Do you prefer Body wash or a bar of Soap?

I use bar soap for my face but body wash for my body. Both are Dove soap. I've used a few different soaps in my lifetime and for a long time my skin was so sensitive that I could only use Ivory soap, but that left my skin dry. Once I tried Dove and it didn't give me hives (which all soap except Ivory did for a long time), I kept using it. It really does help with dry skin! I have enough physical problems right now and don't need dry skin on top of them all! I love my Dove! I use Dove everything, soap, shampoo, conditioner and deodorant.

Dear friend, I would mostly use body wash, I would like have a good shower too.

I agree, the bar soap drys my skin too. I love the body washes. We usually have about 3 or 4 hanging around the shower at one time. I still keep a bar of soap in the shower too because my husband likes it better than the body wash.

I used to utilize body soap before but after using body wash, i've realized that it's way better than a bar of soap.. why? i feel like body wash can remove all the dirt in my body..

I prefer using soap because I tend to stay longer in the bathroom when I use a body wash. Besides I am sometimes lazy of using a sponge or bath scrub which is needed when you are using a body wash. I prefer using soap because I can immediately scrub it with my body and then I can wash it easier compared with body wash that sometimes seems like a shampoo. The soap that I am using has a Shea Butter so it does not make my skin dry. I love the smell and the texture of that. Anyway we should use what we are comfortable with be it a soap or a body wash.

I use body wash. I have sensitive skin and using bar soap for awhile make it itchy and start getting rash. So I have to settle with body wash.

Well body wash is like luxury for me because it is so expensive. It smells nice, is easy to use and lathers up well. On the other hand, it's hard to find a body wash that isn't tested on animals and doesn't contain too many nasty chemicals, which are things I look for when purchasing soap. I prefer bar soap because it lasts longer and there are a few brands that are all natural and don't contain animal products. I always find that I get body wash for christmas as it's a popular gift-it's easy, not too expensive and usually comes in a gift pack with a loofah and maybe some moisturiser so I do use body wash but generally only around the months of December/January!

I prefer to use body wash when I take a shower.

Here we haven't used the soap to take a bath for a long time. We prefer to use body wash because it seems your skin won't be so dry after that. Besides, it has a better smell. I just use the soap to wash hands. I love China

Once again...so nice to hear from you..have wondered and truly hoping all is falling into place in your life...and it is beautiful! I would almost BET, that it isn't the fact; Body wash versus Bar Soap...I would be more inclined to believe that it is the ingredients & quality! There is an amazing amount of bar soaps out there...lots just cheap! There is quality bar soap out there, you spend a bit more on...like you do Body Wash, and you will have good results! I use Yves Rocher, as they are all Natural! Cheers!

I have naturally oily skin so I tend to prefer a bar of soap to body wash. Body wash makes me really slippery feeling and also I just don't feel as clean after taking a shower with body wash than I do with soap. I prefer to use either Dove or Oil of Olay soap as they do not dry my skin out. Other brands sometimes leave me feeling slightly dry. Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

I normally used body wash or even just some shampoo, but last week I bought some bar soap cause I was being cheap. My skin is really dry and so is my kids skin. Maybe I should switch back.

I have used Zest bar soap since 1972. I've tried body washes because I like the way you only need a little on a bath puff and you can wash your whole body. I also like the idea of soft skin. But I don't use body wash because it makes my skin feel as if I'm covered in plastic. I don't feel clean, my skin is soft but the pores must be clogged up because I get horribly hot even in the winter. I can't use body wash--and it stinks! There is no unscented body wash. Zest has a scent but it's fresh, not perfumy.

i prefer body wash to soap..most dermatologists that i've asked about this say that a liquid soap is better because it has a lesser "drying effect" on the skin..and the fresh scent stays even longer on the skin...it's just that it's a bit more expensive than a bathsoap..but for a beautiful skon we have to spend a bit morw.

I agree that bar soaps tend to make my skin dry too but i can't stand the greasy feeling body wash is giving me. It's pretty hard to rinse too! I think bar soaps last longer than body wash at least for me. Bar soaps are cheaper too i think!

I cannot use bar soap. It dries out my skin really bad. I have been using body wash for most of my adult life, and it is rare to even find bar soap in my house at all.

I prefer bar soap, but I use one that has moisterizers in it. I guess I have combination skin because it's dry in some spots but not others. Body was made the areas that weren't dry too oily, but it did help the dry areas. With the bar soap, I used moisterizers in the dry spots and it works for me. I did a blind product trial on hand cream recently, for two creams that aren't available on the market yet (I think they were the same in scented and unscented versions). They were the best that I'd ever used. After finishing the two week trial, I tried to find out what they were, but was not able to. I still have some of the scented one, so when I go shopping I put some on, so that I can compare the scent to whats at the store. Hopefully, sooner or later I'll figure out what they are from the scent.

i like body wash but it is a little bit expensive than bar of soap. so far, i am sticking to my budget,hahaha.. yes, body wash smells better and makes your skin so soft.

Hello, MyLotters! :) I prefer body wash way over bar soap. Bar soap leaves me feeling all sticky and dry after I bathed, and I hated that with a passion.

body wash makes my skin moisturized and feel better after shower
