Its crazy buth it actually works. For me anyway. I used the tone body wash with the little exfoliating scrub beads and it is working so far.

Way too harsh for my very dry skin. I use an all natural, all organic, soap free gentle cleanser on my face.

I use Shikai products that are 100% natural. I can shower, take a bubble bath or wash a baby in it.
Dry skin is a candidate for eczema if the DNA is present.

After all, your face IS part of your body...I can't see where it would hurt anything--I use Camay Barsoap on my face--my skin hasn't fallen off yet!

I don't think it would be a problem, but be careful with some of those exfoliating products. I read that there are skin washes with exfoliants that can make micro tears in the skin. Our body skin is tougher than our face, so if you need something with an exfoliant, there are facial products out there specifically made for that.

Otherwise, a regular body wash used on the face I don't think would be a problem if your skin is oily.

I've been using Dove body wash since it came out and I use it on my face too

Face is still there

NO, NO, a thousand times, NO!!!! It's way too harsh on my face. Actually, I consider most soaps and body washes too harsh in general. Only Dove and Caress are doable on my body and only in small doses. I prefer Kiss My Face brand.

But yes, it works fine for some.

It might not be good for people with sensitive or dry skin but for normal skin, soap is just soap, whether it's for your body or face.

I only use Dove unscented on my face, but I have sensitive skin.

Honestly, there are some pretty harsh chemicals in some of those washes.... I would be careful... you only have one face......
