Who uses soap bars today? I guess soap bars are not even used for washing these days. Its an old school though, today we just need our fruity or vanilla sugar body wash.

Nothing can rejuvenate more than a hot shower with your favourite body wash.

However if you want to make best use of your bathing time, follow some of these tips.

• Do not go without your wash cloths. Wash cloths will produce more lather and will act as ascrub. It will remove all the dead skin from your body.

• If you have a dry skin donot think of bar soaps. Look for a good moisturizing body wash that’s made up of lotion or has oil base.

• After your bath always moisturize your body and face.

• If you have very dry skin then look for body washes which are lather free. The moisture or oil will settle into your skin for a longer duration.

• Body wash is not a face wash. If you apply body wahs on your face it may clog pores.

• Men can still do away with body wash but for women its a must. Women’s skin is more sensitive than men.

• Less is always more in case of body wash. Too much of squeeze may leave greasiness.

• Always use luke warm water but you must pour a blast of cold water to close your pores.

• Bath washes are 100% more hygienic than the soap bars and you actually become cleaner in comparison to the soaps.
