It’s imperative that you treat your dry skin accordingly. Drier skin types can suffer numerous symptoms such as eczema or flaking or irritation. That is why it’s important that you use the right products for your skin and especially the best body wash for dry skin.

The wrong choice could result in your skin having a terrible reaction or even just getting drier and drier. It’s common for typical body washes to not cater to drier skin, the intense fragrances used can be too harsh on them.

In the hopes of helping you treat your skin the way it needs, we’ve put together this list of the top 3 options for your dry skin. These body washes are guaranteed to soothe your dry skin and to give it the moisture it needs!

What Your Skin Needs…

Your skin is talking to you. It reacts to products to tell you what it doesn’t like and it can respond to some to show that it loves them. You need to listen to your skin and give it what it needs and craves. This is especially true for drier skin.

Here are a few pointers to pay attention to in order to find the best body wash for dry skin:

  • Fragrance Free or Specific Fragrances: The best way to prevent your skin from reacting to body washes is to avoid fragrances. Heavily fragranced body washes are always most likely to strip your skin of moisture or give you a bad reaction. It’s true that sometimes fragrance-free can be a bit bland so if you’re going to opt for a fragrance we’d recommend Coconut or Shea butter. This is because those body washes most likely won’t use fragrances; they’ll simply include those hydrating ingredients which enhances the scent.

  • Keywords: There are a number of key words you should keep an eye out for when picking your body wash. There are the generic “moisturizing, hydrating” etc. but you should always look for words like “soothing, healing” etc. Soothing body washes will actually keep your skin hydrated without being too harsh on it. You should also keep an eye out for the word ‘nourishing’ because that will have the same desired effect.

  • Formula: When it comes to body washes for drier skin, you’ll want to avoid any gels. Gels can be very harsh and stripping especially on more sensitive skin. They can really strip your skin of its natural moisture. It is always better to find milkier/creamy formulas. These really sink into your skin and feel gentle on it. They also have the added bonus of being extra moisturizing!
