A liquid body cleanser is a good way to wash your body while showering or bathing. Most cleansers have a silky soft texture that feels good on the skin. Start by choosing a product that has natural oils and is free of fragrances or sulfates. You can then apply a small amount of washcloth with a loofah to exfoliate your skin and cleanse your body. Always moisturize your skin after using a body wash to keep your skin soft and hydrated.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Choosing a Body Cleanser

1. 1 Look for products that contain moisturizing ingredients. Check the ingredients on the cleanser label for moisturizing oils such as unrefined coconut oil or argan oil. Shea butter and regular coconut oil are also good for moisturizing the skin. A body cleanser with moisturizing ingredients will keep your skin soft and hydrated.
   • Avoid products that contain chemicals, additives, or harsh ingredients.
2. 2 Opt for a sulfate- and fragrance-free product. Body cleansers with fragrances and fragrances can dry out and irritate the skin. Sulfates such as sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate and cocamidopropyl betaine can remove the skin's natural protective layer. Stay away from cleansers that contain these ingredients.
3. 3 Avoid body cleansers that foam a lot. The foam that forms when you mix cleanser and water can wash off the skin's natural lubricant (sebum) and leave your skin very dry. Choose a product that lathers and lathers a little. Avoid products that generate a lot of foam when mixed with water.
   • You should also avoid products that advertise as "lather" as they will create a lot of lather when used.

Part 2 of 3: Apply the cleanser

1. 1 In the shower or bath, use a small amount of body cleanser. Squeeze out a coin-sized drop of product as it doesn't take a lot to wash your entire body.Do not use too much of the product at once, as this can irritate or dry the skin.
   • Take a warm shower or bath while using a cleanser to moisten and cleanse your entire body.
2. 2 Apply the cleanser to the body with a washcloth. Use a wet washcloth to apply the product from head to toe. Rub the loofah gently over your body to cleanse your skin and remove dead skin cells.
   • Do not use the body cleanser only with your hands, as it is much more difficult to wash your entire body this way.
   • Rinse your washcloth regularly to prevent germs and bacteria from building up on it. You can also change your washcloth once a week.
   • Do not use a loofah washcloth to apply the cleanser as it can harbor bacteria and germs, increasing the chance of acne.
3. 3 Do not use a body cleanser on your face. The body cleanser is only suitable for the body. For your face, use a special face cleanser. Using a body wash on your face can increase your risk of irritation and dry spots on your skin.
4. 4 Rinse off the cleanser with warm water. After washing your body with a cleanser, rinse it off with warm water from a shower or bath. Make sure to completely rinse the product off your skin. Soap residue on the skin can irritate and dry the skin.
5. 5 Pat your body dry. Use a clean towel to gently pat your body dry until it is completely dry. Do not rub your body dry as this can irritate your skin.

Part 3 of 3: Maintaining the correct mode

1. 1 Apply moisturizer after using cleanser. Keep your skin hydrated by applying moisturizer as soon as you dry after showering or bathing. This will trap moisture in the skin and avoid dry spots.
   • make sure you use a moisturizer that contains moisturizing ingredients: shea butter, coconut oil, and oats.
   • Apply moisturizer to areas that tend to dry out, such as knees, elbows, feet, and hands.
2. 2 If your current cleanser dries out your skin, change to a milder one. If you notice your body cleanser is causing dry spots or skin irritation, try switching to a sensitive skin cleaner. Look for a body cleanser that's more natural or moisturizing ingredients.
3. 3 Talk to a dermatologist if you have skin problems. If your skin becomes irritated, dry, or reddened after using a body cleanser, see your dermatologist for advice. You may be allergic to certain ingredients in the cleanser, or your skin is too sensitive to use regular soap.
   • A dermatologist may recommend a specific brand of soap or prescribe a prescription treatment for skin problems.

Tips

• For greater hygiene, choose gel instead of soap. Bacteria and germs can be found on the surface of a bar of soap.
