You probably put a lot of thought into what hair products you use to keep your locks looking fabulous, but if you don’t put the same time and effort into selecting your body wash, you could be missing out on brighter, smoother skin.

For the most part, it’s safe to use any type of body wash, but you won’t reap maximum benefits—and may even experience adverse effects—if you select the wrong one. (For example, those with acne-prone skin may experience breakouts if they use an ultra-hydrating option.)
