    ladies, I'm heading back to the states this winter for a whopping seven weeks!! As far as I can tell, that's plenty long enough to justify buying all new shampoo/body wash/etc. when I get into town and saving myself the space in my suitcases.

    I can't for the life of me remember some of what I used to buy in America though, and of course my Chinese brands that I've come to love won't necessarily be available.

    So: What kind of body wash do you use? And why do you love it?

    I actually can't use B&BW - my skin is too sensitive for their fragrances or something. I get hives anytime I've used their scented lotion or bodywash for more than like 3 days running!

    Such a shame too, because their scents are GREAT!

    Oil of Olay Quench here as well.  It moisturizes my uber dry skin... However I love Caress in the yummy scents and I think it's really comparable to Bath and body works....

    I use Giovanni Dtox System body wash, and I love it, works great! Though I like it mostly because it's black hah!

    I use about a million - seriously, I have about 20 bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in my shower and only two belong to my FI.

    I like the Caress Exotics - I have the Japanese one that smells like sandalwood. I love B&BW - I have the coconut lime verbena and one from their true blue spa collection called Butter. It doesn't really have a smell and it's very moisturizing. I also have a St. Ives oatmeal one for when I have dry or itchy skin. I have more, but that's all I can think of right now!

    I use the dove for sensitive skin--I actually use the Walmart brand-but it's the same thing. My skin gets itchy if I use stuff from B&BW too.. you could look at that then.

    I use the Dove moisturizing body wash too. There is a generic brand of it at every store (Target, Wal-mart, etc.) and they're all exactly the same.

    This is one thing I like to switch up a lot. Right now I have Softsoap's Pomegranate Mango, and I LOVE it! (I didn't even know they made anything other than handsoap until I bought this!)

    @honeybun, I was looking at that online, and wondered about it. I also had never heard that softsoap did anything besides translucent hand soap, haha. My current body wash is pomegranate sceneted and I LOVE it; how's the scent on that one? is it moisturizing? lather well?

    I use Jason brand, Lavender scented bodywash. It's all organic and gentle, which is good for my uber sensative skin. I think it leaves my skin soft, and smells SOOOO good!!!!

    Ivory.  I usually hate the scented stuff, because it smells too strongly and is drying, and I found Ivory, and it was awesome.

    Then Wal-mart stopped selling the size I used, and sold a slightly more expensive half-size. 

    Then the local family dollar closed, so I bought a good 6-8 month's worth, because it was cheeeeap!

    I use Philosophy (you can get it at Sephora); either "Inner Grace" or "Gingerbread Man" (which I LOVE using during the holidays).  The scents stay for a while, so most days I don't even use perfume.

    I use Victorias Secret right now. I love the Vanilla Lacr but I also have the rose petals. They are both great.

    @daydreamwanderer: It smells soooo good!! Very refreshing - you should definitely try it! And it lathers great too. I'm not sure about the moisturizing part - I've used a million different soaps and bodywashes and I've never been able to tell any difference in them as far as that goes.

    I also use Softsoap! I have the cherry blossom scent and I love it! I also bought the coconut scrub to use when I have dry skin.

    Both smell wonderful and work well :D

    I buy the unscented 365 brand at Whole Foods and add essential oil for scent. It's about $4 for 32 oz. To the bottle I have now, I added tangerine oil, which is a great mood lifter in the morning.

    I change all the time. Right now I have vanilla scented Olay bodywash. I use anything as long as it smells good.

    olay quench made me itchy all over. i didn't realize when i bought the stuff that it has mineral oil in it, which is probably what made me itch.  after i used it it felt like i had a weird film layer all over my skin. i use aveeno stress relief body wash, which has a lovely lavender scent.

    i am addicted to philosophy's "classic fudge cake". it smells like warm brownies, but the scent doesn't linger on my body later clashing with my perfume. it's really moisturizing and really gentle. i have super sensitive skin and this stuff doesn't bother it one bit!

    I love Caress exotics, or Tone body wash with cocoa butter. Theya re really moisturizing and they lather really well. I have issues with B&BW stuff, too, and was so excited when I found these because they have such strong yummy scents. I love pomegranate and mango scents!

    Oh!  I've never thought of scenting my own.  Thanks for the tip, arizonabride.  I love grapefruit scented, but it's hard to find.

    I have tons of body wash....Victorias Secret (mostly scents that contain vnailla and/or sandalwood). B&BW...various scents. I love the Caress honey and vanilla scent. I also use the dial body washes...the kind with the exfoliating beads in it.

    I have two favs...

    In winter I love Philosophy's Gingerbread cookie. I swear it smells so good I could eat it.

    And during non-Christmasy times.. I love Victoria's Secret "Love Spell" body wash. This stuff is amazing! I can smell it all day long. Plus, the Mr. likes it too (on me, not him Laughing.

    I adore St. Ives Silk body wash. I have extremely dry and sensitive skin so I can't use just anything.

    @daydream: I can't use Bath and Body Works either! Same problem with the fregrance. I'm acutally fine with The Body Shop (they use less fregrance and higher quality products) which I used to use but am currently using Philosophy which I also have no problem with and love! It is a light sent so not over powering.
