From the dreaded years in high school, to the independent college years, and into the professional years of adulthood, (well, only when we have to be professional), skincare is a constant.  The backbone to any skincare line is the face soap.  No matter how amazing your moisturizers and toners are, your face soap starts it all.  I mean, the soil has to be fertile in order for the seed to grow, right?

I have run the gamut with face soap, and the product I keep coming back to is Shiseido’s Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam from “The Skincare” line.  Shiseido mastered the refined feeling with the soap’s rich and sudsy texture accompanied with its wonderful smell bringing you through a holistic journey of cleansing revitalization.  And the clincher is it actually works!  It keeps my skin well balanced without blemishes.  What can be better?
After years of test-driving the newest soaps in the showroom, this is the one that proves its worth over and over again.  You can easily find this lovely soap at any Sephora, Nordstrom and many other department stores.
