Shower gel: The perfect choice for a pampering shower

Shower gel is one of the absolute beauty must-haves – regardless of gender, age, or your love for beauty. Showering is part of your daily skincare routine and is especially enjoyable when you have a pleasantly scented shower gel.

What is shower gel for?

Shower gel is a special cleanser for cleansing the skin in the shower. Its gel-like to liquid texture is specifically formulated for the body and removes dust, dirt, sebum, and sweat from the skin while you shower.

Shower gel for different skin needs

But not all shower gels are created equal. Just like your facial skin, your body skin can be prone to dryness or blemishes.

For example, a rich, moisturizing shower gel is the ideal choice for you if you tend to have dry skin. It's especially worthwhile to choose an oil-based shower gel formula in winter or if you shave regularly.

If you are prone to pimples and blemishes on your back, décolleté or bottom, a peeling product with ingredients specifically formulated for blemishes is the perfect choice for you.

The perfect shower gel formula for you

Shower gels can also differ in texture and address different needs.

• Shower gel is the classic form and gets its name from its gel-like texture, which foams pleasantly when it comes into contact with water. The formula gently cleanses and usually has a floral, fresh, or even fruity scent —perfect for a fresh start to the day. Those who prefer to shower in the evening may prefer a shower gel with lavender or vanilla.
• Shower oil is the perfect choice for dry skin. The oil content provides the skin with plenty of moisture. At the same time, the skin is gently cleansed without over-drying it.
• Shower foam is a fluffy mousse that glides super softly and easily over the skin. At the same time, it gently cleanses the skin.
• Cream shower has a milky, thick texture and provides your skin with wonderful moisture. Cream shower gels are therefore ideal for dry and sensitive skin.

Tips for great shower moments

It's getting hot in here

When showering, make sure the water temperature isn't too hot. Ideally, it should be between 34 and 36 degrees Celsius. Too hot will only dry out your skin unnecessarily, causing it to lose moisture.

Hot 'n Cold

Contrast showers are ideal for stimulating blood circulation and strengthening the immune system. It takes some effort, but offers many great benefits for your skin and your health.

Sponge it off

With a soft shower sponge, you can remove dead skin cells thanks to the gentle peeling effect and thus ensure silky-smooth skin.
