If you have sensitive skin, you know that finding the right products for you can be difficult. You need the right skin care and makeup products that won't itch, irritate, or break your skin. When you find something that works, you're going to be sticking to this routine pretty strictly because you don't want to mess with a good cause.
My skin can be sensitive so I can relate to all of that. I broke out after doing a professional make-up beforehand. (To be honest, I felt bad for the makeup artist who spent so much time on my face.) And, without a doubt, there are certain times of the year (winter to be precise) when my skin feels particularly bad. Surprisingly, what I've had the most trouble with is finding personal care products that won't break out or irritate me. I vividly remember trying a new body wash when I was 12 and then breaking out into beehives. Ouch!
That incident happened over 20 years ago, and it taught me that when buying a new body wash or skin care product, you have to read the ingredients list very carefully. I think the simpler the list, the better. I try to avoid too many chemicals. I know synthetic fragrances are not my friends, and because I also have dry skin, I usually opt for products that moisturize and moisturize.
If you can relate to any of this, I've highlighted some of my favorite body washes that are safe for sensitive skin, as well as a few others highly rated.
If you have sensitive skin you know Aveeno is a brand to trust. His products are always gentle and hypoallergenic. This daily body wash gently cleanses the skin while relieving dryness and itching.
Vanicream is another brand that I rely on to treat my sensitive skin. Because of the simple formula, I use the brand's moisturizing skin cream almost every day. Vanicreams body wash is soap and oil-free and contains no dyes, fragrances, lanolin, parabens or formaldehyde.
If you're looking for something that is extremely moisturizing, you'll like La Roche-Posay's gentle body wash. It contains nourishing ingredients such as shea butter, prebiotic thermal water and niacinamide.
This body wash is soap, sulfate, and parabens free and is perfect for dry skin. It contains ceramides to restore the skin's barrier, and the gentle lathering formula doesn't slough off the skin.
A gel-like formula can feel so good on red, itchy, and irritated skin. This gel body wash has been specially developed for dry and sensitive skin and is gentle enough for everyday use.
Dove's body water consists of natural detergents and skin-natural ingredients so that the microbiome of your skin is not disturbed. The formula leaves your skin moist, soft and naturally clean.
You can use this hypoallergenic wash on both your body and your hair. It's good for all skin types including sensitive and acne prone skin. Antioxidants and citric acid in the product treat rashes and soothe the skin.
Another gel formula, Avènes cleanser, can be used on the body and face. It gently removes dirt and oil without peeling off the skin or upsetting pH levels. It also contains thermal water and zinc to soothe the skin.
This product says it's "Made for Everyone" and it's true – it's gentle enough for the whole family. Made from 95% natural ingredients, it's biodegradable, and contains aloe vera and soap tree extract to refresh your skin.
Weleda already produces ultra-nourishing creams, lotions and balms, so the bodywash is of course another highly recommended product. It soothes and softens the skin while protecting the skin barrier.
Popular skin care brand Drunk Elephant is also a great body cleanser that works well for sensitive skin types. It consists of passion fruit oil for moisturizing and soothing, an amino acid mixture to support the skin and a mild surfactant mixture to cleanse without drying out the skin.
While it was designed specifically for babies, this body wash will work for the whole family too. The formula does not contain phthalates, parabens, dyes, synthetic fragrances, formaldehyde dispensers or SLES. It won't dry out your skin either.
If you have dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin, this body wash should be a try. Coconut cleansers gently remove dirt and debris, and aloe vera juice and jojoba, sunflower, and apricot kernel oils help reduce redness and irritation.
This cruelty-free body wash is made with ingredients like essential oils, aloe vera gel and flaxseed oil to nourish, cleanse and refresh the skin. The delicate formula works well on sensitive skin.
Cetaphils detergent was specially developed for sensitive skin to soothe irritation. The nourishing ingredients include aloe vera, vitamin B5 and marigold flower extract. Next, 3 common mistakes that cause hyperpigmentation and the creams to fix them
