Shower gel, soap, cleansing bar: which one for your skin?
The hygiene aisle is a maze. Here's help choosing without drowning in options.
Facing a wall of cleansing products, we often grab the first one that smells nice. But they're not all the same, and the most fragranced isn't necessarily the gentlest.
Gentleness before fragrance
For skin that gets tight easily, a gentle, lightly fragranced product is often more comfortable. Heavily scented or stripping cleansers can irritate some sensitive skin.
Listen to your skin
The best product is the one that leaves your skin comfortable, with no tight feeling. For very reactive skin, a pharmacist can point you to a suitable option.
