Keep These Bar Soaps Off Your Face! Dr. Mandell

[@ladytn8209]

I have used Dove unscented bars and Aveeno lotion for my face for over 30 years, and at age 52 ,they have not failed me. I live by the motto, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I stopped using the scented bars on my face years ago...broke me out bad. My skin looks great now.

[@sellselfishshellfish]

Dove is not soap, it's a syndet bar, but it's safe to use like soap because syndets are made differently than soap thus the different name.

[@ladytn8209]

@EmbraceAllah this would be correct. This is why I said I use the Dove bar...

[@pias-04]

​@@sellselfishshellfish I use it like 10 years for my body wash daily but people complain about some bad odor emits from me when I'm all sweat. Is it anyhow related to dove sope?

[@randomchicaontheinternet9971]

When I started using dove I noticed that my underarms still has a musty smell even after cleansing twice in the shower. Switched to an actual soap (for my underarms) and the smell went away completely. Use an antibacterial soap for your sweaty areas and dove elsewhere.@@pias-04

I buy unscented goats milk soap from a small local farm and it is so gentle and moisturizing that it makes my skin glow, which is saying a lot when you’re 70 years old. I also have great luck with seventh generation’s unscented products.

I am a soapmaker and that is not soap. That is a syndet bar. I use my soap from head to toe. I no longer need deoderant and hardly use lotion or cream. Keep in mind not all soaps are formulated the same but no soap should leave your face feeling that way. Find a soapmaker that uses natural colorants, essential oils, resins and isolates or unscented. Make sure the soap you use has a higher superfat (unsaponifiable oils) when using on your face. Always test first.

@@smoothwill If you are washing your body more than 2 to 3 times per week, I recommend soap vs syndet bars. This recommendation is based off studies and advise from chemist, dermatologist and others deemed experts. If you are washing once or twice a week, then it should not be a problem to use either soap or syndet. I "bathe" between washes. For example, I will use baking soda, raw apple cider vinegar, small amount of all natural clay such as bentonite or dead sea mud, jojoba mixed with a small amount of essential oils. If you have sensitive skin, get a medical professional to check your gut health and a dermatologist for your skin. Frequencies and microwaves can also be a factor to consider.

@@nicholasmerlino293 your acid mantel takes about 48 hrs to adjust afyer washing with a bar of soap and or a syndet bar. We are not supposed to wash as often as we do. 1 to 2 times per week is enough. Ivory (bar) is soap, however I have not read the label for the liquid ivory soap(possibly syndet). I have no problem using a syndet bar and/or liquid. It is definitely affordable and does the job. I prefer soap because I wash 3 times or more a week depending on the time of year and how nasty I may be at the time. I do my best to bathe vs washing. I will take a quick rinse (sometimes) in the shower. Next I will fill my tub with warm water, some baking soda, raw apple cider vinegar, small amount of natural clays, and finally a mixture of jojoba with a small amount of essential oils. I submerge myself from head to toe and gently spounge my body and run my fingers through my scalp. I choose soap vs syndet due to the fact that there are no synthetic detergents, artificial bubbling agents, and I wash more than twice a week.

I have been using bar soaps to wash my face and body since forever. Im 52 but everyone guesses I'm 35. I only use good quality soap with natural ingredients that almost have no scent, light colour, and no strange slippery ingredients that stick to my skin. My main goal has always been to be able to wash the soap off without leaving anything behind, then immediately moisturizing with a simple unscented clear "hand cream". I NEVER use body wash, only natural unscented simple bar soap. Mostly traditional French bar soap. Other factors to my youthful skin could be daily rigorous gym workouts, eating relatively healthy food, and good skin DNA, frequent exfoliation using only a wet facecloth, good quality mineral water, little sun exposure, and no alcohol.
