I don't use any soaps or washes - exfoliation with a cloth and water is how I clear off dead cells and then use an oil to moisturise. I tried 2 months(!) without letting water or anything else touch my face and apart from being a pain to do, there wasn't really much difference. Very little showed in the first week, but over time the dead skin mask looked disgusting and a simple touch would detach some of the dead skin. I think due to this my skin wasn't dry but it looks worse because of the thick layer of dead cells whereas now it's just a thin surface layer of dead/dry skin. For some it clears mild acne but didn't do anything for mine.
