Tips and Inspiration
From Unilever Beauty Experts
What’s the deal with body soap? It’s crazy how something as commonplace as a good old bar of soap can cause such confusion – often in the personal hygiene aisle of a grocery store, while faced with boxes upon boxes of products that all practically do the same thing. Or do they? Find out what’s the most suitable body soap you can use based on your skin type!
Body Wash vs. Soap
Newsflash: It’s not unmanly to care about your skin. Knowing the difference between body soap and body wash can improve your shower experience, as well as help your skin.
According to research, body soap works by breaking down the oils on your skin’s surface and dislodging and dissolving the dirt and germs. Body wash uses the same process to clean the skin, but it also contains certain ingredients that address common skin conditions, such as dryness or clogged pores.
1. For Skin That Needs More Moisture
Your skin is on the dry side when it feels rough or feels tight after showering. If this is the case, you might benefit from a body wash. Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Body Wash is formulated to clean away bacteria while moisturizing skin with Micromoisture technology and protecting skin against dryness.
2. For Skin that Needs Extra Protection from Germs
Harvard Health called it: skin is teeming with bacteria. If you sweat a lot and are often outdoors, your skin is even more exposed to germs and may have more bacteria that can cause body odor, or worse, diseases. For superior germ protection, try Lifebuoy Total 10 Bathing Bar Soap, which contains Activ Silver, a powerful antibacterial ingredient that penetrates germs to destroy them. It offers 10 times better protection against germs than the usual bar soap. The refreshing scent is a bonus!
3. For Sensitive Skin that Needs Mild Care
Even men get sensitive skin. When your skin feels dry, tight, or itchy, use a milder soap such as Lifebuoy Bar Mild Care. It protects skin from germs and odor with Activ Silver, but comes in a gentle formula that won’t leave your skin feeling dry.
