Best Body Wash for Dry skin In India- Our Top 7 Picks!
Body washes are my favourite body care products after body lotions. I find myself biased towards body washes majorly because they are way milder than the soap bars. They freshen up the skin without ripping off skin’s moisture balance. In my opinion, the liquid body cleansers are more economic as each application needs only a dollop of product for the entire body.
In the winter months when there is a noticeable depletion in the moisture level of the skin, body washes becomes my rescuer. Here are our top 7 picks for the best body washes for dry skin easily available in India. Choose any one of these and they will give you a much more nourished and smooth skin and prevent dry skin! Let’s read on to know further.
Best Body Wash For Dry Skin In India
1. NIVEA Crème Care Shower Cream
Price: Rs.175 for 250ml buy here
Let’s start off with my absolute favourite shower essential by the old trusted Nivea. In my opinion, this Shower Cream is the cleanser counterpart of the original blue-tub Nivea Cream. This shower cream is basically a milky white thick liquid that smells exactly like the Nivea cream. It produces good amount of creamy froth that cleanses my skin thoroughly and I am left with soft and moisturized skin. At such an affordable price, this ph-balanced and dermatologist-approved shower cream is certainly one of the best body wash for dry skin on body.
2. Original Source Vanilla Milk & Raspberry Shower Gel
Price: Rs.299 for 250ml buy here
This is by far the best vanilla-scented body wash I had the chance to get acquainted with. The body wash is a thin creamy liquid shelf-packed in a squeeze bottle. The main constituents of this body wash are fruit extracts of Raspberry and Vanilla. Texture wise it is a thin shower cream that produces enough lather to cleanse the skin. It does not rip off all the moisture from the skin and does not leave any sticky residue over the skin either. So, I must give this 100% vegetarian product a big thumbs up☺!

3. Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Body Wash
Price: Rs.641 for 385ml buy here
Let me introduce you to a replenishing body cleanser from the widely appreciated hair-care brand Organix. Like one of their best-selling shampoo and conditioner, this one is also constituted with Moroccan Argan Oil.

It is a thick transparent liquid body wash with a mild pleasant smell and excellent skin nourishing properties.
