How do you wash your toddlers face w/o then screaming?

My toddler is very independent. She shower with me watching her. Does good job on her body but not her face at all. She doesn't like soap or bubble as she calls them in near her mouth. This causes me to have to do it . I rinse towel off so there no bubbles . However she fights me and screams bloody murder every single time. Even cried for a while after.
