Do You Need to Use a Facial Soap?

The short answer is: yes! There are different ingredients in soaps, to suit all sorts of different skin needs – whether your skin is dry, oily, or sensitive. When choosing a soap, you need to consider what your skin needs.Did you know that the skin on your face is different from the skin on the rest of your body? Your facial skin is much thinner than the rest of your skin. The pores on your face are also smaller, which means there is a higher concentration of oil glands in your facial skin. Furthermore, the ratio of hair follicles spread on your facial skin is second only to your scalp, which only increases your natural sebum production. All of this makes your facial skin more prone to acne, inflammation, discoloration, and issues like oiliness or dryness.It is important to use soap formulated specifically for the face when washing your face. Face soaps are more gentle. They are aimed at maintaining the delicate pH balance of healthy face skin. Different face soaps can also help you target specific issues you are having, with different moisturizing, nourishing, and deep cleansing ingredients.
