I often feel tight and dry after showering — will this shower gel help?

If your skin feels tight and dry after washing, this shower gel's formula is built partly to address that sensation. It combines glycerin and glyceryl oleate, which help reduce the “just washed” dryness many people notice after bathing. The plant extracts also support this: Barbados cherry extract is described as refreshing and moisture-friendly, helping skin feel less tight after washing, while açaí extract contributes a softening effect, especially welcome if skin tends to feel rough on the arms, legs or shoulders.

Keep in mind that how you shower affects dryness just as much as the cleanser does. Hot water, long showers and harsh rubbing remove natural oils before you even reach for the gel. Try to use warm rather than hot water, keep bathing time moderate, and apply the gel onto already wet skin. Work it into a gentle foam, then rinse thoroughly. After the shower, pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing, and if you still feel tightness, apply a moisturizer while the skin is still slightly damp — this helps lock the moisture in. A small amount of the gel is usually enough; using extra does not improve cleansing or hydration and can leave a film that feels sticky.

This product is a cosmetic body wash for cleansing and skin comfort. It is not intended to treat dryness caused by medical skin conditions. If your skin remains itchy, flaky, or very uncomfortable despite using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer, a pharmacist or dermatologist can help you identify the cause.
