REFLECTION QUESTIONPersonal Care Lather UpWhat are the economic and personal benefits of switching to bar soap/shampoo/conditioner or refillable bottle options?
Gabriela Lasso de la Vega 7/11/2019 2:32 PMBar soap tends to be more cost efficient that bottled soap and it works just as well. Bar shampoo is usually more expensive than regular shampoo, but a little goes a long way and I've seen an improvement in the appearance of my hair since using bar shampoo. I will definitely be using bar soap from now on, and possibly using bar shampoo long term as well.-
Hilda Arellano 7/11/2019 3:01 PMGreat idea, I need looking for the bar shampoo (and is more easy for transport in the airplane :) )
