To get rid of impurities on the skin, body washes are often pumped full of strong soaps and harsh chemicals.
These ingredients can cause irritation, especially when used on sensitive skin.
If you want to enjoy an effective cleanse without nasty side effects, opt for a soap-free body wash to do the job.
