soap or face wash?

Question

i have used many many different kinds of face wash and nothing seems to work. it just makes me break out even more. should i use a certain kind of soap? i am scared to start using different things because my forehead breaks out and i get way more blackheads on my nose than i already have... thank you!

Answer 1

dont ever ever use regular bar soap on your face. its very mild and it will make your skin very very dry. to get blackheads off your nose, try using biore blackhead peeling nose strips. it takes out the blackheads and its fun. to wash away your acne, try using clearsil ultra 3 day guarantee gel. dont use the cream one because its so creamy, its hard to make a foam and it will make your skin dry. and the best part is that if it doesnt work, you can get a full refund in 3 days. but honestly, it worked for me and im happy with the results!

Answer 2

did you use all of your products for at least a month and still keep breaking out or use it a couple times breakout and quit cause if u did #2 that means its working but ur skin is just reacting to the chemicals which will later stop but if u did #1 then try natural stuff like when u get a zit put crushed asprin and lemon on it on it over night or toothpaste or even a black tea bag which i am trying now while im typing, wash ur face w/ cool green tea and use coffee grinds and uuu darn iforgot but u scrub it as an exfoliater o well

hope i helped

Acne is a funny thing. Everyone always told me that diet had nothing to do with acne, but I disagree. The only time in my life, I haven't had any acne is when I do use any diary products, eat no red meat (or pork) and no sugar. Lots of water and diet and exercise help too. You should just find a gentle soap and use it 2x a day. Keep your hair clean and away from your face. Keep your pillow case clean. Do not touch! Masks are good too. But consider your diet and just try for a little while to eat better and see if it helps.

Well, my great grandmother used to always use the Noxema lotion on her face and she said it kept her face nice and soft and she had been using it ever since she was a teen. After she died, I was in a store and they have a noxema face wash. I figured that since the lotion was so great, I'd try the face wash and it works incredibly well. My face is clear and soft. I usually wash my face with it and then I use the noxema lotion at night. I would only use it at night though because the smell isn't very thrilling. Other than that though, both products are great to use.

Soap strips natural oils that your skin needs to maintain moisture. Use a mild cleanser such as cetaphil or dove for sensitive skin. I've found that acne prone skin responds well to Proactiv, but you need an oil-free moisturizer (Neutrogena makes a good one!) in addition to the system.

Answer 6

The simple answer is- no don't use soap its too harsh. For acne use a fash wash with benzoyl peroxide and for black heads a scrub.

If your skin gets dry follow washing with moisturizer. :)

Answer 7

Ivory soap and hot water works good then put something on for dry skin.

Answer 8

never use soap, even if it says facial soap, it is to harsh on your skin. always use a face wash to wash your face!

Have you tried 'Neutrogena' facial soaps? They also have body soaps. My husband has very sensitive skin and he loves them.
