What bar of soap do you use to wash your face?

Hello,

I am looking to change the face wash I use, it doesn’t travel well and comes in a plastic bottle. I would like to go back to using bars of soap but at a loss as to which is best and most comfortable for my skin. I have combination prone to acne, what do you use and how does it make your skin feel?

  • I use Gruum facial bars, they are very good, non drying and they do one for acne prone skin.  Not cheap at £10 but they last for months.  
    Their shampoo and conditioner bars are brilliant too, my very fine hair looks fuller and I now only need to wash it every other day.  Gruum often have special offers if you sign up to the website.

    If you are interested in Gruum, I think a small one of their face bars is included in their pay postage only introductory offer.
    But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,
    Had the whole of their cash in his care.

    I got a free shampoo bar and a lovely bamboo comb recently, just paid the postage.  I’ve just got an email from them, a free gift for a friend, shampoo bar, soap and the comb.  

    I haven’t used the shampoo yet, I’m waiting until I go swimming.  I’m pleased to read the reviews as they are generally good.

    Can I ask which shampoo bar you use, please?

    @Devongardener I will do that. The charcoal bar looks to be the best one for me

    I get mine from TK Maxx, no specific brand. I use for face and body, I choose based on ingredients and fragrance. I'm currently using a milk and honey one, it's lovely.

    I've tried a few and gone back to Imperial Leather. It seems to be gentle on my skin all over and doesn't dry it out at all.
    I did get a garnier milk cleanser when there was a good offer. I use it like a face wash in the shower.
    In the past I've used Aqueous cream, decanted it into a small tub and added a brop or two of lavender oil to make it smell like the expensive stuff I used to use. :) that's pretty good for problem skin.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
