What is difference between shower gel and shower cream?
Shower creams – best for dry skin and/or sensitive skin as the moisturising properties will help to nourish dry areas and soothe irritation. Shower gel – best for oily skin; some of the moisturising agents in shower creams could be too heavy for oily skin and clog pores more. Think of it like this: shower cream is like a moisturizer you use in the shower. It’s creamy, hydrating, and leaves your skin feeling soft. Body wash, on the other hand, is like a gentle soap. It’s lighter, often comes in a gel or liquid form, and focuses more on getting your skin super clean.Most people think that using shower gel daily can make your skin dry. However, shower gel is gentle, mild, and ph balances, so you can use it twice daily or more. Another misconception about shower gel is that it causes acne.Shower gels definitely have better consistency and texture than soap bars and also have a rich fragrance. Both are suitable for normal to oily skin.

Is shower gel good or bad?
Shower gels are notorious for leaving a weird, filmy residue behind on your skin. This is because of their added emollients and film-forming agents. While they may feel smooth and hydrating in the moment, they don’t always wash off completely. This can cause clogged pores and trap bacteria on the skin. Don’t use soaps or shower gel, including feminine hygiene products to cleanse your genitals. These products are often the leading cause of genital dryness, itching and irritation.
