What's the difference?

What's the difference between shower gel and body wash? They both work with a shower puff in the shower, but is body wash meant to be used in a different way? Am I not meant to use it in the shower?

I think they're the same thing! I've found that you can also use bubble bath as shower gel (useful if you get some for Xmas but always have showers rather than baths)

I use shower gel and body wash in the bath as well as the shower.

Not sure if there is any difference...just the wording of the product?

Hmmm, tell you the truth DiscoStu, there is hardly any difference between them. Like Pippa says, its the wording. its like msc and apc cleaning products, both exactly the same formulations.
But its not like that with everything. Dont go drinking fabric conditioner just because it looks like milk. And definately dont go drinking those washingup liquids, no matter how tempting they look...

Yes ~ and don't put hair tonic in your gin...not pleasant.
