- October 16th, that's the day I gave up soap and began feeling clean and fresh. I shower with Zest. It started when I was asked to give up my favorite soap and use only Zest. When I saw that my soap left a soap film, even after rinsing, and Zest didn't, I agreed to try Zest. Cleaner, that's the word that describes Zest. It made me feel cleaner. You don't feel like you still have soap on your skin. Will I go back to using soap? Nope, I like Zest. Announcer: Give up soap today. With deodorant Zest, you'll feel cleaner than soap.
