Try to use a product that displays all or most of its ingredients. In South Africa, manufacturers do not have to display any ingredient listing, so that may be a little difficult, but you are more than welcome to write to the manufacturer and request the information. If they won't give it to you, don't use the product. If you are a soap and water lover, try out a soap-free cleansing gel. The gel contains herbal foaming agents that can foam just as well as a bar of soap, without the dryness.
Men can also use cleansing gels to shave with.
This will help with the sensitivity that always accompanies shaving If you suffer with a dry skin, rather use a soap-free cream cleanser than a gel as you want to retain as much moisture as you can. Some people may feel that the cream does not cleanse as effectively as a gel, but this is not the case. If you have tried a cream cleanser and you still want foam, then add a tiny drop of gel to the cream and mix it together. This will give you a foamy cream cleanser that will retain essential moisture. If you have severe skin sensitivity or have been advised by your doctor not to soak in bath additives, then avoid this type of bath product altogether.
