bar of soap or shower gel

I prefer shower gels because I find that soap leaves my skin itchy and I feel like it is very hard getting the soap residue off my body. Is it difficult to make your own soap? I have never tried soap that was home made but I bet it is better for your skin than the soap we find in the stores.

OldBuddy made me respond to this. But I rather use shower gel. WHY? As oldbuddy said he usesbar soap since he was young so it's something he is use to, but when I use bar soap I feel gross. It sits in the shower and collects bacteria just the same as those loffa things do. I rather use a bottled shower gel where the bacteria is kept out and the bottle stays clean and fresh. Wouldn't you?

i prefer bottle of shower gel.

i couldnt imagine ever using bar soap on my skin again but ive never used homemade soap so mayby its different but i find bar soap so drying to my skin and the body wash i use from the body shop just doesnt leave my skin dry like bar soap used to so i cant imagine ever using it again. Dry skin really bugs me and with todays options for body washes its easier to avoid it

While I grew up using a bar of soap to get clean, I now find that I prefer shower gels. My personal opinion is that shower gels tend to rinse off more completely. I think bar soap tends to be more difficult to rinse off completely. Does anyone else have any comments?

i like shower gel better as i think it cleans ur body better

I prefer good old fashioned soap to shower gels. With shower gels, they don't last as long and they feel like I am washing my body with detergent.
