I've noticed some changes in my skin color with different soaps. Normally, my skin tone is cream-colored, but using Santoor soap seemed to make it lighter and better. However, when I switched to Mysore Sandal soap, my skin started looking darker. Someone mentioned that Santoor soap is meant for women, so I stopped using it. Can you suggest a different soap that might help my skin get back to its original color? I'm really curious and a bit concerned about how this keeps happening.

Soap preference can be personal and skin-type dependent. To help you find a suitable soap, consider the following: 1. _Look for soaps with natural ingredients_: Soaps containing ingredients like coconut oil, olive oil, or shea butter can be gentle and nourishing. 2. _Avoid harsh soaps_: Soaps with high pH levels or containing harsh chemicals can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and darkening. 3. _Opt for fragrance-free or hypoallergenic soaps_: These soaps are less likely to contain irritating ingredients that can affect your skin tone. Some soap options you can consider: 1. _Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar_ 2. _Nivea Soft Moisturizing Soap_ 3. _Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser_ 4. _Himalaya Herbals Gentle Bathing Soap_
