Can you use glycerin-based soap on your face?
I just bought one olive soap from The Body Shop which they told me was glycerin-based, and I wanted to know if I could use it on my face, and if it would help with any acne problems? The only thing is that it’s a scented soap, because they didn’t have any fragrance-free types.
Don’t put wal-mart or dollar store product on your face. You are asking for trouble.
Vegetable glycerin is fine for your face however I worked at the Body Shop for seven years. Who ever sold you that doesn’t know what she’s doing. You should get a face wash from either the tea tree line if you have acne or the aloe line if you’re sensitive. If you still want a bar soap, the tea tree line has one. You should never wash your face with something made for your body unless it’s specially formulated.
