Will this shower gel leave my skin feeling squeaky clean or more moisturized? — "Macadamia & Avocado" Shower Gel, 280 ml - Organic Shop Natura Siberica

“Squeaky clean” usually describes the feeling after a very strong cleanser has removed all oils from the skin surface. This shower gel is formulated differently. It uses a mix of surfactants to lift away sweat, sunscreen residue and impurities, but it also contains organic macadamia oil, organic avocado oil and glycerin. These ingredients help reduce the feeling of dryness and leave the skin feeling smoother, more elastic and more supple after rinsing.

That does not mean it is a heavy or greasy body wash. The oils are included in a rinse-off formula, so they soften the outer layer of the skin without leaving a visible oily film. The result is a middle ground: skin is cleansed, but it does not feel tight or rough.

If you are used to a very basic body wash that leaves a bare, dry feeling, this gel may feel richer. It is particularly suited to normal, dry or seasonally dehydrated skin, and to times when you prefer a softer after-shower feel. As with any fragranced body wash, patch test first if your skin is sensitive to fragrance, avoid the eye area, and stop use if irritation occurs.
