What's The Difference Between Shower Gel, Body Wash, and Bar Soap?
You might not think too much about the differences between each product, but there are some key ones. Shower gels tend to be a dense gel consistency whereas body washes are more likely to lather lightly and feel like soap on the skin. Bar soap is a traditional square, round or oval-shaped bar of soap that lathers up on the skin or sponge.
With that in mind, let’s briefly recap some of the skin types and concerns that you might want to address in your shower routine.
Skin Types In Relation To Shower Routine
Dry skin often feels tight (especially after washing), rough and can crack. It tends to look dull and you might notice lines and wrinkles forming where the skin is exposed to the sun. Your skin might also look flaky or ashy if you have darker skin. Dry skin is lacking in moisture and hydration so usually needs products that rebalance and add hydration.
Oily skin is caused by an overproduction of natural oils (also known as sebum) in the skin. It can leave skin looking shiny and greasy, leaving it prone to blocked pores, large pores, and acne. You might find that products slide off your skin or you feel self-conscious about the texture of your skin. The good news is that oily skin is often less prone to wrinkles.
Acne-prone skin can feel painful, inflamed, and may look red. There are usually blemishes, blocked pores, and you may find that your pores look more visible. Acne can appear anywhere on the body, though it’s common on the back, chest, and face.
Sensitive skin is skin that is reactive to certain products, ingredients or chemicals. You might find that your skin feels painful, sore, inflamed or red. Sensitive skin can be dry, oily or acne-prone as well as sensitive.
Different types of shower products and formulations can help with different skin types or concerns.
Body wash can be more hydrating and gentle on the skin so can be a better choice if you have dry or sensitive skin. Shower gel can be slightly more drying. Bar soap can be even more drying still, so can be good for oily skin types - however, you need to be careful it doesn’t strip the natural oils from your skin’s surface.
