Body wash is usually creamier and more hydrating, while shower gel tends to feel lighter and foamier with stronger fragrance options. Bar soap may be the most economical option, but it can feel drying unless it’s a moisturizing bar. If you have dry or sensitive skin, look for gentle, hydrating or fragrance-free formulas.

Most people do best with exfoliating one to three times per week, depending on their skin sensitivity and the scrub’s grit. If you’re prone to irritation, start once a week and increase slowly. Avoid scrubbing right after you shave or on sunburned or irritated skin.

Look for glycerin, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, colloidal oatmeal and squalane. Fragrance-free and dye-free options are typically easier on reactive skin, and “barrier” language is a good sign.

Apply them on damp skin right after you bathe. Start with lotion for water-based hydration, then add oil to seal and finish with body butter if you need extra occlusion on very dry areas. If you don’t want to do multiple layers, lotion and a few drops of oil is a simple combo.

Natural deodorants help with odor, while antiperspirants reduce sweat, usually via aluminum salts. When switching, you may notice more sweating and a short adjustment period as you learn what works for your body. Applying the deodorant to clean, dry skin and then reapplying as needed will help your body acclimate.
