There are a whole lot of differences between these two skincare products. Before figuring out why the bar soap is better, let us understand how they are different and similar. 

BODY WASH : Choosing the Right Body Wash: A Guide for Healthy Skin

The body wash is best recommended for dry skin, flaky skin, and people with clogged pores. Body wash gets rid of the dirt on the skin. The ingredients on it are most times specific, which means it is reserved for treating a skin condition or a particular skin type. Body wash helps you maintain body moisture on the surface. Once you have the shower running over the body wash, everything goes directly into the drain. It is advisable to use a body wash after a bar soap. The main work of a body wash is to seal in moisture. The body wash contains exfoliating ingredients. The ingredients are also found in bar soaps, but since the body wash is liquid, it works as a better exfoliant. How you use your body wash matters. It requires using a sponge to get the ingredients into the skin or locked in. body washes contain microbeads that are harmful to the environment. 

BAR SOAP (body and face) : Natural, Eco-Friendly, and Skin-Friendly

Bar soaps are nature’s gift from “man to man.” Bar soaps can contain a lot of natural ingredients in one bar. Body washes contain ingredients, but some of them are either harmful to the skin or the eco-system. The fragrance in bar soaps is harmless to the body, and almost all the time, it is natural.

The drying out is the fear most people have with bar soaps. No one wants to make harmful products. Many reviews have been done over the years, and there are fewer drying out bar soaps. This means that you can use your bar for both the body and face with less fear or worry.

A block of bar soap can last as long as two o three weeks, depending on the size and product. Bar soaps are family-friendly, especially when you have kids. Store your bar soap in a dry and well-ventilated area and make sure it is not sitting in water. Here’s a fun tip, by cutting your bar soap into half or smaller lasts longer.
