Quick answer
If your skin itches after a shower, the body wash is the cause. Bar soap is usually the worst offender in winter.

If skin itches or feels tight within minutes of a shower, your cleanser is stripping too much.
1. Move from bar soap to a cream or oil body wash
Traditional bar soap has a high pH that damages the barrier. Winter is when this shows.
2. Shorter, cooler showers
Long hot showers feel wonderful in Dhaka's winter and are the single biggest cause of dry, itchy skin.
3. Pat dry, do not rub
4. Moisturize within three minutes
On damp skin. This is when it works.
5. Skip the loofah on dry skin
Physical scrubbing a dry, flaking body makes it flake more.
If the itch is severe
Intense itching with red, scaly patches may be eczema, which worsens sharply in dry months. That needs a doctor, not a richer wash.
