At the moment, I'm using a Sanctuary one and it's just so nice.

What are your favourite shower or bath products?

I tend to like the Original Source ones. However, we recently had a client (work in health care) come in to us who used L’Occitane shower gel. I think it was called Verbena or Citrus Verbena, or something like that. Anyway it smelled like lemon meringue and was amazing, that’d be what I’d use if I could afford that kind of money for shower gel.

Plain old bar of Dove. Feel so much cleaner using soap than shower gel.

Original Source, vanilla and raspberry

Radox for men active fresh (?). Anything sea salty or minty or citrusy.

billybagpuss · 02/09/2018 18:27

I have issues with SLS so I'm current using Liz earl but not massively keen I think I prefer green company orange blossom. L'occitane hand soap is good though.

Neal's Yard Ylang Ylang & Jasmine shower gel - perfect as a treat and before bedtime.

M&S Rose shower gel.

Original Source Mint shower gel or Lavender & Tea Tree shower gel (latter good for relaxing evening shower)

Waitrose or Radox Chamomile bubble bath.

Waitrose Camomile and Vanilla - cheap and cheerful but smells amazing.

EmpressOfSpartacus · 02/09/2018 18:30

I get mine from www.wild-sage.co.uk

I like charcoal soap for my face, & cinnamon & shea butter for the shower.

DwangelaForever · 02/09/2018 18:34

I'm a big lover of Dove, it's all I ever buy and this is my ultimate favourite!! Haven't had it in a while and I've just bought it for my hospital bag for when I have my section in a few weeks Grin

Sanctuary! I started buying the original orange one when I was a student and haven’t stopped! (I’m now fast approaching 40!) I also like the pink one (sorry - no idea of the fragrance name) and they did a kind of yellowy one in the past that I liked but it’s gone now. Even when we lived in the US I used it - I stocked up when we were home and always spent my last remaining sterling in the boots in the airport for extra once we had gone through security!

Can’t find anything else I like as much

CherryPavlova · 02/09/2018 18:36

I prefer soap to slimy shower gels. L’Occitane peony soap is my usual.

FissionChips · 02/09/2018 18:36

Dove bar soap.

Xmasbaby11 · 02/09/2018 18:37

Also the sanctuary. Or the Body shop ones - currently Japanese cherry blossom. They both habe a strong fragrance and you don't need to use much so it lasts well.

Icklepup · 02/09/2018 18:40

Palmolive

n0ne · 02/09/2018 18:43

Dr Bronner, the orange one. Leaves you squeaky clean, smells amazing

condepetie · 02/09/2018 18:45

I loved the liquorice Original Source scrub but they discontinued it and nothing is similar :(

Processedpea · 02/09/2018 18:47

I like the she brand from tk maxx trying to find brands with no packaging atm and tempted by the lush naked range

MrsJMartintheFirst · 02/09/2018 18:49

Badedas shower gel and Outback Mate soap from Lush. I switch between the two 😃

Lordamighty · 02/09/2018 18:49

Molton Brown orange & bergamot.

scaryteacher · 02/09/2018 18:50

Crabtree and Evelyn Jojoba is my favourite, but expensive so I use the Body Shop Moringa in summer, and their honey in autumn/winter. I like a cinnamon one where I can get it as well. Shea butter is also a favourite.

Badedas for the bath every time.

TrickyKid · 02/09/2018 18:51

Olive tree, sultana of soap, out back mate and sandstone, all from Lush. Smell amazing, no packaging and last for ages.

haverhill · 02/09/2018 18:51

Soap all the way for me.
I like Pears especially the new green one, Floris or L’Occitane for a treat.

GrumpyOldMare · 02/09/2018 18:52

Imperial Leather bar soap. Not used anything else since I was a child at home.

KateMcD451 · 02/09/2018 18:54

Original Source, vanilla and raspberry

Another vote for this, love all Original Source though. Also love Imperial Leather Foamy Banana and the Love Hearts one, they smell so good!

WellTidy · 02/09/2018 18:55

Bar soap - little soap, pure rose geranium. £4 from Waitrose and it lasts ages. Comes in a cardboard box.
