What can I wash my face with in the shower that won't dry me out?

I know this sounds like some sort of set-up for a stupid commercial, but...





I'm a guy, and I usually have washed my face with whatever bar soap I've got handy in the shower, like Dial or Irish Spring. But my whole face has started to dry up and flake. I used a roommate's bodywash with a moisturizer and it seemed to help. What can I use to wash my face in the shower that will keep me moisturized for the entire day that's inexpensive and readily available at any major grocery store or drugstore? Thanks.

The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.


Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC diffrence in my blackeads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!

Reply:I would try Dove bar soap. It keeps your skin very moisturized and smooth. I've found that most Dove products (lotions, soaps, creams, etc) have always helped to keep skin very moisturized and smooth without getting oily. Try various products - they can get a little expensive sometimes, but if you want the best results it will cost a bit more. Good luck! :)
Reply:you dont need a product to mousturize with, just buy some face lotion and apply it after you get out of the shower.
