Bar soap for your FACE is not good. Bar soaps clog your pores and dehydrate the skin because of their high alkaline amount. That means: a high pH. Normal skin's pH is about 5.5. So you do not want to use soap with a higher pH like bar soap which has a pH of 9 to 10. That's very drying on the skin. The tight feeling you feel after washing with soap does not mean that your face is cleaner than when you use other cleansers. Just because your face is "squeaky-clean", does not mean you are better off. Bar soap actually causes irritation and increases the development of bacteria. Research has been done SHOWING that if you use a bar soap with a high pH, you are increasing the presence of bacteria and you may clog your pores. The ingredients that maintain the bar soap in its appearance are what clog the pores.
