What is a Shower Gel?

I know-i know, it's not rocket science but I just want us to be more interactive. ' Shower gel (also shower cream or body wash) is a specialized liquid product used for cleaning the body during showers. Not to be confused with liquid soaps, shower gels, in fact, do not contain saponified oil. The shower gel is a derivative invention of the liquid soap, which first appeared in the 1800s. ; a definition that google has saved and displays in bold. But if I had to say it my way, I would say it is a more refined replacement of soap. By refined I mean better. Simple no, lol. Just like any other product shower gels also have categories.

Why You Should Replace Your Soap with Shower Gel

replace soap with shower gel

Shower gel or soaps, has always been a debatable topic, but slowly and steadily shower gel is making its way to the top. Even companies who originally made soaps and marketed it are now shifting to shower gels because of their efficiency and elegance.

There are several reasons as to why you should replace your soaps

1. Shower Gels have a more potent formulation

Shower gels are formulated in a way that they can easily combine essential oils, fragrances, and vitamins. When compared to soap what people keep most in mind is hygiene reasons. Remember details ad for germ kill hand wash, they compared a hand wash to a soap. They said continuous touching of soaps can be a hygiene concern. What I personally feel is that when you use soaps, the same one can not be used by another person, unlike shower gels.

2. Shower gels are compact

Shower gels are more helpful in terms of keeping your bathroom products away from common use and contamination. They are easily stored and give your bathroom a more rich look. Oops… sorry Mr. soap.

3. Aromatherapeutic Shower Gels

As demand is increasing, the competition in the market is also rising. Aromatherapeutic gels are enriched with special, floral, and effervescent compounds that cannot be packed into soaps. The fragrance exuded by these compounds is akin to scents being used for helping people relax in herbal saunas/baths.

4. Soaps Present a Greater Chance of Wastage

There is always the likelihood of losing some part of the soap due to moisture or when left in a wet soap-dish. In comparison, shower gels are without such hassles. it is easier to squeeze-out a more measured amount of gel.

5. Rinsing-off shower gels are easier

lesser time in the bath and still emerging more fragrant and refreshed. Soap bars are more likely to leave your skin dry and hence, more vulnerable to allergic reactions and developing itches. In comparison, shower gels tend to create a thin, invisible film on the skin that prevents eliminating too much moisture from the skin.

Now that we know why shower gels, let's jump to the point where we understand different ways in which we can use shower gel in a proper way

1. Choosing a Shower Gel

of course, choosing the correct shower gel is very important because each of them has different qualities, scents, benefits, and drawbacks. Some might even be better for certain types of skin than others.

2. Keep your skin type in mind

The type of shower gel that you choose plays a very important role in order to ensure maximum effect. Different skin types have different needs, so you might want to consider buying a shower gel that suits those needs. You may also consider buying a body wash instead, which has a thinner consistency than shower gel.

If you have dry skin, consider using a moisturizing body wash instead

If you have normal skin, then you are in luck and can use almost any time of shower gel you want.

If you have oily skin, then you can use most shower gels, but consider looking for ones with clarifying properties, or ones that have been designed specifically for your skin type.

3. Consider allergies and skin sensitivities

There are many things that might contribute to your allergic reactions, including perfumes and certain chemicals. When choosing a shower gel, consider something that is perfume-free, or made out of natural and organic materials. This may also be the case for you. Consider trying a shower gel that is SLS-free

4. Consider an exfoliating shower gel

Shower gels include exfoliants that help scrub away dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple. An exfoliating shower gel may include different types of organic abrasives, such as crushed walnut shells, fruit seeds, ground almonds, oatmeal, sea salt, and sugar. It may also include inorganic abrasives, such as micro beads. Studies have shown that micro beads, which are usually made from plastic, can be very harmful to the environment and ecosystem as they cannot be filtered out by water treatment systems

5. Choosing a Sponge

The shower gel comes in a fluid form, which means that it can't be simply massaged over your body. This section will show you the different things you can use to apply the shower gel to your skin and their benefits. Because of how porous they are, sponges produce great lather. They also tend to be gentle on the skin. There are two types of sponges: synthetic, plastic sponges, and natural sea sponges. Example: Synthetic sponges, Sea sponges are a natural product. They are mostly brown or tan in color
