We’re all finally able to go beyond the four walls of our houses. However, there are still several measures we need to take. Aside from still practising physical distancing, we’re all encouraged to step up our personal hygiene by wearing face masks, frequently washing our hands, and showering immediately after any outdoor excursion. But be warned, too frequent showers can lead to skin damage especially if you’re using harsh body soaps. Luckily, there are a lot of moisturising body washes that deeply cleanse and nourish your skin at the same time. Get your loofahs ready, here are just a few that you can cop!
BEYOND Deep Moisture Shower Cream
SGD20/~USD14.34, 250ml (thefaceshop.com.sg)
Eco-friendly K-beauty brand BEYOND has a body wash range that uses natural, skin-friendly ingredients — such as flowers, herbs or a blend of the two — to keep your skin clean and soft. The Deep Moisture Shower Cream has the triple moisturising threat of olive extract, honey and milk, so you know you’ll be stepping out of the shower with baby-soft skin.
You can also use it when… you just really want a little pampering. Enough said!
LUX Soft Touch Body Wash

For a drugstore option, heed the call of the LUX Soft Touch Body Wash. Treat yourself to this super-moisturising body wash that holds the nourishing powers of silk protein extract, known to effectively lock in moisture into your skin. And that rich, floral scent? It’s thanks to the inviting aroma of French Rose.
Dr. Roebucks Straya Soothing Hand + Body Wash
SGD39/~USD27.97, 150 ml (sephora.sg)
But if you prefer lighter, almost unnoticeable scents in your body wash, the Dr. Roebucks Straya Soothing Hand + Body Wash might be the ideal match for you. Since it contains antioxidant-rich ingredients like aloe vera and green tea extract, this paraben-free option won’t strip your skin as you wash away the dirt, grime, and bacteria you’ve picked up while outside.
