I use a rotation of African Black Shea Butter bar soap, Ivory soap (once in awhile, but it dries skin out too much now), and then I use Fels Naptha bar soap (it is used for many things, and I had to google it to find it as I had never heard of, but it is an old soap used for things from washing clothes/stains, to use for poison ivy), and it actually does a good job when I'm in a flair without drying me out alot.
I cannot use the Dove bar and others that dermotologist has offered, as the extra ingredients cause my flair to be a full-blown horror!
