Ingredients That Make Up the Perfect Shower Gel
You know that moment when you’re so bored in the washroom, you start to read the labels on all your bath products? We’ve all been there! If the ingredients list never made much sense to you, you’re in the same boat as a lot of people. But maybe that’s only because you never knew what you should be looking for. Well, it might be time to take a look at that list of ingredients again, with a purpose in mind this time.
We’re always so conscious about the ingredients that we put into our body, it only makes sense to do the same for what we put on our bodies. When it comes to shower gels, there are 3 basic things that we all want. For it to cleanse our body, hydrate our skin and leave behind an enchanting fragrance! So let’s start there-
The main goal of any shower gel is to get us squeaky clean. This means that not only should it be able to deep clean our skin and unclog our pores, it should also fight off germs and bacteria. Of course, this is even more important considering the pandemic times that we live in! While picking a body wash, look for ingredients that have antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, such as:
- Menthol
- Activated charcoal
- Tea tree oil
- Peppermint
