The scenario: It’s time to stock up on body wash, but when you do a quick search online for your go-to pick, it’s out of stock across the board. You don’t want to make a trip to the store just for the sake of soap, so you order something you’ve never tried before. It doesn’t feel that different when you use it for the first time — body wash is just body wash, right? But soon, seemingly out of nowhere, you notice you start feeling very dry and itchy… all over your body, all the time.

If you’re experiencing that nagging allover itch right now, and maybe a little redness to pair with it, your body wash might contain allergens or irritants. It’s not uncommon for skin to get inflamed by certain products, so we asked dermatologists how you can tell if your body wash is the source of your irritation, what to do if it is, and what types of body washes and soaps you should be using instead.

How can I tell if I’m allergic to my body wash?

As dermatologist Mona Gohara points out, there’s a difference between skin issues that are caused by an allergic reaction and just plain irritation. “General signs of an allergy to a cleanser is inflamed, pink, scaly, [and] itchy skin,” she explains. “It can be localized to one area or generalized.”

Dermatologist Daniel Belkin further explains that allergic reactions to body washes are a little different than allergic reactions you might have to other beauty products. “Usually allergic contact dermatitis will present as a red, itchy rash at the site of exposure, but an allergy to body wash is an exception because body wash is used all over and washed off,” he explains. “It will, therefore, present as a patchy and diffused rash, probably sparing the face because most body wash is used from the neck down.”

According to Gohara and Belkin, allergies like this can develop at any time, even if you’ve been using the same wash or soap for years (skin is weird, y’all). If you suddenly start developing these types of rashes on your body and have never been diagnosed with an inflammation-based skin condition like eczema, you might be allergic to your body wash.
