This hot summer season, the most worthwhile investment in the beauty arena will be something as simple as a good body wash, because there is nothing as refreshing with a boost of confidence this sweat season as a fragranced body wash that can keep the body odor away throughout the day. It’s better than tighter skin, and a glowy-even complexion trust me it is because you can’t look all ‘glammed’ up without smelling good.
Despite the fact that what we want to achieve is mainly to be refreshed and keep the summer woes away, it’s also good to ensure your skin is been nourished and pampered. Thank goodness, many body washes are on the market right now that are full of skin-loving ingredients to boost hydration, and plump the skin as well as keep it refreshed, and that’s how you know the best on the market.
Daily use of your body washes is usually the best in the humid season, this can be done first thing in the morning or last thing at night, but for summer days I will recommend at least a daily wash in the day as that’s the time we’re most busy and up and about. You can also do both – meaning morning and night showers, which can also aid a good sleep at night while keeping fresh in the day. This might sound indulgent, but the little pamper your pocket can provide is all the daily lift you need in the hot season.
There are some body washes that smell just like your favorite fragrance and some are something close to spa-like vibe – meaning they can sometimes come with aromatherapy oils or essential oils, which brings us to what the exact skin-loving ingredients to look out for when looking for the best body washes on the market, to find the best summer body wash for yourself, it must be fragranced, it can sometimes contain Vit C to brighten the skin and keep the glow on, hyaluronic acid to attract moisture to the skin and keep it youthful, ceramides to protect your skin barriers, collagen to treat wrinkles, kinds of butter like mango butter or shea butter for moisture and protection, essential oils like argan oil, squalane oil, etc to seal moisture and full of antioxidants to protect the skin from free radicals.
We also have the resurfacing body washes for daily gentle exfoliation, they contain mainly AHAs and BHAs – gentle chemical exfoliants, (ensure you use your SPF 30 when using this type of body wash, as it can make the skin more sensitive to the sun rays, and to achieve the best out of your skin thrice a week usuage with other normal body washes is best advised), some do come very creamy which will be great for a dry skin type, there are the gel-like formulas that’re so lightweight and lightly fragranced for both normal, combination and sensitive skin and of course, check with your dermatologist before trying anything new this summer especially if you have reactive sensitive skin.
To use, just squeeze or pump a five-finger measurement into your sponge, allow it to lather by damping your sponge then scrub, starting from the armpits, the groins then every part of the body. Ready to splurge this summer season? here are the best on the market:
