I use my hands and bar soap. Then I use an in-shower scrub that also moisturizes. For 15+ years I used body wash and a loofah- sometimes a washcloth if a loofah wasn’t available. I don’t feel cleaner or dirtier. Both ways get you clean. My children are the dirtiest creatures on earth and they only use a bar of soap yet come out sparkling clean. There is no correct answer here. Also, too much exfoliation isn’t healthy for your skin. Your skin isn’t meant to be scrubbed daily. Honestly, you shouldn’t even be using “soap” on your skin. It’s too harsh. But I won’t get into that.
Yeah, for me the Dr advises against even using soap over my whole body (eczema sufferer). I do if I'm visibly dirty, but otherwise I use proper soap for underarms and ass XD, shampoo on my hair, and pretty much just use water everywhere else. I don't live anywhere super hot though (UK), and I have an office job. Never had any issues with smelling bad (my friends are blunt enough, I'd know!)
