What cleaner do you use on your face?

[manlymatt83]

So I didn't get the memo and no one ever told me you're not supposed to use soap on your face. So for my entire life, when in the shower, I'd scrub my face with soap just like everything else.

Well, today, I finally found out you're not supposed to do that. So, what are guys supposed to use instead?

 

[LinuxIdiot]

I use this stuff

mainly for the exfoliation and the scent

Water... it's a solvent you know.

Yeah, that's just so they can sell you expensive soap in a tube. Unless you have super dry skin regular soap isn't going to hurt your face.

I don't use cleaner, just rinse with soap and water in the shower after shaving and use aftershave balm.

I use clearasil. I get sweaty at work so I definitely need it.

 

[Dominato3r]

Used to use some of that morning burst stuff with the bursting beads. It made your face feel all clean and cold.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I use mostly dihydrogen monoxide for general cleaning.

 

[BudAshes]

Just water and steel wool.

After it's gone I'll probably go back to something simple purchased from our local Target.

Cetaphil Daily Cleanser. I've had multiple dermatologists recommend it. They also make a sensitive skin version which is nice because it will dry out your skin less.

Every few days I use a light exfoliator.

Dove for men bar soap. It works a lot better than other bar soaps I've used.

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

In all seriousness, just water. Anything else, even stuff for sensitive skin such as Cetaphil, seems to cause me to break out.

That's lotion, but their lotion is good too. It feels light, it's not greasy, and it won't clog your pores.

lol you're right.

lol I know

I've never had a problem with zits or acne or anything, so I just rinse my face with water and call it good. It never feels dry or oily at all.

I love having great skin.

 

[Rumpltzer]

Olay foaming face wash. Comes in a tube or a pump, but it's basically the same stuff either way.

They sell it at Target. Nothing fancy, smells fine, doesn't have strong after-scent.


Tried Cetaphil from Costco, but it smelled like sadness and I didn't like it.

this

 

[DrPizza]

... whatever shampoo runs down over my face. A lot of the time, after lathering my hair, if it isn't running over my forehead into my eyes, I'll wipe some of the lather onto my face to shave. (Otherwise I just use water to shave.)

 

[Chiropteran]

My puppy cleans my face with his tongue every morning to wake me up.

 

[Colt45]

Ammonia or lye, depending on how greasy it is that day.

I'm gifted with good skin, so I use nothing. Just soap.
