To avoid irritation and excess dryness, you can also opt for a specialized facial cleanser instead.

This will be a great way to start up with the covering of blemishes, another thing we should be careful of is the way we walk our hands through our faces, we don’t need to apply too much pressure on the face as this will risk redness and irritation. Instead, use soft, circular motions to massaging the bar soap into damp skin, while we allow it does the heavy lifting.
