Odds are good you have hyaluronic acid somewhere in your facial skin-care routine, especially if you have dry skin, but we often forget about the skin on our body when it comes to active ingredients. “I always say that skin care starts in the shower. And a great first step is incorporating a serum-infused body wash into your routine,” says Hamden, CT board-certified dermatologist Mona Gahara, MD.
“Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that helps attract and retain moisture in the skin. When included in a body wash, it supports the skin’s hydration barrier even after rinsing, leaving skin feeling soft, smooth and nourished,” says Dr. Gohara. To get your head-to-toe skin-care journey started, we rounded up the best hyaluronic acid-packed body washes for hydrated, healthy, glowing skin.
