Can soap wash your face?

Soap can wash your face, but you should master the correct method and frequency of use.

Soap is mainly a weakly alkaline cleaner, which is suitable for some oily skin. For oily skin, you can wash your face with soap to remove excess oil from your face.

However, if it is some neutral or dry skin, washing your face with soap often can remove the sebum film on the skin surface, which will cause certain damage to the stratum corneum of the skin. Long-term use will make the skin dry, sensitive and itchy. Therefore, after washing soap, you should use some moisturizing and hydrating skin care products in time to prevent skin damage.

Don't use it often.

Therefore, we suggest that soap should not be used frequently, but can be used occasionally to clean the face. Usually, it is safer to use some facial cleanser and other products specially used for facial cleaning. Oriental skin is often divided into five types, namely dry skin, neutral skin, oily skin, mixed skin and sensitive skin.

Soap is an alkaline salt with a pH value of 9.5- 10, which consists of oil and salt. It is the simplest anionic surfactant. It can emulsify skin surface substances by forming soap salts, thus removing dirt. Compared with soap, soap has lower alkalinity, higher fat content and less irritation to skin. Mild soap can be used to clean oily skin or mixed skin.
