Wash Away The Sand
One of the things I hate about going to the beach is how horrible my skin feels afterwards. I feel dry and itchy and I can’t wait to get home to jump in the shower! Not just any body wash will get rid of that gross, beachy feeling my skin gets though. A good choice washing off that day at the beach is Caress Pure Embrace Body Washย because it’sย formulated with triple-silkening moisturizers that leave skin incredibly soft. Plus it smells light and summery because of it’s yummy blend ofย white peach and silk blossom. If my skin is really bad from the beach and I need a little exfoliating action to slough away dry skin, then I like to useย something like Caress Evenly Gorgeous Body Wash with burnt brown sugar and karite butter.
