Shower gel: test winners for every need

To optimally support the skin in all its functions, moisturizing shower gels and cleansing lotions are the perfect start. Which shower gel you choose depends on your individual skin needs and preferences. We have tested several products for you:

Solid shower gel

Our favorite product is the Solid Shower Care by Foamie, which is 100% plastic-free and available in different care varieties tailored to all skin types.

Shower gel for dry skin

The best shower gel ensures that the skin is sufficiently moisturized and does not dry out quickly after showering. Oil-based shower gels, such as Moroccanoil Shower Gel Fragrance Originale with argan oil, provide deep hydration. Those who tend to have dry skin, especially in winter, should choose Alcina Cashmere Shower Balm.

Shower gel for men: test winner

As a shower gel for men, we recommend Seb Man The Multitasker 3in1 Hair, Beard & Body Wash. This cleansing lotion with guarana extract gently cleanses both hair and skin.

Why you, as a man, shouldn’t use a regular shower gel as shampoo is explained in our blog “Men’s Shampoo: How to Find the Best Product for Men’s Hair.”

Fragrance-free shower gel

For intimate areas, extremely gentle cleansing is recommended. That’s why we suggest a fragrance-free shower gel such as Foamie Solid Intimate Wash Lotion with lactic acid and almond milk.

Replenishing shower gel

Replenishing shower gels are products that restore the moisture lost during showering, protecting the skin from drying out. Aquatadeus Shower Balm – A Fresh Start is a replenishing and particularly mild shower balm. In addition to Aquatadeus healing water, evening primrose oil, dexpanthenol, aloe vera, ginger extract, and vitamin E help maintain the skin’s moisture balance.

Biodegradable shower gel

The solid shower gels from Foamie are based on a mildly biodegradable syndet formula. The Foamie Solid Shower Gel Oat To Be Smooth has even been OECD tested and certified as easily biodegradable.

Exfoliating shower gels for silky-smooth skin

Exfoliating gels give the skin a rosy, youthful appearance and a soft, supple feel. With Nu Skin Liquid Body Lufra, dead skin cells and impurities are quickly removed.

Make your own shower gel

With natural soap, water, and vegetable oil, you can easily make your own shower gel. To do this, grate the soap and cook it on the stove with the other ingredients until everything is melted. Then add a bit of thickening agent until you reach the consistency of a shower gel. Homemade shower gels can be refined with essential oils, honey, and herbs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you wash your hair with shower gel?

Shower gels generally contain more replenishing ingredients designed for the skin. Those with oily hair should therefore never use shower gel as shampoo.
