if it has a low concentration of calcium and magnesium ions in it, and "hard" water has a higher concentration. The ions react with the soap you use to produce a scummy residue that is hard to wash off. If you use "hard" water you also will have a harder time working the soap up into a lather.
