Just like not all skin types are the same, not all body washes are created for everybody to use. Odds are you’ve been using the same brand for years and while there’s no shame in that, have you ever considered which one is best suitable for your skin type? Yes, just like we choose face cleansers, moisturisers, serums and more according to our skin type, we need to pick a body wash that adds softness and moisture to our skin without stripping our skin.
And to help you understand which one works best for you, we’ve put together 8 organic body washes from Indian brands that you’ll love.
