    Cleaning your body seems simple enough. If you’re smelly or sweaty, just hop in the shower or get in the bath.

    But when you start getting into the details, things get more complicated. How often should you wash? Is it better to use bar soap or liquid cleansers? When should you get a new loofah?

    Dermatologists Drs. Sonia Batra and Michelle Henry answer honest questions on the subject. Some of their responses may surprise you!
