Can Facial Soap Replace Your Face Cleanser?
A lot of people are surprised that a bar of soap can clean your face. The truth is, the right facial soap can replace your bottled cleanser. The wrong one can leave your face tight and dry. Here's how to tell the difference.
Body Soap vs. Facial Soap
The skin on your face is thinner and more sensitive than the rest of your body. That's why we make our facial soaps differently. They have extra shea butter, plus coconut milk and sea moss, and each one uses a different clay for a different skin type.
Which One Is Right for You?
- Oily or breakout-prone skin: Clarity Charcoal & Sea Moss gives a deep, fresh clean.
- Combination skin: French Green Clay & Sea Moss helps balance oily spots.
- Dry or sensitive skin: Rose Clay & Sea Moss is soft and gentle.
- Dull skin: Turmeric & Vitamin C Sea Moss is bright and fresh.
How to Use a Facial Soap
- Wet your face with warm water.
- Rub the bar between your wet hands to make a lather. Don't rub the bar on your face.
- Gently massage the lather on your face for about 30 seconds.
- Rinse well and pat dry.
- Follow with your moisturizer.
When You Might Want Something Else
If you wear heavy makeup, you may want to take it off first. If you have a skin condition, ask your dermatologist what's best for you.
Our Tip
Keep your facial soap separate from your body soap, and let it dry between uses. A small soap dish by the sink works great.
