Is it Better to Wash Your Makeup off with or without Soap? ?

Question

I've heard before that using soap is bad for your face in the long run. Is this true or is it ok to wipe of makeup with soap and a towel?

Thank You :)

Answer 1

i always wash my makeup off with cold water when i don't have makeup remover with me.I never had tried to use soap because I am sometimes afraid when I wash off my eye makeup the soap will get into my eyes.I thnk its better to wash your face with cold water then some face wash.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Well i find the best thing to get make up off is using make up wipes i do not use soap on my face as it can dry up your skin and make spots come.

Answer 4

If you do use soap i think it helps if you buy stuff that isnt really scented

But the best thing for getting make up off is baby wipes

Answer 5

don't use soap, it's not good for your skin. you can use eye make up remover, but no soap.

Answer 6

Don't use soap, use cleansing gel or something :)

or get some cleansing wipes to remove your make up, they work just as well and it saves you having to go to the sink. but you should still wash your face haha (=

Answer 7

Answer 8

It's not a bad idea, but soap I find dries out your face after awhile. I'd recommend buying face wipes or some kind of make-up remover.

Answer 16

soap and water followed by a moisturizer.

Answer 17

well if its regular soap no id use warm water.

Answer 18

soap can dry out your skin and cause irritation it's best to go buy some makeup removers because they are made to be gentle on your face and moisturize as well.

Answer 19

I think it's better to wash it off with a soap made just for face.

Water alone may not take off all the makeup, like eyeliner or eyeshadow.

Answer 20

White Dove-brand soap is a good soap for faces, according to my doctor.  Also, cold cream or makeup removal cream is a good, moisturizing alternative to soap.  

Answer 21

true, i think its better to use face cleansers or face washes for ur face as opposed to using harsh soap, what soap does is get the face very hard, and it will dry out the face .Not good at all.

Answer 22

id try using face wash or makeup remover wash, soap can sometimes irritate your face, it did to me, and my face was red for like 3 days. but if you really want to use soap use dove soap,it helps your skin,a dn amkes it soft and removes the makeup. just as good.

Answer 23

Don't use soap the soap scum from it will clog your pores. And don't use sulfuric acid either unless you have acne or it will dry out your skin. My suggestion is to go to a mall of find a Merle Norman store somewhere and ask the makeup lady in there what is best for you.

Answer 24

I wouldn't use soap.  Use some sort of face cream and a towel and it will be removed MUCH easier without scrubbing.
