Is it permitted on Shabbat to wash the face with facial soap?

AA

Question

Hello, 

I wanted to know whether on Shabbat it is permitted to wash the face with facial soap, and whether it is permitted to put ointment on the face on Shabbat without spreading it. 

Thank you.

Answer

Hello and blessings,

It is permitted only with liquid soap and not solid soap.

Ointment on the face without spreading it? For what purpose?

With blessings,

Binyamin Shmueli
