What shower gels are you loving at the moment?

I love the Body Shop shower gels but not buying anything from them for JK Rowling related reasons. Please could you share which shower gels you currently love? I have dry skin that's not sensitive, and love a strong scent, not hugely bothered whether that's fruity / floral / spicy/ whatever. Ta!

I totally love rose jam shower gel from Lush! 2 years on from when I first tried it and it is still THE BEST.

L’Occitane almond shower oil is wonderful . Expensive but a little goes a long way and the fragrance lingers along with its moisturising .

Not shower gel, I switched to soap because of plastic packaging, but L’Occitane bergamot and jasmine soap.

Though also the cherry blossom shower gel from L'Occitane is also very nice.

E'Spa shower gel. Their shampoo & conditioner are lovely too

Palmolive is the best. Amazing quality for £1.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will try this when my almond oil is finished.

Another vote for L'Occitane Almond shower gel followed by the body oil.

Soap! So much better for the planet and there are some really lovely ones. I have a L'occitane lavender one on the go currently.

L’Occitane almond here too alternating with Korea’s Fig, like the lavender better but have run out. Planning on buying L’Occitane lavender when I run out. I have recently discovered more expensive shower gels and I don’t think I’ll go back.

I also love Body Shop shower gels and can’t give them up.
But l’occitaine are lovely as are any of the Elemis ones that come in the Elemis bundles on QVC

I went off Korres at Christmas when I had flu and felt like I was never properly clean, but I do love the lavender one pp mentioned. I decanted a fig one that was in the cupboard into the bathroom handwash dispenser last week.

I currently have a huge Palmolive shower cream, which is something like milk and honey, and. Soaper Duper coconut one waiting in the wings.

All the l'occitane ones especially the Shea butter one and the almond oil. I wait for discounts

Badedas all the way for me.

Except when someone buys me L'Occitane for birthdays and Christmas.

Another L'Occitane fangirl here! I'm currently using the Lavender one and it is DIVINE!
Whilst I hate to be the one talking about Christmas in July... they bring out an advent calendar every year with travel size shower gels/shampoo/moisturiser/hand creams/soaps etc. Because a little goes a long way it'll get you through at least 2-3 months and you can pick your favourite to buy in large size

Soaper Duper is lovely - either lemon or Pure Happiness (rose). Big bottles, plastic pump so that and the bottle are both recyclable, not expensive and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I bought some Aesop shower gels as a treat and while they’re nice, they’re no better than Soaper Duper.

L'occitaine almond here too! Smells lovely and leaves my skin so soft.

I'm the same re Body Shop.
I've just found a Nivea shower gel that smells exactly like the sun cream. Really fresh, a little goes a long way & just £1 in Wilko at the mo

Soap user here, am surprised that shower gel is so popular still, given there's a perfect alternative which doesn't come in a plastic container. L'Occitane or any olive oil soap.

I'm not spending more than £1 on shower gel. I like the ones that smell like sweeties by imperial leather

Any solid soap recommendations for someone who likes citrus/clean scents? I find many of them are too floral for me.
