What Is Shower Gel

A shower gel is a type of liquid body cleanser that may or may not contain soap. They tend to be a bit gentler on the skin than traditional soaps and are often made with emollient ingredients to help moisturize the skin as they clean. As the name implies, shower gels have a gel-like texture, though theyre more fluid than hair gels. Texturally, theyre more similar to hand soap.

Is Body Wash The Same As Soap

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.

Shower Gel Vs Body Wash Explained

While shower gel and body wash are often used interchangeably, theyre not necessarily the same thing. Shower gels, as noted above, always have a jelly-like texture. Liquid body cleansers with different texturesfor example, cream cleansers or oil cleansersare broadly known as body washes. Generally speaking, they have the same basic benefits as shower gels, though they may be slightly more beneficial for those with dry skin, particularly if they contain skin-friendly oils as a primary ingredient.

Can You Use Body Wash On Your Face

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.
