For most of us, picking out products to improve our skin’s appearance involves a lot of scrutiny over moisturizers, lotions, serums, face washes and toners. There is one very important skincare essential that we all use, yet somehow gets overlooked when looking for ways to improve our skin’s overall health and appearance: the body wash.
Body wash is arguably one of the most important skincare products because we use it so frequently and so widely over our skin. It is important to consider what goes into your body wash because it can play a big role in keeping skin moisturized, smooth and rejuvenated.
We spoke to Dr. Marnie Nussbaum, a dermatologist in New York City, to determine which body wash we should be using to fight dry skin in the winter.
The Best Body Wash, According To A Dermatologist
"One of my favorite winter skin products is Olay’s Ultra Moisture Moisturizing Body Wash,” Dr. Nussbaum told SheFinds. “Rather than cleansing and stripping the skin of its lipids, it contains proglycerin, a specially formulated molecule that works with petrolatum to pull moisture into the skin (10 layers deep!) but also locks it in.
“It has been proven to help the body increase its own natural moisturizing factors which are essential for winter skincare. Furthermore, the large surfactant lamellar molecules wipe away dirt without penetrating the skin and causing further dryness like other body washes. Not to mention I love the feel of the product and the sensorial experience of using it!"

Promising Reviews
“I received a sample of this product and used very last drop I get out of the bottle! As soon as a ran out, I went and bought the big bottle. I am on city water & it is chlorinated and not soft whatsoever - with every other body wash I has tried, I am left with the horrible wet dry feeling in the shower & I despise it. When I first tried this Olay Body Wash, I was immediately in love - 100 %, I felt like heaven had come in the shape of Olay body wash, I will never use any other brand of body wash again!” - Rachel B
