Title: What Is Your Favorite Brand of Soap?
Post by: King Malachite on May 17, 2012, 01:28:57 AM
I will use any kind but I personally like Zest.  It smells really good.

Yardley (http://www.zuckermanpharmacy.com/images/products/big/023566.jpg).  I love the English Lavender though the honey one is also a favorite. :3

I searched for the honey version of Yardly and I must say that this is my first time I've heard of using pure honey extract in soap.  Does it feel kind of like honey on your skin?

It depends.

In the bath I like antibacterial Dial.

If I have oily or greasy hands from auto repairs or yard work, I like Lava.  But for grease-cutting, the best product is GoJo.

That's what I use too, tried others, but always go back.

I just know that it makes my skin very soft and it smells so good.  I wish my Dollar Store carried it again.  The first time I used Yardley I was like "it's like being bathed in rainbows". xD  It just feels really good.

I bought this soap by "Brut" yesterday. It definitely isn't my favorite brand of soap as I've always preferred getting more kitschy and custom soaps from Etsy, but it still smells pretty good.

I've been using Yardley, Oatmeal & Almond for couple years now. When I first saw it at a CVS store, it looked very delicious because of the Oatmeal & Almond.

I swear by the Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar- a bit pricey but worth it. Keeps my skin very soft.

I tried attaching a pic of my Yardley soap & my lovebird, Smuffy, but it didn't go through. Here is my second attempt.

Upload it to a remote hosting site, hon. Then link to it from there.

Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com) is the one I personally use, but a google search for image hosting will bring up lots.

Thanks Sephirah!

This is Smuffy next to my Yardley (Oatmeal & Almond) soap. "People ask why Smuffy my lovebird is sweet?" I tell them because there is caramel in his belly!

Thanks JasonRX!

I love all birds, especially parrots & animals. I had smuffy for over 11 years & his wife past away about 2 years ago. We really miss her! I noticed this tumor growing above his left eye. I'm kind of worried. I brought him to the vet & they told me if the tumor gets bigger than to come back. I paid like $100 just for a half an hour visit.

what is this "soap" you speak of

seriously though I never know which one to get and then I end up just getting a really big package that lasts me for 4-6 months so I never really develop a habit.

Shannon makes soap (and candles) as a fundraiser for the JDRF walk, so we always have plenty of her stuff here.

l'Occitane Extra Gentle Soap

It actually did make my skin feel softer pre HRT. =)
In general I really love their soaps - their hand soap smells soooo nice...  but too pricey to keep using all the time. T_T

I use to use Johnsons body care moisturising cream wash as normal soap bars dried my skin out but a friend told me to try Dove triple moisturising body wash and that's my favourite now and it isn't as soapy as the Johnsons...

Cheers Tracy

I do not use soap. Hand gel and shower gel. Soap always leaves a scum in bath or shower. With gel showers and baths are easy to keep clean

After starting T I got a bottle of salicylic acid body wash, but when it runs out I'll probably go back to washing myself with tar shampoo or maybe purchase something from St Ives.
