Can you use shampoo as body wash?

Shampoo is designed for the scalp and may not cleanse or hydrate the body effectively. For best results, use a dedicated body cleanser or shower gel that supports your skin’s natural balance.


How to use a body cleanser?

Apply to damp skin in the shower or bath. Massage your shower gel or body oil cleanser in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with a body moisturiser to seal in hydration.


Is body cleanser the same as body wash?

Yes, terms like body cleanser, shower gel, and body wash are often used interchangeably. Each gently cleanses the skin, and formulations vary in texture or added skincare benefits.


Does shower gel expire?

Yes, shower gel does expire. Most have a shelf life of 12 to 24 months after opening. Look for the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging. Over time, the fragrance and effectiveness may fade, and the formula could irritate the skin if it's too old. For the best experience, use your body wash within the recommended time and store it away from direct heat or sunlight.
