Body Wash


Have you noticed how many products are out there just for basic hygiene lately? In my day, it was bars of soap and bottles of shampoo--very few choices. Now, the soap and shampoo products vary greatly depending on what skin type or hair type one has. My son refuses to use bar soap now--he only wants "body wash"--and only certain kinds. His shampoo is also a specific kind, for dry hair, I think. Shaving also requires specific products--a plain razor and soapy water just won't do. It is funny how puberty changes the products you buy--when they were little, it was baby bath and baby shampoo--now, scented body wash and moisturizing shampoo. And the packaging is clearly meant to catch the eye of teenagers who want to look and smell their best. At least he has reached the age where he DOES care--a few years ago, I could barely get him to shower! Now, he is obsessed with hygiene and appearance. My how times have changed! :)
