BeautyHack editors tested the best shower gels, oils and creams and told what products are suitable for sensitive skin and protect against frost and blizzards.
Shower gel Eau D'Orange Verte Hands And Body Cleansing Gel, Hérmes
Tested by the senior editor of BeautyHack Karina Andreeva
I fell in love with the citrus scent, which, during use, spreads to the entire bathroom and remains on the skin for a long time! The shower gel with a very convenient dispenser (immediately dispenses the right amount of the product) foams perfectly, smells incredibly delicious and cleans the skin until it squeaks. I was afraid that it would not be suitable for the winter period, when the skin needs special hydration, but no: the product softens it, a couple of times I even did without lotion. As a bonus - aesthetic green packaging, which is good news. Delight!

Tranquility Shower Cream, [comfort zone]
Tested by BeautyHack editor Anastasia Speranskaya
This shower gel would fit perfectly into our previous home spa selection (you can find it here) - because it transforms your daily routine into a luxurious anti-stress ritual. It contains a special blend of essential oils of cedarwood, sweet orange, vetiver, sandalwood and damask rose, helping to calm down after a hard day.
Not without amaranth oil, a well-known anti-aging ingredient. Together, they not only relieve fatigue and tune in to a healthy sleep, but also make the skin silky - now I understand the girls from the advertising of shower products who enthusiastically stroke their skin.
Price: 2 700 rubles.
Delicate shower cream, Weleda
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Anastasia Lyagushkina
In winter, my skin becomes very sensitive and prone to irritation. Therefore, I decided to try the Weleda shower cream, which I have long treated with respect and trepidation.
The cream, as promised, very delicately cleanses the skin - it does not dry out at all, but moisturizes. The consistency of the product resembled liquid yogurt, and the aroma evoked associations with something sweet and creamy, but not sugary. The composition is very natural - without synthetic fragrances, dyes and preservatives, and almond oil is the active ingredient, which is ideal for sensitive skin. But do not expect a thick foam - the product does not contain soap, therefore it does not foam, but this does not affect cleansing. After a shower, the skin is very clean and soft, just like in childhood.
Price: 580 rub.
Shower gel Eau Dynamisante, Clarins
Tested by BeautyHack Editor Natalia Kapitsa
Clarins shower gel is ideal for winter: a creamy gentle product with the scent of oriental spices gently cleanses the skin without drying it out. The gel has a neutral pH - you can not be afraid of peeling and feeling of tightness. The main active ingredient is aloe extract with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. After using the product, a barely perceptible spicy aroma remains on the skin - it becomes smooth, elastic and velvety, so you can even do without a body cream.
Price: 720 rub.
Shower oil "Shea" Body Shower Oil, L'Occitane
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
Enriched with liquid shea butter, it gently cleanses the skin. The oil is very liquid, but do not worry - a special hole in the jar moderately doses the product and does not allow you to spill a drop by. The oil envelops the skin, creating a light invisible film on it, which helps to protect the skin from external aggressive influences.
He copes with moisturizing with a bang - after a shower, the skin does not require immediate application of cream or milk. A sweetish and subtle scent of shea remains on the skin, but does not mix with your perfume. For winter - what you need!
Price: 1 690 rub.
Shower oil "Lavender & Blackberry", Yves Rocher
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
In winter, I always choose oils instead of regular gels - they better moisturize and nourish the skin, which becomes very dry in winter. Yves Rocher oil pleasantly surprised me - it has a very pleasant and persistent lavender aroma with a light note of blackberry (it helps to wake up in the morning!). The product does not dry out and cleanses the skin well. The consistency of the oil resembles honey, and it moisturizes the skin as if honey were really in the composition. In the morning after a shower, I don't even use a moisturizer - and in winter it costs a lot!
Price: 249 rub.
Lipid-restoring cleansing cream-gel for face and body Lipikar Syndet AP +, La Roche-Posay
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
Thanks to its gentle formula, La Roche-Posay's universal remedy is suitable even for babies, but the fact that it can be used to cleanse both face and body is a definite bonus. They contain shea butter, niamycin and a special ingredient that is suitable even for atopic skin, all of which help the skin to restore and strengthen the protective barrier.
The product is very soft, pleasant and without harsh fragrances - already in the shower you begin to feel how the skin becomes more hydrated and tender. I was separately pleased with the lack of feeling of a film on the body, and after the Moscow water, I also felt tightness - with this cream-gel the problem evaporated without a trace. Owners of sensitive and dry skin should definitely take note of this remedy.
Price: 854 rub.
Moisturizing shower gel "Kuril tea", Natura Siberica
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Anastasia Lyagushkina
The thick and viscous shower gel from Natura Siberica resembled lemon marmalade - either because of the vitamin C in the composition, or the association with tea worked. In fact, Kuril tea bears little resemblance to the drink we are used to - this plant grows in Russia and a huge number of healing properties are attributed to it.
The oil content in the shower gel helps to moisturize and nourish the skin, which is so important in winter. The product foams well and very delicately cleanses the skin - perfect for those whose skin becomes especially sensitive with the arrival of cold weather. A separate bonus is economical consumption, pressing the dispenser gives you the ideal amount of gel per application.
Price: 433 rub.
Moisturizing shower gel Soap Dodger Body Wash, Evo
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
In the Authentica Club salon, this product is called a "moisturizing gel piece". And I completely agree with this definition. If you love mountains of foam, then Body Wash is not for you. But it will appeal to those who do not care about the accompanying special effects, but need (just necessary!) Quick skin hydration and high-quality cleansing.
The gel from the Australian brand Evo practically does not foam (there are no sulfates and parabens in the composition), it is distributed over the body like milk, but it is well washed off and leaves a non-sticky moisturizing effect. The gel is viscous like soap, it also smells like it (except for aloe extract, there are no other "odorous" components). I like the idea when the detergent does not carry anything superfluous with it, but leaves only a feeling of cleanliness. It also has a very handy large dispenser.
Price: 1440 rub.
Moisturizing hyaluronic shower gel, Librederm
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
This gel has many advantages, the main of which is its composition. It does not contain a single gram of sulfates, which is perfect for the winter period - after all, any skin at this time becomes dry. The gel foams weakly (which is not surprising in the absence of sulfates), but this does not prevent it from cleansing the skin "to a creak." Hyaluronic acid deeply moisturizes the skin, keeping the skin's hydrobalance normal. I use it in the evenings and notice that the skin has become softer and smoother in a week. Coincidence? I think this is the merit of hyaluronic acid!
Price: 453 rub.
