Favourite Shower Gel?

I'm can't decide what to get. I used to buy Champneys Citrus Burst but they've changed it now. I really need something that is good for dry skin and like natural smelling scents that aren't too over powering. Would love to know what other people find good.

I love a shower gel.
My favourites are any bath and body works ones that have coconut in them
They are quite thick, and smell lovely

The French shower gels are amazing. My children have a cola Dop one.
I like la/le petit(e) maiseille one in orange blossom. The one Liz Earle does is lovely but the French one is about £3

I found a right guard one coconut water is surprisingly brilliant.

I always end up bringing back a shower gel or two from holiday, I guess it reminds me of being there
Children like the shower jellies from lush

Korres here too - I like the vanilla/cinnamon in winter, and the Santorini Vine in summer. If my skin gets dry I switch to the almond oil from L'Occitane.

Bodyshop Absinthe handwash (ok its not a showergel but its in a pump bottle) I love the cologne smell of it.

L'Occiane Almond Shower Oil , yes .

Bodyshop Pink Grapefruit

I don't have a favourite, depends on what I;m doing and how manky I am !

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 07/01/2017 01:02

I didn't like the Liz Earle Bodywash, it smelled like furniture polish Confused

Doobigetta · 07/01/2017 01:25

Savon de Marseille- Pamplemousse for summer and Figue for winter.

SugarLoveHeart · 07/01/2017 01:28

Badedas & Original Source Mint

chocaholic73 · 07/01/2017 14:58

wow ... this is brilliant ... now the question is which one do I choose!

I like L'Occitane shower gels, especially the Rose one.

Atomium · 07/01/2017 17:35

Another vote for original source mint for the mornings and Palmolive almond and milk.

hecallsmebunny · 07/01/2017 17:36

Yes to Blueberries. Smells lovely. No nasties. Whole family use it even the baby

HowardMoonsJazzTrumpet · 07/01/2017 17:37

Korres

thera · 07/01/2017 17:39

Korres fig for the smell

Elemis skin nourishing shower cream leaves my skin very soft

SuperFlyHigh · 07/01/2017 17:39

Good ideas here, I have a friend who goes to France to see her parents once a month and if I remember I ask her to bring back Le Petit Marseillaise for me, there's also a shop where I used to work that sells French stuff inc LPM so I've stocked up on that. Their hydrating shower gel is really good this time of year, £5.00 a bottle isn't too bad. On the strength of this thread I've bought some Clean on Me and considering getting the larger Philosophy pumpkin etc creams, really nice to use when it's cold.

For everyday I do tend to use something nice. I had a Korres pear and bergamot one that I struggled to use up.

Lambzig · 07/01/2017 17:49

Definitely the l'occitane almond oil. It is so lovely and lasts ages.

RemusLupinsChristmasMovie · 07/01/2017 18:26

Korres fans - if you have a Lloyds chemist near you, our local one was doing an offer today. Full size rose shower gel, Rose body milk, a lipbalm and a couple of skincare sample sachets, all for £9.

LockedOutOfMN · 07/01/2017 18:40

SuperFlyHigh La Petite Marsellaise shower gel costs 1€ in Spain and is often on special offer. Pop over and get a suitcase full! The honey hair mask conditioner in a pot is my favourite LPM product.

Excited to hear of the existence of fig scented shower gel; it's one of my favourite fragrances. Was disappointed to buy a fig candle before Christmas which smelled of...nothing.

trigger2 · 07/01/2017 18:54

E45 wash cream lol

bluesky · 07/01/2017 18:56

I love REN Rose, buy it when M&S have 20% off!

onthelevel · 07/01/2017 20:11

Korres,always available in Waitrose sometimes on special offer, fig one is devine.

toffee1000 · 08/01/2017 04:37

I love all the body shop ones I've tried and that's a fair few! Blush If you like citrussy they do a Satsuma one, not actually tried it but it smells lovely.

KoalaDownUnder · 08/01/2017 04:57

Neutrogena Rainbath.

auldfuckingspinster · 08/01/2017 05:52

Original Source Blue Ginger or Mango.

slinkysaluki · 08/01/2017 06:51

Tk maxx do large pump bottles of the French liquid hand and body soap for about 6 pounds its vegetable based which I like, anything else makes me itch. I also like loccitane verbena it smells like sherbet lemon sweets

LittleIda · 15/01/2017 22:11

I bought this set of Korres shower gels after reading this thread.
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01JS3L7FQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1484518098&sr=8-1&keywords=korres+shower+gel
It arrived today and I'm looking forward to trying it out. Annoyingly it was £10.20 when I bought it but is £8.00 now!

Patsy99 · 15/01/2017 23:15

Ooh . . looks lovely Ida. Love the guava myself but haven't tried all of those.
