Hi All,
I guess, most of us are aware of using soap on face is not good as the face wash. Soap are more harsh than the face wash. Recently, i purchase a facewash from one brand which made of pure natural and you won't its amazing.
I have come across some of the people didn't use facewash neither soap on thier face. Whenever we went outside dirt stuck on our face and by washing with water only is not enough and soap are also harsh for the face skin. How about you all. You prefer using face wash or soap or just water. Thank you

I use special face wash, because I have a serious acne problem, so I have to wash my face deeply every day to remove fat, dirt and bacteria from the skin.

Haven't tried that one. I use Sebamed Clearface face wash. It's more like a foam, has an antibacterial effect. But my case seems to be quite serious, because I've tried many different face creams and stuffs, even antibiotics, but they had no effect. The best anti-acne tool is the natural sun. I don't have almost any acne in summer, but after the end of the summer things change drastically, and it's back again.

Hi Biome,
For me during summer i got more pimples or acne because of the hotness. My skin becomes oily and if i don't care properly then the oil and the dirt wich stuck on the face forms the acne more.
The weather also brings lots of changes in our skin. when i go to my hometown all my acne disappear very soon. But i can't stay at my hometown since my workplace is in here where i'm staying right now. The place i stay is quite hot. Here in winter my skin becomes better.
For you, if Natural Sun work then thats great and easy to treat. Sometime it happens during teenage due to harmonal change. The best and easy treatment are
1. drink lots and lots of water
2. eat lot of fresh fruits and drink fresh juice.
3. sleep on time
4. avoid spicy food and outside food and vice versa........

Hi dear!
I prefer using face wash or a better quality soap, if face wash is unfortunately not available or has exhausted. I have felt that washing face with face wash gives you better skin and better feeling.

HI there, I have used soap and facial wash too. Then layely when I went to the dermatologists she prescribed me to use a mild soap. She prefered for me to use Ivory soap because my skin is oily and I suffer from breakouts too.
But I have noticed that when I use soap or facial wash my face is still oily and still suffers from breakouts. Hmmm...

Since i also have acne prone skin my skin is also oily and breakouts are there. I have try soap which was prescribe by a dermology however, it doesn't help me much.
Now, my skin is much more beter than before. I drink lots of water and lots of fresh juice. Avoid spicy foods. sleep on time. If posible use natural product face wash which contain neem ingredient.

I have the theory that less is more. I look back at the "old days" and see some nice skin. Think of your mothers and grandmas and all the pictures you see from way back when. I thnik the reason their skin looks so good is because all they had was soap and water. They didn't have the choice of face washes and moisturizers and masks,etc.
I think the same is true about hair. I have done a lot of things to my hair. But look at someones who has virgin hair. It is healthy and shiny naturally.
But that is just my opinion.

Hi i'm completely agree with your opinion. In olden period they have a very great skin much better than ours. Thier skin was glowing, markless, and naturally beautiful. But now can we have the same........its no for me. And WHY ????
Becuase environment changed. Its difficult time to get organic food, pure water, and the worst is pollution blah...blah... So all these indirectly affect our body.

hi there asfiona,
i totally agree! using soap on your face is really harsh so anyone should really stop doing so. I personally use facial wash for my daily regimens and it really helps on cleaning away dirt and oil from my face. ^_^

Yes using facewash is more good. It cleanses more deeper and remove dirts properly while soap would not be that good as f.wash. If we wash face using facewash in a circular motion regular it helps to minimize pores as well.

i used to use facial wash for several years, but lately it has become very expensive. i also know that soap nowadays are made with different formula. maybe it is not considered to be used in the face anymore. so what i did is i just bought dove soap, which is also an expensive soap, but cheaper than facial wash. i use it for face only. it is cheaper and lasts longer. i have it using it for more than a year and i dont see any difference.

I have also tried the dove soap on my face and yes, it is ver mild not like other soap. No doubt its mild, easy to afford but i have no idea how good it is for oily skin. I think for normal is okay.
Just wondering for a person who do lots of make up or like the normal make up will it be good enough to remove all dirts? I doubt?!! Well, for those who wore less make up would fine. Dove is one good option in soap.

Hmm this is a question that i encounter quite regurlarly, almost everyday actually...
I use facewash when i'm not in a hurry. However sometimes i just grab that bar of soap and wash away...it depends on whether i'm in a hurry or not i guess. But of course using normal bath soap on your face is not as good as using facewash. However , if we can use normal soap on our skin without any major problems then i suppose using that soap on our face wouldn't hurt?
