Original poster: We use a wash cloth or a bath scrubby thing that is a sea sponge (I think that is what it is called).
Women especially use cleansers meant specifically for their face based on skin type (oily, dry, sensitive, etc.). Body soap is definitely not the same as a facial cleanser.

Do you use body soap to wash your hair? 'nuff said.

Yes, I use a washcloth, sometimes a body sponge or bath gloves - depends on what I feel like using. But I usually take a bath over showers. When I shower it's usually when I'm a hurry and I don't bother with any cloth then.

I prefer using a loofah or bath mitt to a wash cloth. It's a lot easily than fumbling around with a floppy cloth.

Hell no, in fact I have not applied soap to my body (apart from the smelly bits) since I were a youngster.

I just don't need it...water cleans enough. But then I'm fair and have normal skin not all greasy like say, a man.

I don't feel clean unless I scrub with a wash cloth.

Because I use cleansing milk (no water needed), occasionally lotion, so doing it over the sink works better.

Washcloths are among the germiest things, by the way.
Hmm what's wrong with a washcloth? Am I the only CDer who has to remove dead skin? I use a washcloth as often as I can and scrub scrub scrub off dead skin.

Ha ha ha. This seems a bit snide, but you are going to pay the price for not scrubbing your skin and not having "greasy skin." LOL The grease is good as it keeps your skin moist and pliant longer. IMO using a washcloth to scrub increases blood circulation to the skin and stimulates collagen, making sure you have soft, smooth and supple skin longer, all over your body.

I do this too when I'm feeling lazy or the washcloths are in the laundry. But it seems the cloth does a better job of removing dead skin without damaging my normal skin. Sometimes loofah scratches me.
