So is it better just to use bar soap than buying face wash??

Yes. I use Dove soap, unscented, on my face. It doesn't dry it out like face washes for acne do but because it's balanced it helps the oily and very dry skin...I have combination type.





Bar soap is a vague description. There are other bar soaps that do dry your skin out. Dial is one of them. Dove bar soap, Olay, Caress...those are the only good bar soaps.





If you do want to buy face wash, the only one that has worked on acne and not dried my skin out was Equate face wash (WalMart's brand). Clearsil and Clean %26amp; Clear were awful, dried me up and actually gave me more acne than before I started.So is it better just to use bar soap than buying face wash??
Use Aveeno bar soap if you have normal to dry skin. If you have oil skin then the bar will not help. If you use body soap on your face, you will dry out the skin. Your skin will feel really tight and you'll be unhappy with it.


Aveeno bar soap is always with the other face washes/scrubs and usually costs less than the others, but works really well.So is it better just to use bar soap than buying face wash??
Bar soap is very drying to the face, I recomend the following:





for dry/flakey skin: Olay intense moisture facial cleanser





for oily/acne prone: St.Ives Apricot scrub for oily/acne prone skin





for normal/combination skin: Nutrugena Daily pore cleanser for norlal/combination skin
if you use a bar soap, use dove. nothing else.
I use face wash. I stopped using bar soap when I discovered all the bacteria that grows on it while it's siting on the bath tub wet. However, bar soap is cheaper and dove soap is the most natural one. So if you use bar soap buy dove.
well it depends, is the bar soap specially formulated for use on the face...


I know neutrogena and the body shop, as well as clinique have products like that...and if thats what your talking about, keep the bar clean...as in in a closed soap dish


I wouldnt use irish spring though or anything in that catagory, talk about breakouts and really dry skin
No way!!! Everyone should take good care of their face.Washing it with soap is definitely not it.You should buy a facial cleanser.The best thing to do would be to find out what your skin type is then choose a facial wash that suits your skin-and needs-best.
bar soap is made of lots of fats and these are horrible for your pores, try a body wash for your body and a face wash for your face or a glycerin bar. they ar ethe best..
Don't use bar soap. Use a cleanser, like Philosophy's Purity. You'll be amazed at the results.
If the bar soap is a face wash, then I think it won't cause your skin to be as sensitive compared to a bar soap for your body. Plus they do seem to be cheaper than a gel face wash.
Liquid or creme facial wash is better, it will not dry out, do not have to worry about storage and it is more sanitary..
No bar soap should be used to clean your beautiful face!!! It is too drying, get a facial wash suitable for your face.
