Body wash, also commonly known as shower gel is a generic term for liquid soap used to clean the body during a shower.
Most people wonder why they should go for shower gels/body wash when they could simply make do with a soap bar.
Although they are far more high priced than bar soaps, here are some of the reasons why you should pick body wash over bar soap.
1. Easy To Use
Soap can be slippery and sometimes getting the residue out of your soap dish can be back-breaking. Body wash, on the other hand, comes packaged in a bottle, so it is easy to use exactly the amount you want without leaving any mess.
2. Alternative To Shampoo
It foams easily so it can also be used as a shampoo for your hair.
3. Exfoliation
Exfoliation involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin’s outermost surface.
It is said that shower gels are better in cleaning your body due to the liquid which has the properties of the necessary nutrients for gentle exfoliation.
4. Moisturizer
Moisturizers are mixtures which can be used to prevent the skin from becoming too dry or oily, such as with light, non-greasy water-based moisturizers.
Most of them are also moisturizers. This means they can be less drying than bar soaps.
5. Healthy Skin
Most body wash can help infuse water and essential oils into your skin, which helps protect it against the elements—particularly during cold weather.
Some also contain vitamin E and other nutrients that are beneficial to your skin.
6. Antibacterial Protection
Some are antibacterial and help to kill germs while cleaning dirt, excess oil, odor, sweat, and makeup from your skin.
They can help inhibit body odor that can result when germs naturally multiply on your skin.
7. Last Longer
Soaps have a higher chance of wasting away. You are most likely bound to losing some part of the soap due to moisture or when left in a wet soap-dish.
Shower gels are restricted within their tube-like packaging and are immune to moisture issues. Further, it is easier to squeeze-out a more measured amount of gel.
