Experts Weigh In on the Great Bathing Debate

Those with sensitive skin can still bathe daily, but Akram says that they should be mindful of how long and what products they use. Avoid any harsh skin care products, especially with fragrance or anything that can irritate and strip skin. Steer clear of alcohol and parabens. Colloidal oatmeal and honey are great ingredients for sensitive types, according to Coppola. Cool water is also better.

Coppola suggests body washes and soaps with moisturizing creams, lanolin and glycerin for dry skin types. These ingredients help maintain skin's microbiome and lock in moisture.

It's important to not dry out oily skin. Akram says those with oily skin want a body cleanser that can remove excess oil without stripping skin of its natural emollients.

For acne-prone skin, body washes and body gels that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid are helpful for treating and cleansing skin.
