'Only use bar soap for your face.'
"Only use bar soap for your face." Makeup artist and beauty editor Naowshaba Ferdous says a client once credited bar soap as the reason her skin was flawless. It might seem easy to double-up what you use on your body to get rid of makeup at night, but Ferdous says this is not a smart idea for your pores on many levels. The most obvious reason is found in the ingredients. "Bar soap is generally made for our body skin which is usually less sensitive. Not only is bar soap way too harsh for the pH balance of your skin, but it also dries it out like crazy, leading to uncomfortable tightness, peeling/flakiness and premature wrinkles," she says. Instead, try a gentle face cleanser appropriate for your skin concerns, or talk to a dermatologist if you're breaking out.
