Somebody I was talking to the other day said I looked like "a bath bomb type of woman" - I'm not! For me, it's a bar of soap and the scratchiest bath mitt known to mankind. I know harsh soaps are bad for the skin, but I just can't stand the sensation that most liquid soaps, shower gels and cream soaps leave - feels like it's not quite rinsed out. What do you use?
Just soap, sometimes with wheat husks, and it act just like your cloth.
I hate bars of soap I always think they leave a texture on your skin when dry but other than that I love most things shower gels, shower mousse, Shower jelly (from Lush) smells lovely bath bombs also from Lush are lovely. I love all sorts of smellies.....and so does apey!!! even though he says he doesn't
Original Source black mint hair/body. Loooooove the tingle! :P
Be careful what you put in your bath water:
Sanex shower gel and a good old fashioned flannel.
Anything in the bath usually leaves a residue on me and on the bath. And I HATE cleaning the bath. It gets a rinse after use but oils and such means a full-on Cillit Bang-type scrubbing session - every time! Yuk.
I tried washing my hair in nothing but water for 2 months - 2 weeks of greasy horribleness followed by 6 weeks of lovely clean bounciness. Hair can cope oerfectly well without soaps, in fact the oil glands oer-react to the too-clean effect. I can't remember why I went back to washing with detergent. I may go back to water.
In the shower, or in the bath? Going to work, or going to meet someone?
If in the shower going to work: whatever's the cheapest half decent shampoo in Morridogs the last few weeks. Start with more than's strictly necessary in the palm of me 'and, brisk rub all over the 'ead, transfer lather to armpits, rub again, transfer newly lathered up hand to pubes, ass crack, then rub briskly all over. Rinse off. Job done.

Sanex, whichever one, not fussed....I've used liquid soap for years. Any frequent wash shampoo, cos it's gonna be used anything from 4 to 10 times a week, but I wil use anything to wash my hair rather than not wash it....like even washing up liquid if I find myself without a shampoo.
The fresh juices of a virgin ...... back to reality.
Soap for everywhere, apart from my hair. Hair is washed with what ever bottle of stuff Kay has left closest to me when I go in the shower (note the effects can be odd if that bottle is labelled conditioner).
Nowt wrong wi' smelling o' chippy. T'whippets love it!
I rarely have baths. I get bored just sitting there in my own muck and I can't wash my hair in bath water so I end up having a shower afterwards anyway. :-?
I use exfoliating mitts every morning in the shower with whatever shower gel/cream is currently not making me itch, followed by gallons of moisturiser. I'm loving Garnier body lotion and Body Shop Shea body butter.
I wash my face before the shower with either T Zone or Nivea scrubs followed by Clarins pure melt cleansing gel to soothe and soften the skin, followed by Nivea Soft, followed by Nivea Q10.
I know it sounds like a right faff on and it is but I don't have much choice, my skin is too sensitive and dry. If I don't get my routine in order, I spend all day feeling uncomfortable. I'd prefer to just use ordinary soap but my skin won't tolerate it. The kindest stuff is aqueous cream but it doesn't smell too pretty.
Just a nice shower gel with moisturiser for me body parts, and that includes my head cos I wet shave that anyway.
now am i the only one that use water....lol
a flannel and shower gel! the feeling of sponges (both synthetic and natural) goes through me as does the feeling of a bath scrunchie thingymajig.
I do like to dry off with a very rough, almost cardboard stiff, line dried towel...soft and fluffy just doesnt do it for me!
something that smells like verbena or bergamot, either one....and aqueous cream, although like you hate the sensation that it leaves
Marya it is acidic and that is what kills the bacteria. The way I understand it it's about the opposite PH as soap (soap is an alkaline) But unlike soap is doesn't dry you out. I have used various types of vinegar and now I use clear pickling vinegar (it's the cheapest)
Mincepie I choose what to use now. I like the smell of the soap I use and it feels kinda luxurious...more than before. I use vinegar about 50% of the time. I occasionally had a bit of athletes foot but it cured that. If you have any issues then the vinegar feels warmer on that area. Vinegar definitely leaves my skin smoother and less dry.
