I just wanted to know about this. My facial skin, especially nose is always oily. And my partner says that its not good to wash your face using soap that we use to bath. Is there any special soap for face wash or it is just a cream? how often you wash or we must wash our face daily?

You can use any soap to apply in your face during your face wash, there is no specail soap is required to apply in your face.. Incase of any specific problem in your faces, then only you have meet and consult the doctor, and use the soaps as per his/her prescribtions.. In the normal body, you can use any of the bath soap you can use for your face wash.. I used to wash twice in a day, but if you want your face will become pimple free and needs to be bright, you can wash your face, with the clean normal water as many times as your need, with or without applying Soap.. This will give you a fresh feelings always.. Try the same.. and keep it Cool.. Have a good day..

The key is to find a soap that does not contain vegetable fats or the equivalent. I personally have oily skin as well so use sulfur soap or sometimes glycerine based soaps to help overcome this. There are many face washes etc on the market as well that are made for oily skin types but they do tend to be expensive. Even water mixed with a citrus like lemon or lime juice can help break down skin oils as well. You should definitely wash your face at LEAST once a day; especially if you have oily skin.

Actually it depend on your skin type. For me, I can use any type of facial cleanser including bar soap to wash my face. My husband uses the bathing bar soap to wash his face. But in your case with an oily nose you can try using an oil control facial cleanser/foam. Many do not encourage using bar soap - the one we use for bathing mainly the reason is because it can cause dryness to ones face. For my case it does not dry my face cos I apply moisturizer after washing. I hope this helps
