Bar soap has a bad reputation for being basic and drying. But times have changed and so have the ingredients in them, making them suitable for a variety of skin types. They can be a great eco-friendly solution to liquid soaps that are filled with fragrance and other irritants.
There is a right and wrong way to use bar soap on your face. Do not use it directly on your face. You will want to wet the bar and create a lather with your hands. Apply said lather to your face in a circular motion. Rinse, and you’re good to go.
