What is
body wash?
Body wash is a liquid cleanser that you can use in place of traditional bar soap when bathing. Typically applied with a pouf, loofah, washcloth, or even just your hands, body wash comes in a variety of formulas, from creamy moisturizing body wash to invigorating shower gels. Using body wash not only helps cleanse the skin, but it can also provide a pleasant fragrance and enhance the sensory experience of your shower.
How to use a hydrating body wash
in your daily shower routine
To enjoy using a hydrating body wash in the shower, follow these tips:
- Rinse your skin with warm (not hot) water.
- Squeeze some hydrating body wash into your hand, onto a sponge, loofah, pouf, or washcloth, and gently lather your body from the top down.
- Rinse thoroughly to ensure all product is effectively washed off the skin.
Benefits of using a
body wash for dry skin
Does your skin feel dry? Your shower routine can have an impact on your skin’s moisture levels. Taking long, hot showers can strip skin of its natural oils and cause damage to its moisture barrier1, causing a feeling of tightness and other signs of dry skin. Traditional bar soaps generally have a higher pH than skin and can cause further dryness and moisture loss2. Using a moisturizing body wash can help hydrate skin in the shower and can also deliver long-lasting moisture that supports your skin’s moisture levels.
NIVEA’s collection of body wash products is formulated to help provide nourishing moisture to skin, leaving skin feeling soft and looking healthy.
NIVEA Nourishing Care Body Wash with Nourishing Serum gently cleanses without drying skin. Its formula, enriched with a unique blend of plant-derived oils, essential skin lipids, and vitamins, creates a creamy lather for amazingly soft skin.
NIVEA Shea Butter Body Wash with Nourishing Serum is also enriched with a unique blend of plant-derived oils, essential skin lipids, vitamins, and Shea Butter, for healthy-looking skin that feels nourished.
Body wash for
sensitive skin
If you have sensitive skin, you may experience irritation when using traditional bar soaps. Using a gentle, nourishing body wash formulated for sensitive skin can help provide gentle cleansing. Look for terms on product labels such as “fragrance-free,” “hypoallergenic,” or “formulated for sensitive skin” to see which body wash might work for your skin.
NIVEA MEN Sensitive Body Wash is specifically developed for sensitive skin with soothing Bamboo extract and Almond Oil. The formula gently cleanses skin, provides nourishing moisture, and is free of soap and drying alcohol.
