In recent years, shampoos, conditioners, body scrubs, shaving oils, eucalyptus leaves, and even shower head filters have completely transformed the way we shower. It’s an experience, a getaway, an escape, a retreat. But it’s still a shower (!) and getting clean is usually the reason you’re in there.
Options for good body cleansers are abundant. There are formulas that are ultra-moisturizing, clarifying, scent-forward, and scent-free, just to name a few. Here, we’re sharing some body cleansers that address needs of all kinds, and will—most importantly—leave your skin feeling fresh and clean.
The Most Affordable
The Perfector Salicylic Acid Body Wash, Naturium, $21.99.
Naturium can truly do no wrong in our books. The science-baked, super affordable skin and body care brand that made its buzzy debut in the US and UK, has finally reached Canadian stores. Developed for all skin types, the Perfector Salicylic Acid Body Wash gently exfoliates the skin to help minimize clogged pores.
The ‘Like A Spa But At Home’
Geranium Leaf Cleanser, Aesop, $63.
This Aesop cleanser contains surfactants that work to gently remove your body’s dirt and oil without stripping its moisture. Meanwhile geranium, mandarin and bergamot create a fresh, citrusy scent that will make you feel like you’re at a five-star retreat.
The Most Moisturizing
