Bar on body, liquid on hair.

@SQUEEKY2 I’m just curious about people’s habits. If you don’t like the question, you are free not to answer.

Liquid. I used bar when I was younger. I switched in my 20’s.

Bar for body, liquid for shampoo. . . !

I use a bar of soap on my body, but I use a body wash for shaving my legs. I’m trying to figure out from other people answering on here if they’re just using liquid soap for shampoo, or if they mean that they’re using a shampoo to wash your hair. Because I’m not sure using liquid soap that is not shampoo is the best choice, but what do I know?

Bar soap. I hate liquid soap – especially at hotels.

Liquid shampoos of course.

Side note: I actually had bar shampoo for travel at one point.

Shampoo on hair. Vanicream bar soap twice daily on face; usually Dove bar in shower. Just started using Vanicream a few weeks ago. I hate liquid cleanser because I haven’t found one that doesn’t take forEVER to rinse off! Hated using bar soap on my face because of all the junk in it. Vanicream is free of dyes, fragrance, masking fragrance, lanolin, parabens and formaldehyde releasers. I know…simple question, complicated answer. At this late age I’m trying to take better care of my skin.

@smudges Maybe you have very soft water. That’s maybe why the soap feels difficult to wash off.

Bar soap/washcloth and body wash/scrubby. I use shampoo and condioner for hair.

I use Kirks or Dr. Bronners bar soap for everything.

Whatever comes to hand.

Almost always liquid.

@JLeslie I’m pretty sure it’s hard water – I know it leaves iron coloring in the tub under the faucet and there’s calcium in it also. I left a comment with the makers of one face wash (Paula’s Choice) about it being hard to rinse off and there were quite a few other compaints about it, too. I finally quit looking.

I’ll use both, but prefer liquid soap.

@smudges….hard water would have to do with your water supply, not your faucets.

smudges's avatar

^^ Yes, but the water comes out of the faucets, hence the stain…over time.

Check with your water provider. We had to install a water softener.

I’m in an apartment and doubt they would approve it. :(
