Identify your skin type (oily, dry, sensitive) to choose the right soap. For oily skin, look for a soap with charcoal or salicylic acid to control excess oil. Dry skin benefits from soaps with moisturizing agents like glycerin or shea butter. Sensitive skin needs mild, fragrance-free soaps to avoid irritation. Read labels for ingredients that suit your specific needs and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.
