Breakout on my chin...how do I clear it up. Is using bar soap on a washcloth bad?

Ive just switched to a bar soap, followed up by a l'oreal product for guys that helps to moisturize oily skin. Will this help clear up my skin, most notably my chin and forehead (the most troubled spots). Also, is using a washcloth on the face bad? Thanks!
Answer:
If you're going to use a washcloth, be sure to get a clean one every time you wash your face. Don't even use it a second time in the same day. They can hold bacteria.

As for the soap, it depends on what kind of soap you're using. For example, deodorant soaps could make matters worse.
No,,washcloth is good.After you wash %26 dry your face before bed,,lightly baby powder.
Bar soap... a definate no no for the face. Bars of soap dry out your skin which causes your skin to produce more oil, which in turn, breaks out your skin worse. Get a foaming cleanser made specifically for the face and make sure it has salicylic acid in it. A washcloth is not bad as long as it is gentle and you are not trying to rub your skin raw. Hope this helps.
