    favorite soaps that don’t dry out skin?!

    @guidance I don't use this for my kid (unless she has marker or something on her face), but I really like vanicream bar soap as a face and body soap. I like that it is bar soap, so the only packaging is a cardboard box. And its PH is actually pretty low (5.5 I think) for soap. Much closer to...
