The zit problem sounds like a good reason. An unscientific observation on my part is that kids that are raised in a sterile environment tend to be more sickly than kids that are allowed to get down and dirty. It makes sense to me because they are allowed to actually develop resistance to bacteria. Because of that, I tend to vote against using anti-bacterial soaps.

One would need to track down the causation; it could also be that parents of children who get sick more often try to take more precautions.

Let your kids play in the dirt, just make 'em wash up afterwards. It is hard to build a immune system watching TV or playing video games.
