Have you ever used a face wash as a body wash? {Your Opinion}

Swathy · January 23, 2012 · 15 Comments

I just wanted to ask you all if you had ever used face wash in place of a body wash? I have definitely done so on many occasions, the most being during my travel. If I am going to my relatives place or some where else, I always carry my face wash and use it for my body as well. This serves to lighten my travel kit and spares me the necessity of debating on the best body wash which can be easily carried. Also, I feel that face washes are supposed to be milder than the body wash (need not be so in all cases, though) so they keep the body skin softer and do not dry out the body as some soaps and body washes tend to.

    I do too and I have super sensitive skin! I am currently using Khadi’s Neem Facewash as a complete routine for face and body. I tend to use facewashes with disinfecting properties for the face to fix infections in my body skin.

    Hi, I had bought a big bottle acne clearing face wash of a famous brand(a bit pricy) , and it worked really well until I moved from coastal city to bangalore. Then it started to dry my face excessively. I dint want it to go waste so I used it body wash, and did that do wonders to my skin. It was just awsome
