face wash

Complexion cleaning product

A face wash is a cleansing product formulated specifically for facial skin, typically gentler than body soap: I use a face wash with salicylic acid for my acne.

The term also refers to the act of washing one's face.

In hockey slang, a face wash is when a player shoves their glove into an opponent's face—annoying rather than injurious.
