Though cleansing is crucial to maintaining healthy skin, cleansers such as bar soap are often quite drying causing tight and itchy skin. Body wash formulas contain new moisturizing ingredients that bar soaps often lack. Also, bar soaps often have a very high pH, which temporarily alters the pH of your skin, leaving it feeling tight and dry. Cleanse with a body wash that deep cleans while maintaining your skin's natural moisture. Try: St. Ives® Whipped Silk Ultra Moisturizing Body Wash for intense moisture that leaves skin soft and supple. | | | | | | |
