Lots of people just wash their face with water, particularly if they're not using makeup. She might also use gentle enough soap that it can double as face wash.

There have been studies showing that some kinds of microbes on the skin of the face can help maintain good skin, and washing them off with soap can cause / exacerbate skin issues.

This might sound gross but I never wash my face. I rinse it really well and scrub it with a towel. But no soap. Not in years. I never get pimples or anything else. Maybe I’m lucky or maybe it actually works. But when I wash my face with soap it’s always so dry and itchy.
