I use a face washer and soap all over. I wash my face first, then rinse it, re-soap it, and then do the rest.

My XH always used to just use his hands and soap, and I could never get used to that idea - I need a face washer happy.gif

I use a shower puff on body, and hands only on face. If I am at work, or the gym, hotel etc I will just use hands and soap.

Do you know theres still a chance for you?
I use a flannel to wash my face if I am washing it at the hand basin.

In the shower I use a loofah with dove body wash and hands.

Never really thought about it before though, kinda assumed everyone did it the same as I do!!

Hi all,

Random question I know, but when we went to stay with PIL recently I asked for a face washer for the shower (I usually do my face, back of neck etc with one) and my MIL said they really didn't have any because they never use them.
Which I thought was odd because I always have.
Then on chatting to my mum about how they thought it was odd to have them, Mum thought it was really odd not to have them as she washes all of her with one in the shower.
My DH has always only used soap and hands.

So do you use a face washer to wash all over, just your face, or not at all?

Ok this is bizarre bc I was going to ask the same question a while back but didn't bc i thought I might get laughed at as it's bit lame. tongue.gif

Anyway, Face washer for face, neck, back, soap for all other bits. I don't like the feel of that plastic netting at all & I find most loofahs too rough so a flannel is perfect. Thanks for asking OP. laughing2.gif
We have so many washers, they seem to multiply.

Both my husband & I use:
Cleanser x 2 for face, neck, ears.
Hands & Soap for underarms & genitalia & anus.
Our own separate loofah & body wash for arms, underarms again, back, chest, buttocks, legs & feet.
We change the loofahs every month, they also get sanitised every week with viraclean. happy.gif

I always take my own soap, body wash & loofah whenever we stay at people's houses or at hotels. cool.gif

I mostly use just plain water and (liquid) soap but if I am feeling grubby, I will use a washcloth/flannel. Every couple of days or so, I use a facial scrub, but just use my hands for that. I probably loofah all over (well, mostly all over) every week or so.

In our place, everyone has their own flannel. Even the kids have their own washcloths - Disnay Princesses for DD1, Winnte the Poo for DD2. rolleyes.gif I'm the only one with a loofah/scrubber thing (girls are too young to worry about that). We have heaps of washcloths, they get used all the time, not just in the bathroom.

When we have guests, I provide each of them with a towel (2 towels if they wish, although most don't), a hand towel and a washcloth. Whether they use the washcloth or not is up to them, but at least they have the choice.

Hands and soap here. Facial scrub for my face and that is it.

If my feet are particularly dirty I use a natural scrub on them that my friends make. And every so often I use another one of their that is not so grainy over arms legs etc.
