I know they say not to use soap on your skin because it dries out the skin, but I've heard Dove is good for your skin, and it's not considered to be the same as regular soap. Just wanted to know. Thanks guys!

sorry darling, but soap is soap & you should never use it on your face! this will not only clog your pores but also dry out your skin, and even dove does this, even though they, and other soap companies, claim they won't. use a soap free, fragrance free, non-comodogenic skin cleanser, preferably all natural like Burt's Bees.

Facial cleansing products depend a lot on your age. There are soaps formulated specifically for your face but a lot rides on your skin type. If you have oily skin, then a soap formulated for that would be your best bet.
I used to use Dove on my face throughout my twenties, but have switched to a cleansing cream now that I am pushing 40. The older you get, the more moisture you will need.

NO WAY! It still dries your face which is going to increase the signs of aging. Use a system based on your type of skin. Clarifying for oily, Moisture for dry, and Time Defiance for people over 30. You can find them at sblandino.qhealthbeauty.com

Dove would be Fine.
Every day, I just use a regular bar of bath soap and it works beautifully. If you want to use dove, go ahead. but it's fine to use any other bath soap.

no. it is not. use a real face wash like arbonne or aveeno. these wil help your skin and prevent fom break outs. Dove is kida fake. i dont want to sound like abrat, but the more expensive it is, the better it is for your skin. dove is cheap. it is okay for washing your body but not ur face.

don't use soap on your face, because, yeah, it is drying. And it can clog your pores,too. You're better off using a lightweight cleanser like Noxzema Continuous Clean Foaming Cleanser, followed by a non-greasy moisturizer like the classic pink Olay stuff.

Some people swear by it, but in my opinion it is too drying and not meant for face. Your best bet is to use a gentle face wash that will get out all impurities out (make sure to buy one for your skin type, i.e. oily, dry etc.)

My daughter goes to the dermatologist. And I have bought her so many expensive cleansers (Including proactive) and makeup over the years. His advice was for her to use Dove soap to clean her face. I was shocked. And better yet..It is super cheap, if you go on their website you can sign up and they send you coupons. She likes the feel of it because it is not overdrying.
Dove has been around for years and years.

Some people do like dove.
I actually use products that hydrate you not strip you of your skin (not that dove will).
Give it a shot - I think it's PH balanced and that is important with your face and skin care regime.
