Natural Face Soap for Oily Skin, Blemishes and a Brighter Glow

Looking for a soap for oily skin that won't leave your face tight the minute you reach for the towel? Plenty of us still like a bar by the bathroom sink. It's quick, and there's no bottle to knock over at 7 am. The trick is a face bar, used gently. We make two handmade face bars. Our Neem Soap pairs neem seed oil with tea tree, sweet orange and lemongrass, and it's the one we'd hand you if you're shiny by lunchtime. Our Turmeric & Clove Scrub Soap mixes turmeric root powder and clove oil with fine walnut shell, so the lather leaves a gentle polish. Both bars contain glycerin. If you'd rather wash from a pump, our natural face wash range covers the same skin types.

Which Face Soap Is Right for You?

Your skin	Our pick	Why it suits you
Shiny by lunchtime, with the odd spot	Neem Soap - Glycerin Handmade	Our everyday soap for blemishes and oily patches. Neem seed oil and tea tree leave your face feeling clean and fresh, and glycerin keeps it comfortable.
Looks dull and feels a little rough	Turmeric & Clove Scrub Soap	Turmeric root powder, clove, peppermint and rosemary oils and aloe vera, with walnut shell powder for a gentle polish. Contains walnut (a tree nut).
Dry, tight or easily upset	Hydrating Gentle Face Wash	We'd reach for our soft gel wash with sandalwood and jojoba. Find it in our skincare for dry skin and sensitive skin.

Why Choose Our Handmade Face Bars

Made by hand. We hand-make each bar and list every ingredient on its product page.
Glycerin in both. Glycerin draws water to the skin, so your face feels comfortable after washing. Our scrub bar has a palm soap base; our Neem bar blends glycerin with a coconut-derived soap and mild cleansers.
Scented with essential oils. Tea tree and lemongrass give our Neem bar its fresh smell, while clove and peppermint warm up the scrub bar. Essential oils don't suit everyone, so try a little lather on your inner arm first.
An **Ayurvedic soap for skin**, made for everyone. Neem and turmeric are two of Ayurveda's best-loved herbs for the face. Like everything we make, both bars are vegan, cruelty-free and PETA-certified.

Your Face Soap Routine, Step by Step

Both bars follow the same steps, and how you wash counts as much as which bar you choose.

Step	How often	How
1. Wet your face and the bar	Daily	Use lukewarm water.
2. Lather in your hands	Daily	Work up a lather between your palms, then massage it over your face in small circles. Use the scrub bar gently and let the lather do the work.
3. Rinse and pat dry	Daily	Rinse well and pat your face dry with a clean towel.
4. Moisturise	After every wash	Smooth on one of our face moisturisers while your skin is still a little damp.
5. Let the bar dry	After every use	Keep it on a draining soap dish so it stays firm between washes.

What Helps When Soap Leaves Your Face Tight?

Most of the time it's the water temperature or what happens straight after. A few easy habits help.

Lather first. Rubbing a bar straight across your face is harsher than you'd think, so build the lather in your hands.
Keep it lukewarm. Hot water feels lovely on a cold morning but leaves skin feeling stripped. Moisturise while your face is still damp.
One scrub is plenty. If you already use a face scrub, wash with our Neem bar on scrub days. Save the scrub bar for skin that isn't broken or sunburnt.

Both bars work in the shower too, but for a bathing bar, try our natural soap for your body, and if you get breakouts on your back or chest, our body care range can help.

FAQ

What are turmeric soap benefits for the face?

Turmeric has been part of Ayurvedic skincare for centuries, loved for a brighter-looking complexion. In our scrub bar, it comes with glycerin, aloe vera, and fine walnut shell, leaving your skin smoother and fresher after washing. For marks that linger after a spot, our range for dark spots has more to offer.

What are neem soap benefits?

Ayurveda turns to neem when skin gets oily and spotty. Our Neem bar uses neem seed oil and tea tree to leave your face clean and fresh without that squeaky, stripped feeling, and it's gentle enough for everyday use. If shine is your main concern, check out our skincare for oily skin, too.

What's the best natural soap for your face?

The one that suits your skin and leaves it comfortable. If you're oily or get the odd spot, start with our Neem bar. If your skin looks dull and feels rough, try the turmeric scrub bar. Dry or sensitive? For dry or sensitive skin, we'd pick our Hydrating Gentle Face Wash, a soft gel.

Is a soap for oily skin too drying?

Not if it's gentle and you use it well. Our Neem bar contains glycerin, and washing morning and evening with lukewarm water, then applying a light moisturiser, keeps oily skin comfortable. Washing more often than that tends to leave your face tight.

Can a soap for blemishes get rid of spots?

No soap can promise that, but a gentle daily wash is a really good start. Our Neem bar helps blemish-prone skin feel clean and look calmer, and keeping your hands off spots helps too. For more ideas, our range for occasional blemishes is worth a look. Our bars are cosmetic, so if spots are painful, deep or leaving scars, have a chat with your GP or pharmacist.

Can I use the Turmeric & Clove bar if I have a nut allergy?

We'd advise against it. Its scrub particles are walnut shell powder, which comes from a nut. Our Neem bar has no walnut, though it does contain a coconut-derived soap, so check its ingredient list if coconut doesn't agree with you.
