For some reason the one thing I really resent spending money on is stuff to wash with in the shower. I think it\u2019s because the briefness of the relationship is made so explicit \u2014 you literally watch whatever you\u2019ve used go down the plughole within minutes. Maybe one day I\u2019ll just go back to a nice bar of soap.<\/p>\n

I do have requirements, though, especially now I live in a hard-water area. I need the product to be really emollient and I need it to feel like it\u2019s doing something useful for my skin. My go-to is Aveeno \u2014 so good at its job, so dependable, and what it lacks in glamour (which I quite like about it), it makes up for in efficacy. It leaves your skin feeling lovely, plus it\u2019s full of oaty goodness, a concept I find pleasingly wholesome. There are various versions \u2014 I usually default to the Skin Relief Body Wash (\u00a38.50), which is unscented. (Hooray! Why people use heavily chemically scented body wash, I will never understand. If you\u2019re going straight out, it\u2019s a sure-fire way of ruining whatever fragrance you\u2019re about to put on, for starters.)<\/p>\n

Anyway: no Aveeno when I was doing an emergency shop the other day \u2014 all my bathroom stuff is still in packing boxes, no idea where and at this point I am losing the will \u2014 but there was a load of Byoma. I like the brand, which is affordably priced, attractively packaged (stick some in a teenager\u2019s Christmas stocking, they\u2019ll like it), and which prides itself on how good it is at protecting your skin barrier, being efficient but non-aggressive and respecting the old biome. In this body-wash context, the cleansing agents \u2014 which are inevitably stripping \u2014 are balanced with various humectants and emollients as well as a prebiotic complex. I\u2019ve used, and really liked, the yellow one before, called Brightening Body Wash (\u00a312), which also has niacinamide and azelaic acid in it. Both of these help to even out skin tone and sort out dullness. It gave me really nice body skin (ew, what a phrase) all summer.<\/p>\n

But on this occasion I was just after something very hydrating, so I went for the more basic Hydrating Body Wash (\u00a312, cultbeauty.co.uk<\/a>), which has squalane and beta glucan in it, respectively an emollient and a humectant, as well as the brand\u2019s prebiotic concoction. <\/p>\n

\"Byoma<\/p>\n

There are no stripping things in the formula, or conversely any unnecessarily heavy oils in there. It\u2019s really nice to use and, more to the point, my skin felt amazing afterwards \u2014 much more amazing than I was expecting, like I\u2019d applied body lotion except with no stickiness. It was really smooth and soft and felt super-comfortable. I should also mention that there\u2019s an unfragranced Sensitive Skin Body Wash (\u00a312) in the range (which sounds like it sits on the bathroom shelf and cries if you don\u2019t use it), which has oats in it and gentler cleansing agents. Really good brand \u2014 I must write about its skincare sometime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2022 This article contains affiliate links that will earn us revenue For some reason the one thing I…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-357953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
