I forgot to bring facial cleanser when traveling. Can I use the hotel soap to wash my face?

Can be used to wash your face.

Benefits of washing your face with soap:

1. Soften cuticles

Wash your face with soap and soften your cuticles. You don’t have to worry about alkaline soaps harming your skin. Even with normal skin, using slightly alkaline soap can keep the skin's luster. Regularly soak in weakly alkaline hot springs. The hot spring water will slowly soften the stratum corneum, making the skin crystal clear and shiny.

2. Clean dirt and resist oxidation

Due to the constant changes in the weather, especially in hot summer, dead skin cells, oil, dust and other acidic dirt on the skin are easily clogged. However, the cleaning power of facial soap cannot be achieved by ordinary facial cleansers.

But it is worth noting that if you have allergic skin, you should use weakly acidic soap. Since the skin's resistance is relatively weak and it cannot return from alkaline to weak acidity on its own, using weakly acidic soap is the best choice for allergic skin. There is no need to use it on normal skin.

Four major precautions for washing your face with soap

1. Due to the special nature of soap, you may occasionally feel tight after use. However, because the skin has the ability to self-regulate, usually after half an hour, the sebum secretion will be even and the discomfort will disappear automatically. This is a normal metabolic process of the skin, so there is no need to be overly nervous.

2. In order to minimize irritation, it is best to apply the foam on your face instead of applying soap directly to your face. In addition, it is best to keep the foam on the face within one minute, then rinse it off with cold water, and use lotion in time for further cleansing and nourishing.

3. Use a soap box with a slot to place the soap to avoid soaking in water and causing unnecessary waste.

4. If the soap becomes soft, it may be caused by the indoor temperature being too high and the humidity being too high, causing some of the ingredients in the soap to gradually melt, so just keep it at normal room temperature.
