American "drugstores" (stores that sell medicine, personal products and toiletries) sell many different kinds of "bath products" (things that are used to clean one's body). There are many types of "bar soap" (solid rectangles of soap), "body wash" (bottles of liquid soap for washing one's body), and "shower gels" (bottles of liquid "gel" (a thick liquid) for washing one's body). Some of the soaps are "scented" (with a nice smell) and others are "unscented" (without any scent) for "sensitive skin" (skin that becomes red, irritated, or itchy with exposure to certain chemicals).

There are also "loofahs," which are "rough" (not soft) sponges that are rubbed against one's skin to remove dead and "flaking" (coming off in small pieces) skin. Some loofahs are on long "handles" (the part that one puts in one's hand) as "back scrubbers" (a long device used to help one reach the middle of one's back). Other loofahs are shaped especially for scrubbing one's "heels" (the large, round part on the bottom of one's foot).

People who want to make their skin look younger might buy "exfoliating scrubs," or special creams with very small, hard pieces that are rubbed against the skin to remove old or dead skin and "reveal" (show) the newer, younger-looking skin underneath.

Soap "tends to be" (often is) "drying," meaning that one's skin becomes very dry if one uses a lot of soaps and heavy scrubbing, so drugstores also sell many types of "lotions" (creamy liquids that make one's skin feel softer) that are supposed to be "applied" (put on one's body) immediately after bathing or showering.
