In the past, I haven’t been a big fan of drugstore body washes. Back in the day when body washes were a new thing, they tended to be rather drying to my skin and I rarely liked the scents. Since that was 10+ years ago, it goes without saying that the market has changed a bit since then. Now, I’m finding plenty of good body washes at the drugstore/supermarket that combine a nice formula with a nice scent and an even nicer budget price. For the win!

Softsoap offers up two new body washes, called Nutri-Serums. They contain softening “Serum Pearls” that help keep skin nourished and healthy. The Restoring formula has Vitamin E and the Moisture Retaining formula features Omegas 3 & 6 (those essential fatty acids that help your skin retain moisture). I like the body washes because they aren’t drying to my skin at all. In fact, they leave my skin with the same soft, comfortable feeling left by more expensive brands. The lather is rich and foamy, but rinses clean.

Both formulas have a somewhat sweet, fruity scent, and I find I prefer the Restoring (the one with green pearls) to the Moisture Retaining. The scents aren’t the best ever, but for a large bottle of body wash for under five bucks, I’m not complaining. They smell nice while I’m in the shower but don’t particularly linger (which is exactly what I want). No clashing with perfume here.

Overall, I believe it’s definitely worth checking out Softsoap brand body washes, especially if you are looking for places to trim your beauty budget without sacrificing a happy experience in your morning shower. My morning shower is sacred, so whatever cleanser I’m using better feel and smell good or the day just doesn’t start out on a good note!
