To find the best body wash for you, we’ve listed some common ways a body wash can help you to pamper your skin and address its needs.

What Are You Looking for in a Body Wash?
Hydration

Hydration

Having dry skin is an issue that many can relate to. Throughout the winter months, skin can dry out. Or perhaps you live in a low-humidity climate where a lack of moisture takes a toll on your skin. This is where your body wash can come in handy. A hydrating body wash can clean without leaving skin feeling dry. The Dial® Spring Water® Refresh & RenewTM Body Wash and Dial® Coconut Water Refresh & RenewTM Body Wash offers hydrating and moisturizing power.

Exfoliation

While exfoliation might sound sophisticated, it’s actually a very simple process. Exfoliation is the process of removing dull dry skin and allowing new skin cells to replace them. This process can also extract any dirt or particles that your routine cleanser can’t quite reach. With the help of delicate exfoliating scrubbers, Dial® Himalayan Salt Exfoliate & RestoreTM Body Wash leaves skin feeling unbelievably soft, smooth and refreshed. This body wash gently cleans and purifies and reveals the skin’s natural radiance. NEW Dial® Cocoa Butter & Orange Extract Exfoliate & RestoreTM Body Wash reveals visibly smoother skin in just one shower.

Exfoliation

Hypoallergenic

Those with sensitive skin know the importance of finding products that soothe their skin rather than irritate it. A hypoallergenic body wash can be free from chemicals and ingredients that may trigger reactions on the skin. Dial® Healthy & SensitiveTM Body Wash is dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, and free from dyes, parabens, phthalates, and silicones. Dial® Aloe Scent Healthy & SensitiveTM Body Wash gently cleans and is for all skin types. It leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
