I enjoy the easy lather of a gel and that's what I have right now but I'm usually a Body Shop Glycerin soap gal since that what seems to irritate my skin the least.

In high school I used The Body Shop's glycerin soaps all the time! I used to love going there every weekend and buying another one! I think at one point my bathroom had 8 or 9 in there :)


They also always have them on sale. I think it's 5 for $12 or something. I only started using them bc in elementary school, ppl always gave them to me as gift and my friends and I used to collect them but never use them so finally it got to a point where I had 20+ and I just thought why buy soap when I could use my stash?

I always loved the grapefruit soap and reading about the age reduction makes me think I should stock up on a few!

I usually feel like bar soap leaves my skin feeling tight and like it has a weird film on it, so I generally reach for the shower gel. I'm kind of obsessive about product, so I probably own upwards of fifty shower gels. Some of my favorites are L'Occitane honey foaming jelly, Ojon Tawaka (which you can also use as face wash or shampoo), and Korres basil lemon. And The Body Shop pink grapefruit does smell fantastically refreshing too!

I started using only liquid soap when I found out it doesn't leave soap scum in your shower/bath. I never considered the difference in what it might do to your skin. My manly-man husband also uses liquid soap now and we never have soap scum....definitely worth the effort.

I'm not a real big fan of the bar soap, it leaves my skin feeling "icky". So, with that being said, I reach for the shower gel. I love to experiment with all the diffrent brands.

Shower gel!! I'm currently using C.O. Bigelow Mentha Vitamin Body Wash. It's so refreshing and leaves your skin cool & tingly. It's great during the summer or after a workout.
I always have Johnson's & Johnson's Baby Wash in my shower - it's super gentle and doesn't strip my skin of it's moisture. That's my everyday wash.
When I need more moisture, during the cool months I reach for the Dove Cream Oil body wash.

I'm a shower gel gal too--I always pick up a lot at the Bath and Body Works sales. I found a small bottle of the 'fresh vanilla' scent, too bad they don't have full size anymore. I also want to try that Dove energize body wash

I like using shower gel. It foams up alot nicer and it doesn't leave a film that I experience with many soaps,aand having it in fun bottles is a treat!
My favorite product to lather up with is Boots bath cream. All of the scents are positively yummy and you get alot of product because the bottles are so big (due to the fact that it's bath foam, and since it is that, the lather is very luxurious!)
