Is water bad for dry skin

[luc9999]

is using a plain/neutral ph soap going to make dry skin any better or worse? or should I just use cleansing wipes and not wash my face with water at all ???

I've heard that soap is ok, when you don't have any problems with your skin.
If your skin is sensitive you shouldn't use normal soap. It's better to use shower gels or glycerine soaps.

Water- long bathing It's not healthy..

No, a neutral pH soap is not going to make your dry skin 'worse'. Cleansing wipes do work (Olay), but you have to activate them with water anyway, and it's better to rinse your face off with water afterwards.

If you have dry skin, it's better to use a cleanser and toner that is pH balanced for dry skin.

Unless you have EXTREMELY dry skin (i.e., the sort of condition you should be seeing a dermatologist about) a daily washing with a mild soap is not going to hurt anything. Do be sure to moisturize afterwards.
