While regular bar soaps can work very well on your body, try to avoid using them when washing your face. Bar soaps can irritate and dry out the sensitive skin there. Instead, use facial soaps that are meant for such use. This will leave your skin better moisturized and clearer.
One of the best things that you can do to kill the bacteria on the surface of your skin is to use a cleanser that is rich in benzyl peroxide. This ingredient is a powerful component in your battle against acne and if used cautiously can clean your skin while simultaneously preventing future breakouts.
