As a woman, you desire soft, radiant skin and a gorgeous trail of fragrance surrounding you all day. Our innovative in shower moisturiser products are revolutionising our shower and body care experience. In-shower products are applied to wet skin and rinsed off under the shower. The result - beautifully nourished, velvety skin. One person wants to provide their body with intensive care under the shower, while another needs a splash of freshness to really wake up in the morning. Still others are looking for refreshment after a strenuous workout or want to save precious time when showering and moisturising their body. NIVEA has developed a shower gel to satisfy every one of these needs. Dr. Lily Talakoub, a board-certified dermatologist and fellow of the American Board of Dermatology, says shower oil is a soap-free cleanser made without a surfactant, which works like an emulsifier. Most are formulated with an ingredient that allows the oil to transform into a milky texture as soon as it hits water, and you can use it in lieu of soap or body wash. Though they may seem indulgent (and some are), they are also a handy tool in stopping dry, itchy skin before it starts, which is especially important during colder fall and winter months. Being pregnant might temporarily change your skin’s properties as hormones influence the body`s water balance and your skin will be stressed at its limits. Now, your skin has to achieve best performance. Higher levels of hormones and the stress of skin elongation might lead to a dry feeling of your skin. Choosing the NIVEA Body Cleansing product that is right for you should start with defining your own needs and wishes and then combining them with your favorite scents and the overall mood you want to get into! The cream shower products can be divided into the caring NIVEA Cream Shower Gels, the perfect caring companions for your day to day life, and the indulging NIVEA Cream Shower Gels, which have special fragrances to give additional pleasure moments and to guarantee luscious “me moments” plus care. If you long for a feeling of freshness then the transparent shower gels are the right products for you.

To ensure the best care, the complete NIVEA Body Cleansing range has very mild surfactants and its skin compatibility is dermatologically approved. Yes, generally NIVEA Shower products can be used for your hair as well, e.g. NIVEA Men Shower products are positioned to cleanse the body, face and hair. Here, the good performance on hair is approved in product-in-use tests by men. However, all our NIVEA Body Cleansing products are primarily developed to meet the requirements of your skin. You may think that when it comes to body cleansing products, there’s not much more than creams and gels. But within NIVEA’s product range, we offer so much more. The specialists at NIVEA are always looking for new, innovative textures and ingredients to deliver the results you’re searching for. So that’s why in our body cleansing range, we offer unique in-shower body lotions that can be used in the shower to save you time in the mornings while leaving your skin feeling completely soft and moisturized. And body cleansing mousses that have light-as-air textures to gently cleanse. Furthermore, we offer shower oils and creams with oil pearls to provide indulgently intensive moisture. Plus, our new addition to the body cleansing line is formulated with clay for a particularly deep and purifying cleanse. In addition to our body cleansing products with innovative twists, you’ll always find all the highly effective classics you know and love.

Instead of having to wait for your body wash product to foam, shower foam makes it happen straight away by the use of a pump. Like foaming face washes, foaming body wash is a bit more intense than gel versions and is said to give your skin a deeper clean.A small "squirt" (max. 30ml) in the water is sufficient, but the product can be individually dosed depending on the required intensity (e.g. amount of foam) of the product. Other than this, the main difference between the shower gel and foam is the consistency - the answer is in the name - body shower gels have a gel-like consistency, while the foam has a foamy one.When deciding which is better, it's just a question of preference, whichever feels more pleasant on your skin and gives you a more luxurious experience, that is the one for you.

Refrain from excessive bathing in very warm water as this will support the drying. Instead, experience the caring feeling of our NIVEA Body Cleansing products, e.g. the NIVEA Creme Care Shower, NIVEA Crème Soft Shower or the very mild NIVEA Sensitive Balance Shower with natural chamomile extract and bisabolol. We can also highly recommend you our NIVEA Natural Shower Oil with 55% natural oils, which will help to keep your skin flexible. To care the best way for your hair as well, we recommend our broad NIVEA Hair Care range which offers a various number of different shampoo products matching with different hair types. Especially longer, colored and/or damaged hair needs special care and therefore special ingredients. In such cases, we recommend e.g. the NIVEA Intense Repair Shampoo, the NIVEA Color Care & Protect Shampoo or the NIVEA Diamond Gloss Shampoo. Most products are pH skin neutral. In addition, a lot of products are developed to meet the needs of even drier skin types, like e.g. our NIVEA Supreme Touch Cream Shower with shea butter and macadamia oil or the NIVEA Crème Care Shower, containing oils and a pro-vitamin of the original NIVEA Creme. Special sensitive formulas are supplementary developed for the most sensitive skin to assure tailor-made soft cleansing and care, like the very mild NIVEA Sensitive Balance Shower with natural chamomile extract and bisabolol – with a mild and modern scent.Which NIVEA BODY cleansing products are best to be used when suffering from sensitive skin while being pregnant?

NIVEA’s revitalising shower gels smell wonderful, like a refreshing sea breezes, citrus or exotic fruits and flowers, making them the perfect way to start the day in a good mood. If you like to take long showers and wash away your stress under the soothing warm water, NIVEA’s gentle shower creams will do wonders for you and your body.

They provide your skin with extra intensive care, which is particularly advantageous for dry skin. Sensitive skin will benefit from a shower gel with natural camomile extract, while very dry skin should rely on extra-rich shower oils. With fine exfoliating particles that make the skin noticeably softer, a shower scrub has a cleansing and nourishing effect.

Maya, here! The Cut’s Beauty Director-at-large here with some added advice: What’s great about shower oils is that the formula is versatile enough to be used year-round, so it’s best suited for every season. However, if you’re prone to dry skin, you should definitely reach for this formula more during the summer and winter months. Why? Well, the harsh weather during that time of year tends to take an extra toll on dry skin types. Shower oils function as an occlusive, which means they create a protective barrier on the skin for added hydration. So during summer heat strokes, when your skin is dried out from sun exposure and chlorine during pool days, this barrier keeps dehydration at bay. And when you face all of the elements in brisk and cold winter months, shower oils replenish the skin with ample amounts of moisture when used daily. Men naturally want to give their skin optimum care in the shower. NIVEA MEN shower gels have distinctive masculine fragrances and formulas for healthy looking skin. Give a particularly fresh start to the day with an invigorating shower gel that contains menthol and smells of water mint. Special sports care showers are a real treat after a workout, thoroughly cleansing skin and hair and providing the body with renewed energy and long-lasting freshness at the same time. The transparent, beads-containing formulas combine freshness and care, because of the oil containing beads. If you prefer bathing, the NIVEA Cream Care Bath with the original NIVEA scent and its original caring ingredients could be your choice. Also for more specific needs (peeling, very dry or sensitive skin), NIVEA Body Cleansing provides the appropriate product . After that, it is now just a question of selecting the scent you like the most in the category of your choice.
