I think it was the first time I used body wash I didn't get it all washed out of the Axe Body Detailer thing and the next day I could smell my body wash from that thing through out the rest of the day. I made a joke about on my facebook saying that if you wanted an air freshner then don't clean the body wash put of the loofah. hahaha

I made a couple other jokes because of trying that body wash. Like I tried Apollo and made a joke about it saying I now smelled like a god or the black guy from Rocky. Trying the scent Excite I said I didn't feel that excited about it. One more joke I at least thought of because of their commercials was worrying I might get rape by a horde of crazy women.

It's fun to make fun of their commercials.

While I do use body wash. I still use soap for my face. But that's mostly because I think it would be hard to not get soap in my eyes using that liquid soap and I expect based on the smell of Axe body wash that it would hurt pretty badly if it got in my eyes.

Well Dial makes a body wash that my mom uses. They are known for making anti-bacterial products.

I used to use their soap for my showers. But eventually I got a rash on my chest and I had to stop. It took Maybe a couple weeks to a month before it went away. I think what happened is it killed to many bacteria, including good bacteria and that is why I had the rash. I still use dial liquid soap for washing my hands and I have no problems.

I use a biodegradable, environmentally friendly body wash. It doesn't have a smell to it but I'm not trying to impress anyone anyway. I'd hate to accidentally kill all the bacteria on my skin and open myself up to infection.

Im not really sure if it can happen though.. but i use mild bodywash so thats not really my concern. Its cool to use natural bodywash.. :)

You don't think what can happen? Killing the symbiotic micro organisms on your skin and opening yourself up to infection? Is your opinion based on research or are you just guessing? Because I'm a bio major who works in the medical field and I know for a fact that it can and does happen.

I use soap and body wash. Whatever gets me clean and refreshed, after a hard days work. That's all I need!

Wouldn't that depend on the soap you use or do all soaps kill germs? As I stated earlier on this thread I had a bed experience using Dial soap for showers. So I know you can certainly have problems from that one. But I haven't any problems using what I'm using now which is not labeled as anti-bacterial.

I'm just asking. Not trying to argue.

It depends on the soap, some are more harsh then others. Unless you've been exposed to a dangerous bacteria like mrsa or have some other kind of condition, anti bacterial soap shouldn't be used on your body, just on your hands.

Hey im not trying to defend. I just told you i didnt knew it might happen.. maybe to the ones with sensitive skin or maybe if the soap is harsh. Thats cool that your a bio major.. im not questioning your knowledge. I didnt know so i was asking. No offense man :smile:

I think it's more about the active ingredients in the soap, which does the harm, as in most products. In large doses, common components in antibacterial soaps like triclosan and triclocarban can do some harmful effects. Studies have been done about this and I read it, so I know that can happen. I am, after all, a chili cheese fries connoisseur.

Evidently the OP should have asked for your resume before making her comment.
