I'm assuming body washes and face washes are essentially the same thing and manufatureres take advantage by separating a wash into face and body. I know someone who uses a body wash for her face body and hair and never suffered any adverse reactions. The reason why I'm thinking about this is because I'm just sick and tired of being bombarded with hundreds of products that all promise miracles in a bottle and all you get is the same old product packaged differently!! My dad has used soap as an all over wash and vaseline as an all over moisturiser from the day he was born and has NEVER changed products. He's 65 and looks at least 20 years younger. If you have a healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly, you should look young and vibrant anyway regardless of whay you apply. What do you think?

I think the theory is the body wash will clog your pores..I have never had a problem with it.
I get a chuckle over these beauty creams. I have never ever followed a regime. I use an all in one soap & moisturizer. It cleans and moisturizes all at once and that is all I use.
When I was a young whippersnapper, I tried out all sorts of potions...but so no advantage to doing so, so I stoppped, and for yeasrs and years and years I have used an all in one.
I have been told I look younger than my true age.which is almost 50. Two recent pics are found of me on my 360 blog.
If the beauty cream adds are to be believed, since I use almost nothing, I should look older than my years.
Another thing which has given me quite a chuckle: If beauty creams work, why doesn't everyone look young and vibrant?
Hmmm..that might make a good Yahoo question.

Soap will dry out your skin its harsh on your face. If you have good skin just use water in the morning. Your skin has natural oils with in it. If you clean your face at night just some water is good pat dry (never rub your skin ) and a light moisturizer, Oil of Ola is wonderful day or night, Vaseline will clog your pores you can use around eyes where crows feet tend to form
as far as at night to clean in shower use very little soap more water better wash under running water then moisturize..........Remember good skin runs in your family you need to take care of your so it will stay looking good when your 65 (baby oil is good for mascara and I think helps condition them, put a little on and remove with warm wash cloth)..Your right its all about $$$$ false promises at the cost of your pay check the 2 inexpensive things I use and have seen a really huge difference is Oil of Olay and Roc and they are not inexpensive and do just as good if not better I'm 45 and my skin looks very good most think I'm in my 30s (which both ages may seem OLD to you) one last thing a mans skin is different than ours please stay away from the vaseline............and stay out of the sun

I have to agree with your dad. Simple soap and an after body moisturerizer is what I've always used. I've never had a problem with any type of acne or anything. I am almost 40 and am told daily I look about 23. Hope you find what works best for you. By the way, I'm an IVORY baby.

I extremely have had a similar journey with the sparkling and sparkling morning burst physique wash. Their is a facial wash and a physique wash. i've got no longer bothered to look on the contents of the facial wash yet i'm constructive that's no longer any distinctive than the physique wash. some physique washes that are stable on your physique artwork just to boot as an throughout cleanser I.e. meaning your face too. i've got achieved it interchangeably with facial wash as physique wash and vice verse. in simple terms make certain you're nevertheless making use of a toner and mositurizer on your face to maintain the ph stability in simple terms good.

These products have been tried and tested for the uses they are advertised for. But soap is soap, and a lot of what you are paying for is marketing. So if you want to try to use a product for something else, you should definitely go ahead and do it. I used to use a bar of soap all over, but with my acne I had to switch to a different one for my face.
By the way, shampoo and body wash can probably also be used to clean your shower stall while you are still in it, when it is easier to get clean.

Don't see why not, I use my body wash to wash my face while I am in the shower. Who has the time in the morning to use a seperate product for the face?
I'm sure it's fine!

Well, I think its awesome that your dad is 65 and looks 45! Is he single, does he date? ...just joking...sure! use body wash for shampoo if you like the results. I have an expensive one here that makes my hair SHINE! It all depends on what you want and how it works on you. (Bar soap call dull your hair, though). Try it and see. Vaseline for moisturizer? Eww, I think that's extreme, but if it works for him, then he has found the treasure! Have fun experimenting!

The skin on your face is more sensitive than the skin on you body, so often bodywashes are too purfumed or abbrasive for your face. Just plain soap, is great for all(I like imperial leather, or pears, because they smell yummy too). My grandma is the same as your dad. So all these "miricle" products are generally a load of ****.

well i do agree with some of what you said about being bombarded with too much crap..the fact of the matter is, since you are african american, Im taking a wild guess, you have the good fortune of having somewhat thicker and stronger layers to your skin..this is why you guys age so well and dont have wrinkles..why ur dad looks younger...so you may not need all the fancy smancy that we white chicks do.

a facial wash is different from a body wash,
since the skin in our face is more sensitive than the skin in our body, however, there are some people who's skin are not so sensitive that they can tolerate body wash without allergic reactions...
so if you've been using body wash in your face
and you see no negative effects, just continue it.
