Hi,
One is obligated to keep his body clean, both as preparation for prayer and in general in honour of his Creator.
(Rivivot Ephraim 1:14)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Liquid soap on Shabbat
Hi,
The Torah prohibits smearing a cream on Shabbat.
Many authorities permit use of liquid soap on Shabbat, arguing that it is liquid like water. Rav Moshe Feinstein was uncomfortable with this; since the soap, when rubbed, will cover far more area than it could have in its initial state, this is also considered an act of smearing.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 1:113)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Brushing one's teeth on Shabbat
Hi,
One may not brush one's teeth with toothpaste on Shabbat, because of the prohibition against smearing a cream on Shabbat.
