Oh Tashi, Don’t get me going on how many Body Washes I have stashed in my shower. Without running to count, I believe there are at least 5.

I’m testing my heart out for reviews on Bionic Beauty!

Me? Both. Dial soap for sensitive areas, Suave body wash and poof otherwise. However, Cetaphil and small Ecotools flat circular sponge for my face and neck. Did I mention I have two types of body washes in the shower? I just never know which fragrance I’m in the mood for that morning.

I use body wash all the time. In fact, I can’t even remember the last time I used bar soap, unless forced at a hotel! I think it’s the fact that body washes come in so many yummy scents, which I’m a total sucker for.

I love to try new body washes, although I can’t resist buying hand made bar soaps. Recently, I discovered Burt’s Bees Fabulously Fresh Peppermint & Rosemary Body Wash…it should be called Fabulously RE-Freshing because that is exactly what it is. The scent and feel are wonderful.

As for the guest bath, I only keep body wash in there. The idea of people sharing bar soap is not pleasant.

i actually primarily use soaps now- i get natural and hand-made soaps, though, which tend to be less drying. swipe your bath pouf around the bar, and the lather is just like a body wash! i do have a few lush shower gels that i got in goody bags, so i use those on occasion, too, but i do find the natural soaps less drying because they don’t have SLS.

I like using both bar soap & body washes! I’ll always love Dove and Olay soaps, but love trying new body washes, too…. I especially love Softsoaps Pomegranate & Mandarin Body Wash, I’ve been using it for a while now, and love how it gently cleans my skin.

I love body wash and shower gel! I love the bath and body works shower gel. As well as the Softsoap nutraserums body wash! But then again, Caress evenly gorgeous body exfoliator is cool too. I got all three of my favorites for free! So I don’t usually buy soap, cuz I get them for free constantly.

I really don’t like bar soap though, the bar feels kinda rigid cuz it doesn’t bend for curves and everything, I feel it’s easier just to take some body wash and rub it on!

I prefer shower gel….but sometimes I like bars too but usually of the same variety. I adore Dr. Bronner’s castille soaps. They are so versatile and can be used to clean just about anything including your body, hair, clothes, dishes, and floor! Now that’s a soap! I also love the fact that they are fair trade and SLS free.

I always use shower gel or scrubs. I have never been a fan of bar soap. I always feel like I have a residue left on my body after I use bar soap. With gels and scrubs, I feel really clean and fresh. Maybe it is just me. I don’t know!!!

I do both too! There’s an organic farm near here that makes it’s own goats milk & vegetable oil soap. I love their Happy Camper (with citronella for camping) and cinnamon swirl soaps. It’s great for the stinkier areas. But I have oily skin, so I need to exfoliate every day, so I use a poof with body wash for all over (and to get soap residue off), with just about any of the Bath & Body Works lines.
