This soap is described as a liquid soap for hands or body, and it fits best as a cleansing step for oily areas such as the back, chest, or hands. It is not marketed as a facial cleanser. Facial skin is often more sensitive than body skin, and tar-based cleansing can feel too active on it, especially if you already have dry or easily irritated skin. If you still want to try it on your face, limit it to the oilier zones such as the chin, nose, or forehead, lather briefly, rinse immediately, and follow with a moisturiser. A patch test on a small area of the jawline a day before is a reasonable way to check your tolerance.
Do not use it as a mask or leave it on the skin; it is meant to be washed off. For daily facial cleansing, a gentle cleanser without a high tar content is usually a safer choice, particularly if your skin reacts quickly to new products. If you use acids, retinoids, or prescription skincare, introduce this soap cautiously and observe how your skin responds; stop use if irritation appears.
Keep it away from the eyes and mucous membranes. If it gets into the eyes, rinse with plenty of clean water. If you have a diagnosed skin condition or are under dermatological care, ask your specialist before using a tar-based cleanser on the face.
