Which shower gel to choose for sensitive skin?

When you have more sensitive and irritable skin, everyone wonders which shower gel to choose to be gentle on your skin... In reality, the product chosen is not necessarily the only thing to pay attention to... other recommendations can help you regain your baby-soft skin.

Which shower gel to choose for a gentle cleanse?
Washing is essential, of course, but it can also be harmful. That's why it's better to choose shower gels with cleansing substances (surfactants) as gentle as possible. Indeed, from a skin health perspective, surfactants are the decisive element in any shampoo and shower product. For example, most conventional products found in supermarkets contain synthetic and harsh surfactants that can be tough on the skin. It is therefore better to carefully choose shower gels containing as many gentle surfactants as possible. Natural products are probably the safest, as they use a blend of gentle surfactants of plant origin. You will also notice that these natural products do not foam or foam very little, which is precisely a sign of their gentleness, as they clean just as well. Try it with your shower gel... If it foams heavily when you wash, it is likely too harsh for your sensitive skin.

How to use your shower gel effectively?
How to use it without harming your sensitive skin... In addition to carefully choosing your product and avoiding too harsh and aggressive surfactants, your skincare habits should be reconsidered. Indeed, we often use way too much product, but we also wash ourselves far too often! A small amount of product is more than enough to wash the entire body, at a maximum of once a day, which is more than sufficient!

Three main rules should then be followed: minimize the use of harsh and aggressive surfactants, choose your shower gel accordingly, and also use little product, with one shower per day.
