I've been trying to change my routine a bit - was dove on a pouf, and poof I was done! I recently saw something at TJ's and bought the bar soap - has oatmeal and few other things. Nice. Wondering what other people use and like. And what do you use to scrub - sponge? pouf? what brand?
Thanks!

Are we talking shower? If so I use various soaps from chagrin valley soap...that's it!

Zum Soap bar soap, no pouf. I alternate between tangerine orange (http://store.soaphope.com/Indigo-Wild-Tangerine-Orange-Zum-Soap-Bar-p/igw0009.htm) and almond (http://store.soaphope.com/Indigo-Wild-Almond-Zum-Soap-Bar-p/igw0012.htm).

In my morning shower, I wash my entire body and face with Dove sensitive skin.
No washcloth or poof.

I do not wash my face at night. Or brush my teeth. I'm dirty like that.

Dove sensitive bar soap, with a washcloth. It drives me crazy not to use one. I don't feel clean without that scrubby feeling!

Costco Kirkland brand paraben-free/sulfate-free citrus body wash with a pouf. Just found it a few weeks ago and love it.

On the days I shave my legs in the shower (typically every other day) I use Dove bar soap and a pouf. For alternate days I have a variety of bath gels from Bath and Body, Body Shop, Victoria's Secret and other brands that I rotate through.

Bar soap with a pouf. The green tea bar soap from TJs is very nice. The Pre de Provence soaps are wonderful (but can get expensive). The larger size is heavy like a brick (always careful not to drop it in the shower...ouch!):

l'occitane bonne-mere-soap (http://usa.loccitane.com/FO/bonne-mere-soap-honeysuckle.htm?cm_vc=ProdCustLike). It's expensive but DH filled my stocking with it last year and MIL added to the stash for my birthday.

I started using the Aveeno Oatmeal packets- the bath packets- in the shower a few months ago. My skin is so incredibly soft now and my dry, itchy, eczema prone skin has been so calm. I had used it in the bath when I was having a flare, but just didn't have the time to always take baths, so I decided to try it in the shower.

I buy the CVS brand. I can usually get about four showers out of one packet. I buy two boxes at a time which lasts me at least a month. I just put some in my hand and make a paste out of it. I rub it all over and then rinse it off. I even use it as my shaving "cream" now.

The best part is it scores a ZERO on the Skin Deep site- woo hoo!

Dial bar soap (which is DH's) or St. Ives citrus body wash because it is inexpensive. I don't use a pouf or anything because it is another thing to wash/replace.

Cetaphil and clarisonic

What in the heck is a pouf? I googled it and am still confused.

Cetaphil and clarisonic



Oh yeah, I use this, too. Cetaphil in the morning and cetaphil/clarisonic at night (just on my face). The cetaphil cancels out my zero rating for my oatmeal stuff!

I've never heard of this, will check it out. Is it reasonably priced.
I just use whatever bodywash is onsale. DH uses dove bar soap (he has eczema). I usually use my hands, but moved to a pouf b/c I use less soap and recently heard that they don't harbor bacteria (supposedly).

Same. I use whatever bar we have, no washcloth, poof or whatnot. The poofs skeeve me out. I will use a washcloth to get my back if J is not around to get my back for me. Usually though, no need for anything besides the bar of soap.

Just a bar of Dove soap for my body....no poof or washclothes. On my face, whatever facewash I happen to have picked up, with my Clarisonic.

I use La Mer facewash..just switched to it after years of using something else. I really like it, its $$ but that bottle will last me forever.
I am strangely picky about my face wash and need for it to take off my mascara completely and immediately off. I dont have time and patience to deal with an eye makeup remover. I also don't like it when a face wash is at all foaming. And it cannot sting my eyes.

I tried the clarisonic brush and for me personally it was awful. Felt like I was massaging dirt and makeup into my pores. I have a shiseido brush, just a simple one, not battery operated that Ill use sometimes but only if I have a nice natural product on my face, not to wash off makeup but more for exfoliating purposes.

Another Dove Bar Soap girl here. No poof, no washcloth.

I used to use various smell-good body washes, etc. Then I was having surgery and my surgeon recommended I shower with either Dove or Dial bar soap for the week before my surgery. I was surprised how much I loved the plain, Dove soap & haven't looked back since! :)

dial or safegaurd bar, no pouf, washcloth or other accessories! I do use a facial wash occasionally-I think clean n clear for those times when I have some break outs going on

Neat! I may have to give this a try. How about just using powdered oatmeal??

Right now I am addicted to Lush products - anything with a little bit of scrub in it.

I use a pouf and whatever shower gel/body wash I have. I am a couponer, so I have a big stash of various brands that I got for next to nothing or free.

I use Mary Kay Timewise for my face--just put some cleanser on my fingers and scrub away!

I use Lush when I've got it, Dove unscented/sensitive when I don't.

I like the "Sexy Peel" soap from Lush.

I'll rotate between just my hands and a pouf. Honestly, I'd like to do something more exfoliating because my upper arms are a bit scaly.

Dr. Bronner's on a puff for my body.

For my face I'm trying out the Oil method.

This made me laugh. I'm the same way. It makes my DH crazy. Oh well! Thanks for confirming I'm not the only dirty one out there! :)

Oh, um...some sort of bar soap...Lever 2000 maybe, and a wash cloth for my body. Aveeno foaming cleanser and wash cloth for my face.
