My ideal weekend includes a heavy self-care session – nail care, skincare, body care – all the works. And every self-care sesh is incomplete without an indulgent exfoliate, polish, and bath routine. Now I don’t know about you, but I like my body washes to give me a delectable experience and make me feel like I am on a tropical vacation. I’ll go out on a limb, and assume that you too gauge a body wash on similar criteria. After all, we all use self-care to fill the big void only vacations can fill.
A vacation void or not, showering is a therapeutic activity that has scientifically proven to literally ‘wash away your worries’. Studies have shown that a difference in water temperature can change your mood completely. Similarly, an uplifting aromatic experience can make your daily shower ritual even more gratifying.

To save you the trouble of scouring the internet for the best body wash for your mood, we have created a list of body washes that will go with your mood of the day.
