I just pick up whichever is cheapest. I'm not too picky when it comes to these products. I just like to be clean and other than the soap not doing its job, I'd be up for any brand or any type. I still prefer soap over bodywash though, but at the same time body wash is a lot more convenient.
I have used both, and I prefer to use good 'ol soap as compared to body wash. I have used Dove's body wash before, and it felt a bit sticky in my opinion.
i prefer Himalya face wash for a better care of the skin of my face and Dettol Original for a good hygiene to my body .. both the products are part of my per day bath for 10 years ..
