Can soap be used to wash your face? What are the benefits?

Many people have used soap to wash their faces, but there is still a lot of controversy about whether it is good to wash your face with soap. Soap is an alkaline substance, and the human face secretes a kind of oil. If you wash your face with soap too much, it will destroy the oil and make your face vulnerable to damage. For those whose faces are prone to oil secretion, washing their faces with oil can have a great effect.

Benefits of washing your face with soap:

1. Soap is good for cleansing the face. The cleaning ability of soap for washing your face is beyond the reach of ordinary facial cleansers. For example, Safeguard has a patented formula that has a high inhibitory and killing effect on Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, yeasts and viruses. Therefore, the bactericidal and antibacterial ingredients in soap can provide long-term protection for the facial skin. Soap can be an antioxidant. In summer, dead keratin cells, oil, dust and other acidic dirt on the skin can easily clog the pores. Soap can help us clean the pores in time and prevent the acidic dirt from oxidizing and causing skin aging.

2. Soap can exfoliate. Washing your face frequently with soap will slowly soften the cuticle, thus making your skin translucent and shiny. Wet your face with warm water to make sure your pores are fully open, then put the cleanser in the palm of your hand and work it into a foam. Gently massage 15 times. After applying the foam on your face, massage in light circles. Never rub your face hard with a towel to avoid causing wrinkles. Look in the mirror and check if there is any residual soap foam around your hairline. This step is often overlooked, which makes some people prone to acne. Finally, use both hands to scoop up cold water and wash your face about 20 times, and at the same time gently apply a towel dipped in cold water to your face. Doing this can tighten your pores and improve blood circulation in your face.

How to wash your face with soap:

1. In winter, our skin often feels tight, and many people easily mistake this for dry skin. In fact, it is very likely that this is oily skin.

2. Any skin is undergoing metabolism and excreting waste from the face. Only proper removal will prevent it from remaining on the surface of the skin like dead branches and leaves. Over time, it will affect sebum secretion and make the skin tight. If we do not clean our skin in time and stubbornly believe that we have dry skin and apply heavy, greasy cosmetics, it will further inhibit the secretion of sebum, which will cause greater damage to the skin.

3. We all know that facial cleansing is very important, so is it good to wash your face with soap? Some soaps also contain alkaline ingredients, which can damage the skin when used to wash your face. However, we can pay attention to the method of using soap to wash our face and remove dirt. We can choose to wash our face with soap once every morning. After removing the dirt, the alkalinity can be neutralized under the buffering effect of human skin.

4. After washing your face with soap, you will often feel your skin is dry. This is because when the soap removes dirt, it damages the sebum membrane secreted on the surface of the epidermis to resist external stimuli. Once the sebum loses the sebum membrane, it is equivalent to losing the protective layer, and our skin is also easily damaged.

5. However, this sebum film can be secreted again and will reappear after two hours. However, during this period we should immediately apply lotion to maintain moisture. During the cleansing process, we must wash off the soap on our face. The residual soap liquid can easily cause small wrinkles on our skin, some of which are even serious enough to cause skin cracking.
