Your fave shower gel?

[Snog]

Looking for some recommendations for lovely shower gels...which ones are your favourites?

For Christmas I received Molton Brown and L'Occitaine shower gels, which are always rated highly on here.

But I just don't see what the fuss is about now that i've tried several of the favourite ones on here. The price tags are so watching with interest.

I've switched to soap. I got a range of lovely ones for Christmas which I've started to work my way through. Currently on Kew coconut soap, which smells nice, doesn't dry my skin (any more than shower gel anyway) and is so far lasting for ages!

Loccitane almond shower oil is divine , but pricey so rarely get to buy it

I switched to soap ages ago. It lasts far longer than shower gel, and I feel cleaner and fresher for longer.

I get lovely ones from TK Maxx but I also like the smell of Dove (although I don’t feel as fresh after Dove as it’s not strictly soap).

I like the L'Occitane Amande oil, it's great if you've got dry skin, and their Verveine shower gel - lovely and citrus. Also like Body Shop Ginger, Original Source Lemon, and Arran Aromatics Citrus Shores - although I don't think they make it any more 😔

Australian Body Care tea tree, in a huge 1 litre size bottle. Lovely and fresh and does the whole family.

Glad to see some other soap users. Cheaper in the long run and there no need to use so much plastic just to wash There are some great small businesses handmaking beautiful soap.

Yes I like the idea of supporting small local businesses

We had this exact same thread within the past two weeks - sure there will be some great ideas on there.

I love Loccitane Amande. It last two bottles I’ve had it’s gone funny and separated, has any else had this happen? I’ve not bought it since because of that

Soap all the way for me! I switched to save on plastic and I’d never go back now, soap is so much nicer for feeling clean

@Tara336 I think I read somewhere that it can do this if the bottle gets too cold? Apparently it doesn't affect the quality though. Mine goes cloudy if I leave the bathroom window open 🥶 but always goes back to normal.

Has anyone tried the White Company stuff ?

@babysnowman thank you,maybe I’ll give it another go as I do like it

We use soap too. I get various faith in nature ones whic some shops sell totally package free, i like the aloe, lavender, coconut and tea tree ones. Also agree lots of local soap producers too.

Isn't soap supposed to be drying, especially for dry and eczema prone skin? Does anyone find it messy in the bathroom?

I'm only asking as I get tempted to try soap but the above things put me off - and I have eczema.

I've switched to soap. My skin is loads better and my armpits stay fresher for longer.

Love anything with lavender.

Cant decide, i love

Molton Brown Muddled Plum. Smell it on my skin all day.

I find soap much less drying than shower gel. Shower gel gives me eczema and thrush (lovely). Just get a soap tray for the shower, then its not messy at all. Am currently using olive oil soap from a friend in Greece - she makes it from her own olives. It's bloody amazing stuff, but obviously that's not much help for anyone else As mentioned before though, there are small business all over which sell hand made soap without SLS. My next one (picked up on holiday) is made from donkey milk!

I use soap. Switched a few years ago because it last so much longer so really economical but also no plastic. Olive oil or simple.

Also, I don't really like using anything perfumed on my bits!! I find underarms are fresher longer with soap.
