Should you use body wash on your face

You're in a rush to get out of the shower. You need a quick face wash. You glance over at your favorite Vitabath® Body Wash and wonder if you could save some time by simply slathering it on your face and rinsing. It's not a harsh bar of soap, after all. Should you use body wash on your face? Well, the answer depends on your skin.

First, how sensitive is your skin? If you're prone to breakouts or have eczema, you may want to stick to your tried-and-true facial cleanser.



If you don't have sensitive skin, however, keep in mind that y our face needs special care, and you should take care to do what feels best for your skin. There are many Vitabath lovers who have no trouble using our enriching body wash as a face wash in a pinch without any reactions — and that leads into the next question you should ask.

What type of body wash are you thinking of using on your face? Not all body washes were created equal. Some contain chemical dyes and artificial fragrances that could irritate the skin on your face where the rest of your body doesn't have any reaction whatsoever. Others contain drying ingredients that could remove natural oils that are important for elasticity, hydration, retention of moisture and protection against environmental pollutants. Your face is more sensitive than other areas of your skin, and it's exposed to the elements more often as well, so it's important to know what's in your body wash before you consider using it to wash your face.

Chemical dyes and artificial fragrances are not present in Vitabath Body Washes , which contain antioxidant-rich superfruits like mangosteen, coffee, noni, goji, green tea and pomegranate as well as Vitamins A, B3, C, E and provitamin B5. Our body washes also incorporate natural ingredients like fruit extract and essential oils for fragrance, so they won't irritate your skin.

After considering these questions, you may decide to use body wash on your face after all. We recommend doing so sparingly at first. Try it out on a small patch of skin near your ear and then watch to see if there are an adverse reactions. If not, go ahead and slather Vitabath Body Wash on your face anytime you'd like. If you do see any breakouts or undesirable effects on your skin, you'll want to stick to specifically formulated facial wash for your face, but you can still pamper your body with Vitabath body washes and shower gelées. They're designed to nourish and moisturize your skin for an allover healthy feeling.
