Body Wash, Body Soap & Body Scrubs

For centuries, soap has been used to effectively cleanse skin. Traditional soaps leave skin fresh and clean feeling but may not be suitable for sensitive or dry skin types. Body wash and shower gel use surfactants, an alternative to soap, to help the formula bind to oil and impurities so they can be rinsed away. While body soap will leave you with freshly cleansed skin, you may prefer a moisturizing body wash or shower gel. Cleanse the day away with a foaming body wash, an exfoliating body wash, or indulge with an aromatic foaming shower gel for a nourishing cleanse that will leave skin feeling softer.

If you have dry skin, you may prefer a gentle body cleanser instead of traditional soap. Kiehl’s has formulas for dry skin to keep you feeling clean and refreshed. Look for a mild, sulfate-free body wash or shower gel that does not strip skin’s moisture barrier and leaves skin feeling soft and supple.

Body wash is often formulated specifically for the skin on your body and is not suitable for your face or hair. Facial skin is more delicate than most of the skin on your body and should be cleansed with a face wash to remove impurities without over-stripping skin. There are some body cleansers carefully formulated for both face and body. For a full body clean from one formula, look for an all-in-one body wash that has been carefully tested and validated for safety and suitability on both body and face.

Exfoliating body scrubs are formulated with small particles that help remove dead skin. In addition to smoothing and exfoliating skin, body scrubs can also help body lotions and moisturizers better absorb after use. Start your morning with an exfoliating body scrub formulated with Aloe Vera, Chamomile, and Apricot Seed.

Many body wash scrubs are formulated to be used several times a week while others are gentle enough to be used every day for skin that feels smooth and supple. Learn more about how to exfoliate your body the right way.

Body cleansing oils can be a luxurious addition to your bath or shower routine. Within these gentle formulas, the oil binds to various impurities and helps break them down to cleanse them away. Oil cleansers also have beneficial properties that help nourish and soften skin. At the end of the day, wind down with a soothing cleansing oil that leaves skin moisturized and nourished.
