ARRAN’s body washes are designed to nourish your skin and create unforgettable moments. Let’s guide you through how to use body wash the right way. How to use body wash: step by step Body wash instructions are simple yet essential for maximising its benefits. Follow these steps for a luxurious and effective cleansing routine. Step 1: Prep your skin Start by opening your pores. Use warm water – not too hot – to create the perfect temperature for your skin. Showering at the end of your routine is ideal, as it primes your skin for cleansing and helps to open your pores. Step 2: Choose the right amount So, how much body wash should you use? A coin-sized amount is usually enough, but adjust based on your preference and skin needs. ARRAN’s body washes are designed to be highly effective, so a little goes a long way. Step 3: Create a rich lather Work the body wash into a luxurious lather. Use your hands or tools like a loofah or sponge to enhance the foam and distribute it evenly across your skin. Step 4: Application tips Apply the lather gently, making sure that you cover all areas of your body while avoiding the face. Take your time to enjoy the aroma and calming effects of ARRAN’s body washes. Step 5: Rinse and pat dry After leaving the body wash on your skin for a few moments, allowing its nourishing ingredients to work, rinse thoroughly. Be sure to remove all product residue. Once out of the shower, pat your skin dry with a towel and follow up with a lotion to lock in moisture.

Yes, there is a difference between shower gel and body wash. Shower gels are thicker and more gel-like in consistency, making them ideal for a more robust cleanse. Body washes, on the other hand, are creamier and often more hydrating, perfect for daily use on dry or sensitive skin. Learn more about these differences here. Can I use body wash on my face? It is wise to refrain from using body wash on your face. Body wash is formulated specially for the skin on your body, which is less sensitive than facial skin. Using it on your face might cause dryness or irritation. We highly recommend that you stick to a cleanser specifically designed for facial care to ensure effective results. Can I use body wash daily? ARRAN’s body washes combine divine fragrances with gentle formulas, ideal for daily use. They cleanse effectively without stripping your skin’s natural oils. Infused with nourishing ingredients, they leave your skin feeling clean, refreshed, hydrated and soft, providing a luxurious skincare experience every day. When should you use body wash in the shower or bath? Use body wash at the end of your shower or bath. By this time, warm water has helped to open up your pores, allowing the product to deeply and effectively cleanse your skin. This final step ensures your skin feels fresh and revitalised. Are you supposed to wash off body wash? Yes, always be sure to rinse off body wash thoroughly to avoid residue that can cause irritation or dryness. Use warm water to ensure all products are removed, leaving your skin clean and refreshed. Proper rinsing helps your skin absorb post-shower hydration, keeping it soft, smooth, and ready for a quality lotion.
