How to Choose Body Wash?

First, understand the cleansing power of body wash ingredients:

Soap base > Sulfate surfactants (referred to as "surfactants" in this article) > Non-ionic surfactants > Amphoteric surfactants > Amino acid surfactants.

Different cleansing ingredients may affect skin feel differently, so choose based on personal needs or experience:

Body Wash | How to Choose for Dry, Itchy, or Peeling Skin?

• Choose moisturizing body wash: If your skin is not oily and tends to feel dry, itchy, or flaky, avoid strong cleansers like soap-based formulas. Opt for gentle, hydrating body washes with amino acid, amphoteric, or non-ionic surfactants.
• Try foaming body wash or shower oil: These have milder cleansing properties and won’t strip the skin of its natural moisturizing factors, making them a good choice for winter.

Body Wash | How to Choose for Oily or Acne-Prone Skin?

• Choose a stronger cleanser, such as a body wash containing AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids).
• Exfoliate regularly with scrubs or other exfoliating products. Thickened dead skin cells can block the absorption of moisturizers.
