I wouldn't. If you honestly don't have any facial washes, use your shampoo. I found it works great!(:

No just in case you have a reaction to it you never know so it's always best not to:)

I think it would work fine. Shampoo is actually really bad for the skin depending on what you have. I can't come up with it off the the top of my head right now that exactly makes it bad. But it does have a chemical. It cause my whole back for a while to me covers in acne then I started shampooing my hair first then taking soap and washing my back. The acne is basically gone now. I get a few here and there
Some shampoos might work but I do not recommend it.
I actually just used regular bar soap. If you can't use something on the skin of your face, then why use it on the rest of your skin. That's how I feel anyway.
You can pick what you want to do ^_^

I do allll the time. If it's antibacterial it works even better on prevented germs. Depends on your skin type of course.

If you ban find an African black soap it's amazing for problem skin I think Shea moister has one

You can but its not ideal, just be careful around your eyes especially because they are super sensitive and soap in your eye stings!

Personally, I would not do it, as it's not designed for the face, also you may have a reaction to it,

I used to always wash my face with hand soap... lol & it honestly did more justice for my face then face wash.

I think it damages your skin but I'm not wuitebsure.

Its definitely not as gentle and can be very drying to our face. I wouldn't recommend it. Ingredients that our hands and even body can tolerate may not necessarily work well on the face as the skin is a lot more sensitive.

I tried it once with antibacterial hand soap and after I washed it off the skin on my face got red and started burning, so I definitely wouldn't recommend it. a regular soap bar works alright though.
