I just buy cheap $2 bottles of shampoo and use it for my whole body. Cheaper than shower gel, and I've been doing it for over 5 years with no problems. It's all soap, right?
Right! I actually worked at P&G in the dawn dish soap division for a while. The same ingredients that go into the dish soap also go into the body and hair soaps. There are some different additives, concentrations, and flavors but it's all the same based ingredients. Also my entire body is covered in skin and hair so what does it matter?
Exactly! Although I find dishwashing detergent dries out your skin a lot more, so I wouldn't try using that lol. Shampoo has a pH closer to your skin than a bar of soap, so is really quite well suited for it.
