While many invest in serums and moisturisers, the importance of the right shower gel is often overlooked—despite being the first step in skin health. Sanex’s new Skin Therapy Shower Range has been created to help our skin cope with the seasonal changes from cold winters to warmer spring/summers. Shifting temperatures, stronger UV exposure, and increased humidity can leave skin feeling sensitive, dehydrated, or unbalanced. Plus it doesn’t cost a fortune.

Skin specialist Dr. Emma Wedgeworth explains: “With seasonal changes, skin can become more reactive due to factors like UV exposure, air conditioning, and chlorine from pools. Warmer temperatures can cause excess oil production or dehydration, leading to breakouts, irritation, and dryness. While winter is known to challenge skin health, summer conditions can be just as demanding. That’s why adjusting your routine—including your shower gel—is key to maintaining balanced, healthy skin. Each product in Sanex’s Skin Therapy range has a hero ingredient that targets skin issues. Whether you’re prone to dryness, breakouts or irritation – there is something for everyone.”
