Lather Up! The Best Body Washes For Men In 2022

Harry’s Body Wash is one of the best body washes for men, as it’s loaded with skin-nourishing ingredients that leave your skin soft and moisturized. My favorite scent is Grove, the citrus notes are gentle but uplifting and warming nutmeg provides warmth to round out the notes. The scent stays on your body for quite a while, even through heavy activity like rock climbing. Both my partner and I loved using this wash and even with very different skin, it served us both well and neither of us smelled horrible after long days of climbing in the California desert or work days back in Portland.

The rich lather is nourishing and quite foamy, allowing a little bit of product to go a long way, especially if you use a loofah. Neither the Grove nor Woodlands smells are too masculine, so if you’re sharing your shower, you can both use the same product.

The NIVEA Men Deep Active Clean Body Wash is an old-school formula specifically designed to thoroughly cleanse the skin.

As for the scent, it’s fresh and clean, and Nivea promises it will last up to eight hours after use, leaving you feeling and smelling nice and clean for longer.
