How to pick your ideal shower products

Gone are the days when just going under the shower, picking a cleanser, and washing away impurities were all there was to a shower routine. A plethora of products is now available in the market that elevates your routine showers to a skincare experience. Hence, we are taking a closer look at shower gels, body scrubs, and face scrubs to understand their benefits and to help you pick what works best for you.

Why pick shower gels as a cleanser

Shower gels are one of the three main cleansers available in the market today besides body washes and bar soaps. Shower gels are much easier to wash with than slippery soap bars and their quick-foaming formulations are great at cleansing, without stripping the skin of its protective barrier. Shower gel has a firmer, gel-like consistency and is less hydrating than a body wash, making them ideal for those living in warmer climates or with oily skin.

Benefits of face and body scrubs 

Body and face scrubs do the same job but it is better to not use them interchangeably. Body scrubs have a thicker consistency, larger particles, and a higher concentration of acids than facial scrubs. Some common components in body scrubs are too abrasive or irritating for facial skin. 

Scrubs remove dead skin cells, rejuvenate skin, unclog pores, draw out ingrown hair, help absorb skincare products, smoothen and even out the skin, and promote circulation. It is recommended to not use them more than once or twice a week as overusing them can lead to dry and irritated skin.

Where to look
