   body wash is just a liquid version of soap…except a lot of times with a moisturizing component. Body scrub is also a liquid version of soap, except it has little beads or granules of a substance that helps to exfoliate your skin. The little beads or granules (which might feel sort of like salt or sand scrubbing your skin) actually help to remove the layer of skin on the surface to reveal the healthier, glowing skin underneath.

   Both are beneficial depending on what you’re looking for. If you want that extra glow, then the scrub is probably your best bet. But most body washes have moisturizing ingredients, which is good if you need a little moisture.

   body wash-its like soap and you use it to clean only the top layer of skin

   body scrub-used to wash away dead skin cells an dmakes skin softer

   the difference is that body scrub is used to cleanse and exfoliate your skin. it usually has some kind of gritty feeling stuff in it that scrubs off the dead skin on your body. if you use it regularly and moisturize, your skin will be softer. regular body wash is just for cleansing the skin. i can’t really think of a disadvantage to either one, although if you have really sensitive skin, a body scrub might irritate it a little bit.
