My sister told me that washing your face with soap and your had was better then washing it with soap and a wash cloth. Is this true?

I'm afraid your sister is wrong.

Washing your face with a washcloth is great way to exfoliate skin and get rid of excess oils, makeup, dirt and build-up. Just remember not to re-use a washcloth too many times.

Soap makes your skin dry, so I wouldn't recommend using soap.

Sorbolene cream is great especially if you are using anti-acne products.
Sorbolene can be used as an alternative to soap and it is a moisturizer for sensitive skin.
If you are using a wash cloth make sure it is washed WELL and has no detergents or dye in it, I wash my new ones about 5 times before using them so they don't irritate my skin.
