Regular soaps tend to irritate dry skin and cause itchiness in the skin because they strip the skin of all of its moisture. In case you want to avoid such an effect and want to nourish your skin while bathing, you should use soaps especially made for dry skin, or better still, a shower gel that is more effective in retaining the moisture of the skin. A shower gel or a body wash that is made for dry skin is normally creamy and comes with moisturizing agents like cocoa butter, avocados, milk cream or oils of olive or coconut. These shower gels help in cleansing your skin during every bath and replenishing the lost moisture in the skin. A bottle of shower gel will last you a good 2-3 months and can be a wise purchase if you want to get rid of dryness from soaps. To help you choose a shower gel for your dry skin, we have compiled a list of the best shower gels for dry skin in India. Take a look.
