7 Organic Body Washes Perfect For Sensitive Skin

by Lindsey Rose Black

Cool weather often means dry skin, but there are ways to still feel squeaky clean without robbing your body of the oils it so desperately needs as temperatures start to wind down. If your skin is like mine (meaning crazy sensitive and dries out easily), I recommend exploring these organic body washes that are moisturizing, gentle, and work damn well. While each one has its own unique qualities, all of them standout as being rockstars for cleansing without drying.

Chapped lips in cool weather are unpleasant yet manageable, but rashes, itchy skin, and a flaky scalp on top of dry lips? No, thank you. At one point last year, my skin was getting so dry I was tempted to just cut hot showers and body wash cold turkey, but that resolution only lasted until I had to shower again. Fortunately, being willing to change up my body wash game (and reduce my shower temp and time as much as possible) kept my skin nourished and hydrated on even the coldest days.

Additionally, if you've yet to dive into the world of awesomely informative article Bustle writers have covered on coping with sensitive skin issues, do it! Learn about the common sensitive skin skincare mistakes you're making, the key tips for picking jewelry that won't irritate your skin, and under-the-radar sensitive skin beauty product heroes.

Wherever you are as fall emerges, make sure taking care of your beautiful skin is a priority!
