The 10 Best Bar SoapsAu revoir, shower gel. These top-rated bar soaps will have you making the switch |
What image pops into your head when you hear the word "bar soap"? I instantly think of those plain, paper-wrapped soaps in hotel bathrooms. You know, the ones that always end up melting into the shower or sink after one use?
Basically, bar soaps get a resounding "meh," and I'll be the first to admit I've stuck with my trusty body wash for a while now. But after years of bar soaps staying out of the spotlight, they're back. Beauty junkies everywhere are swapping out their shower gel for a bar soap -- and I'm one of 'em.
Turns out there is a breed of bars that can pack as much luxury (if not more) than their liquid counterparts, and Total Beauty readers have found them. Our reviewers have ranked these must-have bar soaps from better to best, so you can skip the dry, tight skin and go straight to soft and supple in one step.

I love the Dove unscented sensitive skin. And I'll have to look into the Aveda rosemary mint for my husband, who loves rosemary.

I want the Dr. Bonner's one, but I could never spend more than maybe $5 for bar soap, the Chanel one is crazy.
