Your eyes are covered with a substance, secreted by the Meibomian glands, which prevent bacteria and fungus and such from growing or surviving on your eyes. [Yum!]

I propose making a liquid soap containing this substance, for putting on your face before going to sleep. This would keep your face clean and hygienic overnight.

Anti-bacterial soap is Widely Baked. What would be the specific advantages of this particular reagent over the other ones already out there?

Btw, I am intrigued that you need something to keep your face from getting dirty overnight. Exactly where do you sleep?!

Mmm, delicious. I have fairly oily skin, something like this would be perfect. It is natural, one of our body's own defenses, so it wouldn't be "removing chemicals that your body produces to shield itself," just applying more. Methinks the other two understand what you say, yet not!
