i use water, bar soap, and moisturizer and thats pretty much it. (and an epilator for hair removal)

it does keep me clean, but my skin is not so smooth. i would enjoy seeing what others around here do, or perhaps resources you find useful as well.

side tangents on nails, hair, etc. are also welcome :)

Face skincare is a whole other thing but for body skin care I do as needed hand and foot masks and regular application of lubriderm lotion as well as a few different hand lotions positioned strategically throughout my life. And I exfoliate a bit with loofahs or sugar scrubs sometimes. Oh and SPF lotion anywhere exposed, always! Very occasionally I'll do a chemical exfoliation overnight followed by retinol the next night.

I need to get some again but jojoba oil is amazing for problem areas of skin.
