Many people worry that using cleansing bars on your face can lead to the spread of germs or to the dehydration of your face, among other concerns. Although some synthetic soaps do contain ingredients which can dry out your face, this fear couldn’t be farther from the truth when it comes to natural cleansing bars. There are so many great reasons to use natural cleansing bars for your face over artificial products, ranging from the way they can make you look to the way they make you feel and the way they help your skin. Here are the top 7 benefits of using cleansing bars for your face.

1. Facial Cleansing Bars Are Made Specifically For Your Face

A quality facial cleansing bar is one that is made with soft ingredients that do not contain harsh chemicals. Many soaps, even other bar soaps, contain dyes or fragrances that may irritate your skin, which runs the risk of leaving your skin itchy, blotchy, or red. Some can even strip your skin of its natural oils, which protect the body from bacteria. Definitely not what you’re looking for when you’re freshening up in the morning! A good facial cleansing bar can moisturize your face and detox your skin at the same time, and you can also rest assured that you are exposing your face to gentle ingredients that are specifically meant for your face rather than any areas of your body that need harsher attention.

2. Facial Cleansing Bars Help You Feel Refreshed

Cleansing bars for your face can help you feel soothed and relaxed after a long night or a busy day. Because facial cleansing bars are gentle, they won’t leave your skin feeling itchy, and you can feel fantastic and refreshed throughout the entire day.

• Our Lavender Skin Food facial cleansing bar is especially great for leaving your skin hydrated and healthy.

3. Cleansing Bars For Your Face Can Prevent Signs Of Aging

Our facial cleansing bars contain anti-aging and skin brightening properties. They gently cleanse, exfoliate, and freshen up your skin, which can greatly reduce the speed and depth of visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles. Our Rose Skin Food Facial Cleansing Bar doesn’t just cut down on the development of wrinkles, but it can even reverse signs of the years your skin has been through.

No matter how sensitive your skin may be, an anti-aging facial cleansing bar like this one can help you cleanse gently without damaging your skin. The French pink clay that this particular cleansing bar contains can also improve your complexion, helping your lively skin show brightly on your face.

4. Cleansing Bars For Your Face Can Fight Against Acne

Our favorite cleansing bar for helping you prevent acne is our matcha green purity soap bar, which is created from purified green tea powder, calendula flowers, shea butter, coconut milk, and other soothing ingredients that will leave you feeling as relaxed as though you were bathing in a luxury tub. There is a lot of variation in different cleansing bars, and selecting one that is designed specifically for acne prevention can help ensure the bar you choose contains the antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties that can help your skin.

• TIP - Washing your skin every day is the best way to stay refreshed and fight against the development of acne. Using gentle facial cleansing bars will allow you to wash your face multiple times throughout the day if you like without irritating your skin.

5. Facial Cleansing Bars Can Exfoliate Your Skin

If you’re looking to treat yourself to an at-home spa day, then selecting a cleansing bar specifically for exfoliation, such as our Salt Spa Bar, is an excellent choice. This cleansing bar contains the right ingredients to bring out the life in your complexion, including coconut milk, Shea butter, Turmeric powder and Pink Himalayan sea salt. An all-natural cleansing bar that is specifically made to exfoliate your skin will be especially mild, carefully removing dead skin from your face without irritating it in the process.

6. Many Cleansing Bars For Your Face Are Multi-Purpose And Last A Long Time

Although there are certain cleansing bars that may contain the best blend of ingredients to help you with a specific concern, such as bars that can fight acne or aging or exfoliate your skin, many cleansing bars for your face are multi-purpose. A multi-purpose bar can be a convenient all-in-one tool that can be easily stored in your bathroom, and best of all, bar soaps last a long time. You won’t need to replace them often, and you can safely share your cleansing bars with other people in your household if you like, as they are sterile. Cleansing bars for your face will normally contain only a few core ingredients that will help you feel refreshed, which means that cleansing bars generally don't contain the preservatives that are often used in liquid and gel soaps.

7. Cleansing Bars Are Convenient And Eco-Friendly

Bar soaps are perfect for anyone looking to adapt a minimalist and zero waste lifestyle. Cleansing bars tend to be more eco-friendly than liquid soaps, which are usually packaged in plastic bottles. They are also convenient and easy to travel with. When you bring a bar of soap on your travels, you certainly won’t need to worry about any liquid exploding in your suitcase or about anything heavy pressing down on a bottle pump and squirting soap over your books or clothes. They also take up less space in your cabinets so you can easily stock up and store several bars.

Although we love all our facial cleansing bars, our favorite would have to be the Wesh Thi Face cold process cleansing bar. This bar contains apricot oil and pink Australian clay, among other soothing ingredients such as coconut and olive oil, so your skin always stays nutrient-filled and healthy. However, this is only one of the many soothing facial cleansing bars that are offered by Clearstone. Why keep your skin rating?
