Which shower gel should you choose for soft and clean skin?
Of course, the question seems simple: which shower gel should you choose? The one that smells the best, obviously! That’s true, but not only that. There are many factors to consider when choosing the bottle that will accompany you daily in the bathroom. To save you time, Corine de Farme gives you the most important ones.
Start by determining your skin type
When it comes to hygiene and skincare, this is the foundation—and believe us, our Sacrées Natures know a thing or two about pampering it. Before you can know which shower gel to choose, you need to learn how to (re)recognize your skin type.
Smooth and soft, generally even, without marks, redness, or roughness—your skin is normal. Shiny in some areas, especially on the face, with enlarged pores, it tends to be oily.
Dry skin, on the other hand, is generally even but tends to feel tight, itchy, or even peel at times, especially when it’s very cold in winter. This is often called “crocodile skin.”
Finally, sensitive skin is quite similar to dry skin, except that it reacts very easily to external elements or the application of certain products. More than any other, it is essential to care for it gently. This is precisely the mission that Corine de Farme has set for itself.
Discover the different types of shower gels
To make sure your shower remains a unique moment of pleasure day after day, Corine de Farme has created a wide range of shower gels for you, each one meeting a specific need.
The body and intimate care shower gel is formulated without sulfates and with 93% ingredients of natural origin, to offer you the pleasure of a complete shower, even for the intimate area, without having to change products.
Children’s shower gels are formulated according to Clean Beauty standards, without controversial ingredients and with a maximum of natural-origin components, to respect their delicate sensitive skin. In bottles featuring their favorite heroes, at bath time, they fill the house with their woody or sweet scents.
Care shower gels, surgras shower gels, Pure 0% care shower gel and Tolérance + shower gel, are formulated to meet the needs of your skin if it is particularly sensitive or reactive, if it reddens easily, gets irritated or becomes painful for no reason. Made in France, formulated with over 90% ingredients of natural origin, pH neutral, soap-free, dye-free, and offered in an economical and recycled bottle; they have everything to please.
Of course, you can also treat yourself to a shower gel from the Corine de Farme Organic range or enjoy 2-in-1 shower gels if you’re part of the “always in a hurry” team. We have developed a care product for every Sacred Nature, and of course for yours!
Read and understand labels to know which shower gel to choose
At Corine de Farme, it’s easy: the labels are clear, the products are made in France, and the ingredient lists are as short as possible, with the vast majority being of natural origin, non-controversial, non-irritating, and non-allergenic.
Still, reading labels carefully is the best way to know which shower gel to choose without making things complicated. For example, the mention of neutral pH ensures a product that respects the skin’s barrier.
When it comes to cleansing agents, choose non-sulfated surfactants and gentle cleansers such as Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI), Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate (SLMI), or Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate.
Moisturizing agents should also be as natural as possible and therefore similar to vegetable oils and natural butters known for their ability to protect the skin: sweet almond oil, monoï, or shea butter.
We also help you choose a shower gel for babies. We’ve also thought of children, both girls and boys. You can especially delight them with an extra gentle Frozen shower gel.
Corine de Farme’s tips for using your shower gel properly
What could be more pleasant than stepping into the shower to enjoy the divine scent, creaminess, and benefits of your favorite shower gel? Nothing (especially on Sunday morning).
Also, make sure not to use water that is too hot, as it could dry out and irritate your skin. Apply a reasonable amount of shower gel to wet skin and massage for a long time until you get a generous lather. A glove or natural sponge can be used to stimulate microcirculation.
Finally, rinse your body thoroughly with clear water, dry yourself vigorously, and apply a moisturizing cream or oil to finish.
Many more tips are available on our blog. For example, we introduce the neutral pH soap-free shower gel as well as all the moisturizing benefits of a shower gel!
