Can I wash face with regular stuff?

Question

I know washing your face with only water two times a day won't help THAT much.

But let's just say that it was impossible to acquire or buy any product such as Proactiv or Oxy.

Can I wash my face with any regular soap, such as Dial soap? Handwashing soap, etc?

I don't know too much about moisturizers for the face either, is it possible to use regular lotion for your face/forehead?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you must wash with soap, look for face washing soap. I think they have them at stores.. I saw them in hotels..

Go walgreens or target and ask them for face washing stuff. theres tons of brands.

Neutrogena, clean and clear.. cheapest is St Ives. and its very effective.

Regular lotion/body lotion might be a little clogging for your skin, try to look for a face lotion.

Answer 2

yes you can wash your face with regular soap, but it will make your face very dry, so i'd suggest to not do it regularly, maybe maximum once a day , but you'd definitely need to moisturize your face, if you can't get face moisturizers i guess regular lotion may help too but it won't be as good as the ones for face, if you find your skin getting too dry/peeling then just wash your face with soap like every other day and the other days try to just wash it with water, but always put lotion on your face =] every night before going to sleep

Answer 3

NO WAY! Regular soap are way too harsh for your delicate face's skin. their acidity level is too high, which will make ur face skin taut and dry. Buy a proper facial product, even if u're a guy.

By the way, moisturizers are good for ur skin. it replenishes moisture that's lost and keeps them supple.

a brand to recommend = Himalaya.

it's great.

and Oh ya! put it on after shower or after washing your face, before you go to bed.

hope this helps. =)

you shouldn't use proactive or oxy anyways. oxy has alcohol in it, and they're both terrible for the skin.

you shouldn't wash your face with regular soap as it has a ton of additives, scents, etc. it can dry out your skin horribly and give you acne. however, and unscented bar soap like dove or neutrogena can work. cetaphil is also a really good, simple face cleanser (comes in bar as well as liquid).

you shouldn't use regular body lotion on your face because it will clog your pores, give you zits, and make your skin oily. skin on the face is very different from the rest of the body, so you have to use products specifically made for the face.

i don't know if you are, but if you're worried about acne but can't afford pricey treatments, a just as effective solution is to buy either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid over the counter. they're super cheap (a couple of dollars) and work even better than things like proactive, because they don't have all those additives.

Answer 7

i would have to say that washing your face with soap and water are best. it cleans the pores efficiently.. i dont use anything else on my skin like Oxy or Proactiv because they make my skin worse before better.. soap will clean them out in incroment so not to bring all kinds of nasty stuff out all at once

Answer 8

No, do not wash your face with soap. Way too drying
