We face different kinds of people everyday. So it is really important that we should take care of our face because it would be one of the center of attention when we communicate personally with other people. How will we do so? Each of us has our own rituals of cleaning our face. Some uses facial wash, facial scrub, or just plain soap and water. For me, I use whatever is availabe. But I always buy facial wash or facial scrub. If both are not available it's the only time I use soap. How about you?

I have very sensitive skin so I can't just use anything. If I use soap it dries out my face so while I'm in the shower I just rinse off with water. If I do something through out the day that may make my face dirty I use Proactive. Their green cleansing bottle works great for my face, I love how I can see the dirt rub off on the pad that I use to wipe the cleaner on with. If I don't have Proactive then I use witch hazel. (Which is basically what Proactive's green solution is.)

It's really necessary to observe what makes our skin look more clean and smooth. If we found one then we'll stick to it. It's always good to feel beautiful. Thanks for the response!

For several months (since the start of spring ), I have been struggling with my pimples. I tried to use Olay regenerist and they didnt work. I had more pimples and my face were not as smooth and clean looking like before. Last week I went to the outlet center and purchased Clinique products. Tha big pimple on my eyebrows, after just 2 days of using the product, got dried and eventualy was healed. had I known, I could have used it earlier. The routine is soap, then clarifying lotin and moisturizer. It is #3 which is for combination to oily skin.

I basically use soap. Sometimes I use a face wash. Once in a while I exfoliate.

As for me, I use facial wash to clean my face. Before I'm using soap but just recently it kinda not good to me anymore, so I change it to mild facial wash, that is neutrogena. It really works on me great and I must say I'm quite content using it to clean my face.

Oh too sad neutragena facial wash and scrub make my face full of tiny pimples. But I do love the night cream. It makes me look young.

Uh,I use neither of them.Usually,I just use tepid water to wash my face.After washing,rubbing some emulsion of skin care.That's all I do to my face... Actually,I bought facial wash.But I'm too lazy to use it.So till now it is still intact.

wow! that's a very simple routine! I like it but for me I'm afraid I can't remove all the dirt in my face if I only use tepid water. So I really facial scrubs.Thanks for replying!

I like to use facial scrub to clean my face, sometimes facial wash can't clean it all. I don't use soap, I fill that it make my face too dry.

I use Neutrogena skin care products on my face. I find that these products do wonders for my sensitive skin. I also like Phisoderm skin care products, which work just as well.

I use soap most of the time then apply facial cleanser on my face. I don't really do much with my face. just wash it regularly with soap and water.

I tried using a facial wash before but it brought some pimples. Now, i'm using a soap with moisturizing cream for my face. Our face is really delicate so we must take very good care of it.

Never use soap, it will coarsen your skin. And I don't like using facial scrub, one of my roommates told me that her face got rough by using it when she was in high school.

I guess it would depend on the type of skin that a person have. Others will be better off with soaps, others with facial scrubs and washes. But whatever it is, the most important thing is to observe if your skin works well with the kind of product that you use. Thanks for the response lovecindyhe!

Hi friend,I always use soap.I use the same brand for years as I get acne and rashes if I change soaps often.But I feel tempted to use the new new brands of soap and face washes everyday ,but even if used for a day it doesn't agree with me.I have a very sensitive skin and I use soap to wash my face always.thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

I use facial wash on my face. Soap is way too drying for me. I use a moistruizer every day too!

I use apricot facial scrub. I find that it really helps me to control acne. It exfoliates my skain and makes my face feel so smooth. I really think it is one of the best products I ever tried. If I happen to run out because I forgot to pick up more, I use body wash. I cannot use regular bar soap at all, it dries out my skin way too much.

I use "erase" soap that moisturize, whitens and exfoliate my face. And then sometimes I use "avon naturals scrub cleanser" to scrub deep seated dirt away.
