What type of soap do you use?

Ivory, because it floats.....seriously, just plain old Ivory in the shower. For the sink I buy whatever large size liquid soap is available, generic, store brand, is fine with me.

Non-eczema flare: Bath and Body Cherry Blossom or Thousand Wishes.

Eczema flare: aveeno soothing with lavender.

I'm with you, no antibacterial stuff for me! Otherwise, I get whatever hand soap is one sale and I have a coupon for. Bonus if it moisturizes.

In the shower, I change it up every time because I love all the different scents. I don't like anything excessively food-y or flowery. Right now I'm loving SoftSoap's Avocado Extract and Iris; smells so pretty, but isn't so overwhelming that it gets to my patients.

Zest soap. Used it for years since the 80's when they advertised it keep your bathtub clean. (I hate to clean) now I'm just used to it. The soap by the sink is some good smelling stuff. Usually from bath and body works. Never antibacterial soap.

Tom's of Maine has a couple of nice soaps I use in the summer. The lavender and the unscented sensitive skin bars are my favorite.

In winter I switch to Dove or Cerave bars and swap the lotion for some heavier cream.

I always wash my face with liquid cleanser, Cerave or Cetaphil.

I'm a Bath & Body Works gal! I always stock up during the semi-annual sale, $30 buys enough bottles of body wash to last 6 months, and that's for my three daughters and me!

I also make my own sugar scrubs that I'll use in place of the body wash in order to keep my skin soft and hydrated.

Well...... I personally use bath and body works year round. I apply baby oil as soon as I get out every day.

In summer months (and whenever it's not winter) I use copper tone SPF on my exposed areas.

I use SPF face lotion every day year round.

I have 1 child with super dry itchy skin. (When he was a baby, he had eczema) I have him moisturize while his skin is still damp with unscented lotion. He can not use scented soaps, either. It's Dove or Ivory for him.

My other children use old school Jergens after they bathe.

I don't use antibacterial soap in my home, either! No Bueno for our immune systems!

I also can get itchy if I get lax on moisturizing properly. It happens in the winter sometimes.

For severe dry/itchy/eczema prone skin, for my kids, myself and the children I used to care for in my childcare business, I like: petroleum jelly, Shea butter and Burt's Bees.

Caveat to my above post: when finishing up nursing school, I had very little money and was almost out of liquid body wash. So I went to Pinterest and found recipes to make moisturizing liquid body wash. It was 1 bar of Dove soap, plus water plus a spoon full of coconut oil.

That's actually what I'm using now. [emoji6]

I use body wash in the shower, usually something that smells like coconut because it reminds me of the beach. :)

Just generic liquid by the sinks.

I stay away from antibacterial soap, I don't believe it's good to have all that antibacterial products being washed down the sink and into the treatment plants and back to water sources.

Blackberry Creek Farms Oat & Honey soap.

Works great on my dry/ itchy skin. Cleans effectively. Has a subtle but very pleasant smell.

While the individual bars are more expensive than the options typically available at my local stores, it lasts so much longer when properly cared for (soap dish that allows it to dry out between uses). Since it's not available locally, I order half a dozen bars at a time. I think a bar lasts between a month and 6 weeks; I usually order one to two times a year.
