Do you love or do you love your acids in facial skincare? We're talking lactic, salicylic, glycolic, hyaluronic, and mandelic acids: how did we ever live without them? With all the visible glow-up and clear-up the facial skincare acids delivered, it's no wonder the next up was the desire to drench all of ourselves in acid. Regardless of how morbid that might sound to some, the inescapable thought did present itself: if acids improve my face this much, then surely the rest of my skin will benefit in the same way.
There is now a shy, but consistent (and growing) selection of body products with acids, and for various skin needs or issues, be it dryness, acne, wrinkles, or hyperpigmentation; you can now shop across body exfoliators, body serums, body lotions, and — you guessed it — body cleansers. The variety of acids, like salicylic, glycolic, mandelic, hyaluronic, and lactic acid in these formulations brings its own set of benefits to the table — from gently exfoliating away dead skin cells to hydrating and plumping the skin.
But, who are acid body washes for? The answer: everyone! Whether you're battling stubborn acne, have sensitive skin, dealing with dry patches, or are just looking to maintain your skin's natural radiance, there's an acid body wash out there with your name on it. Plus, they're perfect for those of you looking to streamline your routines and prefer multitasking beauty products: you're sneaking in some effective, full-body skincare by simply showering.
