What kind of bath soaps do you use.Conventional, Liquid or Herbal.

Yes Yardley Lavender is very good. It is a pity we do not get it in India, and the soaps which we get from the grey market is usually a counterfiet, made in China.I have also used the loofa, when I used the liquid soaps.Some how, we do not like the body lotion. Yes Home made soaps are the best.

Yes, I remember the old times, i.e. nearly 45 to 47 years back, when some of our relatives used to make soap in their houses.The problem was they used a lot of caustic soda in those soaps, and instead of a bath soap, it usually used to be like a washing soap. Getting the correct herbs and making a paste of it, and mixing with the ingredients of the soap is not quite easy.You must be quite experienced to do this.There are some self help groups in our town who usually make the soaps as well as condiments in their houses.

If you could only get the ingredients you could probably make your own soaps.

Dont you feel, that the body wash is quite expensive.Here, the herbal soaps are economical when compared with the liquid soaps.

I dont' think they are any more expensive than bar soap. The herbal this and that is always what is more expensive. I watch for sales and use coupons and get the body washes very reasonable. Olay is my favorite and I get them very reasonably

I was referring to Medimix, only when I started this discussion. It is one of the bes herbal soaps available in India.The only problem is, it dissolves very quickly, and you are forced to use more number of bar soaps, in a month. There is one more ayurvedic soap which I have used, which is called a 'Chandrika', this is also quite a good herbal soap.

Bellis 716, you are from USA, and I certainly hope that there will be herbal soaps available if you search for it. I came to know that there are a lot of Indian shops are there in USA, and in almost every town you can find one. You will be certainly able to buy a herbal soap, and even if it is not available, the shop keeper will be able to procure it for you.Try the herbal soaps, it quite good for the skin.

Never use a liquid soap to clean your hands, always use a hand wash.Now days these hand washes are available in bars as well as in liquid form, and in some liquid forms you need not even use water, you just put the liquid on the hand and rub it, presto they are clean.

Try the herbal soaps, it is good for the health. It keeps the skin smooth, and silky.

Good for you. You can also ask your doctor, whether you can get those kind of soaps in your country itself.

Since you have dry skin, you can try to use the herbal soaps. By herbal soaps I mean pure herbal soaps, and not the ones which use chemicals with the herbs. You can try some of the Indian shops in your town, where you will be able to get the herbal soaps at a very cheap price.

The name Irish spring itself sounds nice. Yes I have heard about tea tree oil, I am yet to use it. Can you explain what do you mean by bath wash, I am not able to understand that term.

You are quite right, one has to change the soaps in winter. Unfortunately there is no such thing as winter, in the place I live. It is only hot, hotter and hottest. During the hottest, we take a bath atleast twice a day, in cold water.

Dove is quite good, and my daughter was a regular user of the bar soap.Of course all our children use the bar soaps of J&J. We do not use liquid soaps for the children. I have not heard of Hene de pravia.Frankly there is not much of choice of soaps for the males. Since in India, one bar of soap is used by all the adults.Very rarely only people use seperate soaps for bathing. Since you are having sensitive skin, you should certainly try the herbal soaps. My wife had also sensitive skin, and she only started using the Herbal soaps, and now all of us are using the same soap.

Yes do try the herbal ones. They might be a little expensive when compared to the normal bar soaps, but certainly worth it.This does not cause any skin problems, and keep you fresh and refreashing.
