Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1

Decide how much you are planning to spend. The price of facial soaps can vary by hundreds of dollars from the budget discount ranges to high-end designer brands. Your budget will also determine which stores and websites to look at, as some are a great deal more expensive than others.

Step2

Choose a soap that is designed for your skin type and needs. Medicated, anti aging or especially for oily skin, there are different products available for every skin type. If you are not sure what type of skin you have, read the product description or ask a specialist to give you a test.

Step3

Seek advice from qualified skin experts. In many large stores there are trained assistants that can make recommendations for your facial soap or entire skin care routine. You will then be able to find an exact match for your personal needs.

Step4

Look at products reviews and recommendations before you buy (see Resources). This will let you know which products to avoid and which are the most highly rated for certain skin types or problem areas.

Step5

Find the best deal by comparing different prices. Check that the product is the same and that the weight or quantity matches. Ask about multi product discounts, which many cosmetic stores offer and take advantage of seasonal sales and promotions.

Tips & Warnings

Match the brand of the soap with other products in your existing skin care range.
Cosmetic counters may give you small samples to try before buying.
Avoid perfumed or colored products if you have sensitive or easily irritated skin.
Before using, check that the soap doesn't have any ingredients that you are allergic to.
Never use a regular body soap on your face as this can dry out skin and cause irritation or rashes.
