Can I use shower gel on my face?
The problem with using a shower gel on your face is that although it will remove the visible dirt and grime, it will also strip off your skin’s natural oils meaning it loses its natural protection and moisture barrier so you’ll be more prone to damage and irritation. You can use a shower gel as a body wash, the process is same. But it might not be able to provide enough hydration and softness to your skin. So, we recommend choosing the option according to the weather and your skin type.Although shower gel and body wash generally accomplish the same task of cleansing skin from dirt, sweat, and dead skin cells, shower gels tend to be more aggressive products, which can overly dry out skin. Body washes, on the other hand, are typically more gentle, leading to increased moisturization results.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.
Is shower gel better than soap?
To some extent, yes! 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. Between shower gel vs body wash vs soap, bar soap generally tends to last longer. Bar soap is solid and tends to last through many uses, while shower gel and body wash are liquid and may be used up more quickly.
Is shower gel OK for hair?
Is it OK to use shower gel as shampoo? While you can technically use your shower gel to wash your hair, we really wouldn’t recommend it. At least not as a regular habit. Shower gels will clean your hair to a certain extent, but not as effectively as shampoo. The next time you find yourself in a bit of a hair pickle, remember that shower gel and shampoo are not interchangeable. At least not for regular use. While you can use shower gel as shampoo in an emergency, it won’t give your hair the deep cleanse and conditioning it needs and can leave it feeling dry.
