Learn how to use the Bom Dia Bright Clarifying AHA BHA Body Wash for smoother, brighter skin. Follow these steps to exfoliate without irritation.

Quick answer

Use the Bom Dia Bright Clarifying AHA BHA Body Wash 3–4 times per week on damp skin, lathering and leaving it on for 1–2 minutes before rinsing to allow the acids to work without over-exfoliating.

Why AHA and BHA matter for body care

AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) works on the skin's surface to loosen dead cells and improve texture, while BHA (beta hydroxy acid) penetrates pores to clear congestion. Together, they help smooth rough patches and even out tone. The Bom Dia Bright Clarifying AHA BHA Body Wash combines both, making it a dual-action exfoliant that's gentler than a standalone scrub because the acids are suspended in a wash-off formula.

Because it's a leave-on-for-a-minute cleanser rather than a traditional soap, you need to adjust your routine: don't use it with other exfoliating products on the same day, and always follow with sunscreen on exposed skin. The AHA makes skin more sensitive to UV, even if you rinse it off.

Step-by-step routine

Step 1: Wet your skin completely: Stand in a warm shower and wet your entire body. Damp skin helps the cleanser spread evenly and prevents the acids from concentrating in one spot.
Step 2: Apply a quarter-sized amount to a loofah or your hands: Squeeze about a quarter-sized amount of the body wash onto a damp loofah or directly into your palm. If using your hands, rub them together to create a light lather before applying. Using a loofah helps distribute the product evenly and provides mild physical exfoliation, but avoid scrubbing too hard—the acids are already doing the work.
Step 3: Massage onto skin for 1–2 minutes: Gently massage the lather onto your body using circular motions, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels. Leave the foam on your skin for 1–2 minutes so the AHA and BHA have time to work. Do not leave it on longer than 2 minutes. Over-exposure can cause stinging or redness, especially on sensitive areas like the neck or inner arms.
Step 4: Rinse thoroughly and pat dry: Rinse off all traces of the cleanser with warm water. Pat your skin dry with a towel—don't rub, as exfoliated skin is more delicate. If you feel any tingling after rinsing, it's normal for a few seconds. If it persists, reduce your frequency to 2 times per week.
Step 5: Follow with moisturizer and SPF: Apply a fragrance-free moisturizer or your regular body lotion while skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration. In the morning, apply sunscreen (SPF 30+) to any exposed areas, since AHA increases sun sensitivity. Skipping SPF on days you use an AHA body wash can lead to uneven tanning or sunburn, even if you showered hours earlier.
