Face burning to everything

So, I'm a 19 year old female. I have never really had a problem with acne, but that never stopped me from washing my face everyday. Until about 3 years ago, I had just used regular bar soap in the shower but learned that it was bad for you so I switched to face washes. But, almost every single face wash, face scrub, or face mask I have used, has been a complete disaster. I start washing it, then it starts to burn, like it feels like someone just set my face on fire, so then I was it off and my intire face is covered in blotchy redness that is also puffy! It doesn't go away until about a good day or two. It's getting so frustrating to the point where I'm about to just quit washing my face. I don't wear makeup because I hate the feel of it and I don't use any moisterisers. I cannot find a product that does not burn my face like that. Please, if you have any information or know how to stop this, that would be freaking great because it sucks. Honeslty it's tiring and annoying

Sounds like you have some really sensitive skin.  I'd say for your skin, it wouldn't hurt to go back to the bar of soap if that never did irritate you.  I also know that the Rodan Fields line has a product called "soothe" (I think) that is supposed to be good for sensitive skin.  It's a direct marketing company so you can't get it in stores, but if you google it, I'm sure you will find the web site and can get some pretty easily.
