I. Why is it necessary to choose the right shower gel for each skin type?

When choosing a shower gel, most people usually pay attention to the scent rather than the ingredients in the product. However, each person has their own skin structure and condition, so not all shower gels are suitable for all skin types. Underestimating the importance of choosing the right shower gel for the skin can cause an imbalance in the pH level of the skin, leading to loss of moisture and sometimes even skin irritation and damage.

SIGSCENT's 2-in-1 shampoo and body wash formula balances the pH level for the body.

II. Learn about each skin type to choose the right bath soap

2.1. Oily skin

Oily skin is a skin type where the sebaceous glands are overactive and difficult to control, causing dirt, oil, and bacteria to accumulate in the pores and leading to acne.

To combat this, it is best to choose a neutral shower gel with oil control properties or containing soothing ingredients such as peppermint, lavender, licorice, etc. Avoid fatty soap or products that contain a lot of moisturizing agents that can make skin oily. For safety, users should choose products that are clearly labeled "for oily skin."

2.2. Normal / Combination skin

2.3. Dry skin

Dry skin usually has poorly functioning sebaceous glands, and the moisture level under the skin is always low, making the skin rough, prone to cracks and peeling during cold weather, dryness or low humidity in the air. Therefore, shower gels for dry skin should contain fat, high moisture content, and many nutrients such as vitamins A, E, C, or extracts from olive oil, coconut oil, thyme, etc.

2.4. Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is very difficult to please and is prone to irritation if you choose the wrong product. Therefore, it is necessary to use a gentle and simple shower gel that is extracted from natural ingredients to take care of sensitive skin. Users should prioritize panthenol (provitamin B5) - a substance that soothes skin damage, suitable for sensitive skin.

SIGSCENT's 2-in-1 shampoo and body wash helps to limit skin irritation.

III. Notes on buying and using shower gel

Some tips when choosing and using shower gel:

Choose products that contain skin-soothing ingredients and avoid harsh detergents that can cause dryness or irritation.
Prefer products with natural fragrances instead of synthetic ones.
Pay attention to the origin of the product to avoid poor quality counterfeit products.
Choose shower gels with good medicinal properties, mild to moderate antibacterial properties, and especially those with a pH that is suitable for the skin.
If you experience dry, itchy skin while using the product, stop using it temporarily and consult a dermatologist.
