Today I wanted to take the opportunity to spotlight on of my favourite beauty indulgences; body wash! I absolutely love body wash. I think it totally outperforms soap, and I can't believe that I had been using plain old dove up until a few months ago. Here are the reasons why body wash is so awesome.
1. The scents - One of the reasons why I love body wash is how much more potent the fragrances are, and how much longer they last on the skin. I personally love to go with body washes that contain all-natural fragrances, but honestly, just go for whatever works for you and makes you happy. There is nothing better than smelling wonderful after a shower. You can even customize scents depending on what time you shower; perhaps you want something fresher, or more minty in the morning to wake you up, and something more soothing, like lavender, for night time showers. The possibilities are endless. My personal favourite scents are vanilla
2. They don't melt in the shower - One of my biggest pet peeves with bar soaps is how they always begin to melt just sitting in the shower, which means they don't last nearly as long. It bothered me so much that i would keep my soap in a plastic container and take it out of the shower when I wasn't using it. Now, I'm sure that this works perfectly fine for many people, but I tend to be somewhat forgetful, which would result in me forgetting to bring in my soap. And no one likes that moment where you have to trek across your bathroom in the middle of your shower to grab something, thus leaving a huge puddle on the floor. *Sigh.*
3. Typically more moisturizing - Bar soap is known to sometimes be somewhat stripping on our skin, so if you happen to suffer from dry skin, body wash is probably the best way for you to go. More moisturizing ingredients are usually included in body washes, from Shea butter, to coconut oil to cocoa butter.
So there you have it guys! I know a lot of you are probably adamant about remaining faithful to your trusty bar of soap, but why not try something different? It's all about finding the right body wash for you that fits your needs, so a little trial and error may be required before you find your perfect fit.
Do you guys prefer body wash or bar soap? What's your favourite?
