A warm shower before going back to bed does much more than make you feel clean. Having said that, choosing the right temperature for your shower and the ideal shower gel is critical for boosting your bathing routine. While bathing with hot water feels great for your muscles and your stress — it does very little good to your skin. Natural shower gels, on the other hand, have immensely grown in popularity. Why? Because they avoid sulphates – which can cause clogged pores, and parabens – which have been scientifically proven to infiltrate into the deepest layers of your body and can desensitise the skin.
So, if you’ve been thinking about switching to gel-based products that soothe your skin softly yet effectively, smell beautiful, and are packed with the best of everything clean, we’ve compiled a list of the most refreshing shower gels and body washes for every skin concern.
5 Best Natural Body Washes For All Skin Types
For A Rosy Glow!
Concern: Dullness
You’re not a morning person, are you? We have everything you need to get your morning ritual started. The rich lather of the St.Botanica Bulgarian Rose Otto Glow Body Wash is infused with oils (including rosehip and macadamia) that cleanse and awaken your skin. The Bulgarian Rose Otto Oil removes pollutants and replenishes the skin’s hydration. Oh, and this stimulating blend is one of the best body washes in India and smells like a tropical vacation in the shower. Hello, good-smelling plump skin!
Nourishment 101
Concern: Dryness
Imagine enjoying a shower that satisfies all of your senses while smelling delicious? When we say delicious, we actually mean a charming blend of velvety Shea Butter and warm Vanilla. Yes, this Dove Pampering Body Wash is a blessing! The luscious Shea Butter in this body wash is perfect for dry skin and it delivers deep conditioning to your skin making it appear softer instantly. What else? It includes Nutrium Moisture too — a mix of natural moisturisers (read: lipids) that is a godsend for flaky skin.
For The New Mom
Concern: Pregnancy & Postpartum Care
Whether you’re expecting a baby or a new mom, we think your skin needs a hug of moisture. Grab the Natural Body Wash from Mom’s Co, which gently cleanses your skin with coconut-based cleansers while infusing the aroma of revitalising orange to lift your spirits. What could be more persuasive than a body care product that guarantees a toxin-free formula? Psst! It’s got the ginger essential oil too that helps with the awful morning sickness.
Definitely Your Cup Of Tea
Concern: Bacne
With the goodness of green tea in this shower gel, bathing is not only going to be refreshing now but also energetic. This gentle, moisturising shower gel is free of parabens, and SLS and is 100 per cent vegan. It also contains glycerin, which is known to safely and naturally hydrate skin to render it exceptionally soft and smooth.
A Cuppa Coffee
Concern: Pigmentation
If you’re a coffee lover whose day isn’t complete without a cup of coffee (or five?), try MCaffeine’s coffee-infused body wash, which is making a big impression this monsoon. Not only does the unique recipe energise your skin, but the aroma of coffee is a treat for your senses. The coffee and caffeine blend aims for gentle exfoliation; the coffee oil in the scrub acts as a polishing agent, and the natural AHAs are known to provide an even skin tone.
Now, dampen your loofah, squeeze a small amount of the shower gel and get scrubbin’!
