Body Wash VS.Soap

[Scott Hutchinson]

What's better to use Body Wash Or Bar Soap ?

[MawMaw]

Myself, I love the body wash soaps for, well, my body! LOL
But, I do use Dove facial bar for my face.

My husband also uses body wash AND bar soap.

We believe in cleanliness! LOL!!!

Oh my goodness! How are you able to use this on your face?!! The only bar of soap I have ever, in my entire life, been able to use on my face was one put out by Melaluca. Now I use Weleda Irish Lotion or Avalon facial cleaner. I also use Avalon's body wash. I never use bar soap. It is very drying to my skin. I'm always amazed when someone tells me they use a bar of soap on their face.

Dr. Bronner's Almond Castile Soap or sometimes a goats milk bar soap in a variety of *flavors*. Our grocery store carries big blocks of the goat's milk soaps that you can slice off and buy by the ounce. I also use homemade salt or sugar scrubs for exfoliating and extra moisturizing. I particularly love my most recent salt scrub - olive & almond oils, sea salt and a few drops of lavender essential oil. I use it on my hands a lot, too.

I have sensitive skin, so I use more expensive products for my face (and neck), but they last a really long time:

M.D. Forte Facial Cleanser, Level II
&
SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub and Equalizing Toner


+Oil of Olay Total Effects Fragrance-Free Moisturizer <---I've been a faithful user of this stuff for years. Before they had the Total Effects line, I used the Daily Moisturizer for sensitive skin (fragrance-free).

I make my own soaps and shampoo bars... I can not stand the plastic bottles that soap comes in... or water... or anything else. I try to buy everything in glass, paper or metal.

I haven't gotten up the nerve to try my hand at making bar soaps just yet. It seems so daunting....

Our grocery store recently started selling milk in glass bottles. The first time you buy the milk, it costs $5 or so/gallon, but when you return the bottles, you get a $2.25 deposit back. As long as you remember to exchange your bottles, the milk is no more expensive than the regular brands--and it's much better quality. It's from Memory Lane Dairy in Fordland, Missouri. I love it. They also sell some fun flavors that our kids enjoy trying out: Orange Dream (aka dreamsicle?), Root Beer Float, and Cotton Candy, as well as the more common strawberry and chocolate milk. We haven't tried the cotton candy flavor yet, but the kids love all the other flavors. They also sell cream top milk which is awesome, except the kids kept thinking it was spoiled.

I doubt I'll ever buy body scrubs again. The nice Alba scrub I used to buy runs about $12 for 3 oz. What I make myself is soooo much nicer and I can make large quantities of it for a lot less cost.

I have Young Living Lavender essential oil. I save it for burns. It takes the fire right out with one drop. Better than aloe vera.

I didn't know that. I have an Aloe Vera plant outside for burns. I'll have to try the Lavender oil next time. Anything for cuts. I'm always cutting myself with a knife. Just sliced my thumb, a little, taking apart Lego blocks. I'm building my grandson a pirate ship. lol

I like the body wash for bath myself.
