How to Use Gentle Genius Body Wash for Barrier Care

Quick Answer

Use the Gentle Genius Barrier Care Replenishing Body Wash as step one of the Soak & Seal System. Apply to damp skin, lather gently, rinse, then immediately follow with the Wet Skin Moisturiser on wet skin to lock in hydration for up to 12 hours.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Gentle Genius Body Wash

1. Step 1: Wet your skin with warm water: Stand under the shower and let warm (not hot) water run over your body for a minute. This opens pores and softens the skin, making it ready for cleansing. Hot water can strip natural oils, so keep the temperature comfortable. Checkpoint: Water should feel warm, not scalding. If your skin turns red, it's too hot.
2. Step 2: Apply the body wash to damp skin: Squeeze a small amount of the Gentle Genius Barrier Care Replenishing Body Wash into your palm or a soft cloth. Massage it over your body in circular motions. It starts as a cream and transforms into a light foam. Focus on dry areas like elbows and knees. Common mistake: Using too much product. A quarter-sized amount is enough for your whole body.
3. Step 3: Rinse thoroughly: Rinse off all the foam with warm water. Make sure no residue remains, especially in skin folds. Pat your skin dry with a towel, but leave it slightly damp—do not rub dry. Checkpoint: Your skin should feel clean, not squeaky or tight. If it feels tight, the water may be too hot or you used too much product.
4. Step 4: Apply Wet Skin Moisturiser immediately: While your skin is still damp (within 2 minutes of rinsing), apply the Gentle Genius Wet Skin Moisturiser. Use a few pumps and spread it over your body. It absorbs quickly and locks in moisture for up to 12 hours. Common mistake: Drying off completely before moisturising. The whole point is to seal water into the skin, so don't towel dry first.
