    No it’s not wrong! In fact, I’ve seen articles on beauty in women’s magazines recommending “a mild shampoo such as baby shampoo” when washing hair frequently or to avoid “over stripping natural oils” from the hair.

    I use Aveeno Daily Moisturising Body Wash in the shower because I have eczema. Although my GP prescribes ointments and creams, they don’t stretch to body wash on prescription. They say I can use the cream or ointment as a wash, but they both leave the shower very slippy so I just buy the Aveeno.
