Is it OK to use a bar of soap on your face?!


Question: Is it OK to use a bar of soap on your face!?
Well!.!.!. I'm wondering; is it OK to use a bar of soap on your face!?

I'm 15, I've never had a huge issue with acne, really!. But sometimes I do get some!.

I've generally always used some kind of face wash or cream to wash my face, but lately I've just been using a generic bar of Dove soap!.
I just want to know if it's healthy or not for my skin!.

I know (or, I hope) the face wash is good for my skin,
but it still feels somewhat oily when I use it!.

When I just use regular soap, my skin feels soft and nice!.
But I don't wanna use it if my skin is actually getting damaged!.

Answers:
I have been troubled with acne for years!. 5 different dermatologists recommend using Dove because it's not harsh and does not strip away the oils on your skin like harsher detergent-based soaps do!. All skin needs lubrication, so if you strip the oils away entirely, it will only redouble it's production to compensate!.

Some face washes are good if they don't strip too much oil away!. It's a balancing act and every skin type is different!. Use a gentle cleanser and one that leaves it clean without that tight, dry feeling!. If Dove works for you, great! You may also want to try Cetaphil!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you are worried about it damaging your skin then why do you use it on the rest of your body!? Your face is the same skin!.!.!. It doesn't transform into something special!. You'll be fine with the generic soap!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

it will dry out your skin unless its olay soap!.!. or specified for face washing!.!. in general using a bar of soap is not the best thing to do!.!. use the ones that come in a bottle!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dove is ok or Cetaphil but you don't want to use regular ole' soap because it can dry your face out and make it worse!. Use some moisturizer afterwards though for anything like that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
