Shower gel works better this way

Shower gel ingredients

Shower gel generally consists of detergents, conditioners and other auxiliary additives. Among them, detergents are mainly surfactants, which can produce foam, emulsify and remove dirt and grease; conditioners are generally oily substances, which have the characteristics of emollient and reducing product irritation, and can make the skin smooth and moist; others Auxiliary additives mainly include foam stabilizers, flavors, pH regulators, viscosity regulators and preservatives, etc., which can make the shower gel last longer and smell better.

Some shower gels emphasize their drying effect, mainly using sodium fatty acid as a surfactant. When the ingredient list contains fatty acids (or palmitic acid, lauric acid) and sodium hydroxide (or potassium hydroxide), it means it contains sodium stearate, a surfactant that can provide a dry bathing experience.

Some shower gels use amphoteric surfactants, such as betaines (cocamidopropyl betaine, etc.). These surfactants have good thickening and emulsifying effects, can also improve the mildness of the product, and are easy to stay on the skin surface to moisturize and lubricate the skin. Therefore, your skin will feel smooth after using this body wash.

When using shower gel, you can first squeeze the shower gel onto a bath flower or towel, rub it until the foam is rich, and then apply it on your body. Use foam to massage the skin all over the body, especially in areas prone to dirt accumulation, such as back, chest, armpits, thighs, etc. Massage can help remove dead skin and dirt. It should be noted that don't let the foam stay on the body for too long, it is best to control it for 1 to 3 minutes. Rinse your body with warm water, making sure all the body wash is rinsed away. Do not leave any shower gel on your skin to avoid irritation.

After taking a shower, you can apply some moisturizing body lotion to your skin all over your body to keep your skin moist and smooth.

Frequent bathing or long-term use of shower gels that are too alkaline will damage the stratum corneum of the skin and accelerate the evaporation of water in the cells, leading to dry skin, itching, and even hyperkeratosis of hair follicles. Therefore, if your skin is not very oily, it is best to choose a neutral shower gel and control the amount used.

Everyone's skin condition is different, so when choosing a shower gel and how to use it, choosing a shower gel that suits your skin type can allow us to achieve the best care effect in a comfortable bath.
