Bar soap or shower gel?

I prefer shower gel but I have to be careful which kinds I use. I use to love Bath & Body works but I can not use some of the scents.

We both use shower gel at the moment. I was a die hard bar user, mainly Oil of Olay (sensitive skin), but have found shower gel to be working well for me.

I like shower gel because the scent is stronger, and stays round for longer, but it just doesn't last all that long, so I use bar soap.

Shower gel. I have NOT found a bar soap that doesn't make my skin feel like it shrank 2 sizes...

I have found only one bar soap that doesn't make my skin feel like it's going to strangle me. I mostly stick to bath gel.

Bar soap hands down. Gel is full of silicones and things I can't pronounce (you know, more than usual) and usually leaves my skin itchy and dry.
If I want to smell especially nice, I'll reach for a nice clear glycerin bar and if I just want to moisturize, a cold process (that's the solid kind) bar lightly scented with lavender is just dandy.

It all depends on what's in the shower at the time haha

I've been using liquid soap for a long time and just recently started using bar soap as I am house sitting. Bar soap isn't too bad if it smells good.

I like bar soap. It makes me feel cleaner than shower gel.

I use only Lush bar soap, but my husband will use anything.

Boyfriend uses bar soap, I don't really care either way. I like whatever's on sale and smells nicest, basically.

Goat milk bar soap is amazing though. But so expensive!

I've got really sensitive skin and bar soap dries my skin out something awful so I just use gel. My hubby uses both.

Bar soap. I use Bee and Flower Sandalwood soap and my man can use it too with out smelling girly. It's really moisturizing too. Just clean and good. It works well for my sensitive skin but I have to order it online otherwise it's about $4.00 a bar if I by it from my natural market

I like shower gel! Nothing really makes me break out...I need the exfoliating beads for body-acne. (Not severe or anything, it's just a minor amount here an there.)
