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 use Molton Brown shower gels, the Rosa Absolute is amazing and the Costal Cypress is so summery and fresh.

Molten Brown tobacco is divine!!! I bought for my husband but I adore it

The smell of this body wash from Haeckels is very strong in a good way. It’s difficult to describe but I found it uplifting during lockdown, as if adding a bit of colour to lockdown ‘greyhound days’ when every morning felt the same with not much to look forward to.

I'm looking for a shower gel that moisturises. Any suggestions?

Sakura7 · 31/07/2020 21:58

Rituals shower oil is lovely @IveSeenThings

Extracurricularfatigue · 31/07/2020 22:25

@diplodocusinermine, thanks. Annoyingly I have no access to TK Maxx! MiL sends me Italian soaps as presents but they are all floral.

@HarlanWillYouStopNamingNuts thanks for the suggestions but I’m trying to get away from shower gels. Does the Molton Brown come as soap too I wonder?

@VictoriaBun, it turns milky on contact with water, so should be ok.
@Extracurricularfatigue, sadly not. Would be amazing if MB had a bar soap version of each shower gel.

newreality1 · 01/08/2020 00:59

Original Source Hydrating Infusions are lovely especially the apple and melon and the pineapple and lemon.

IveSeenThings · 01/08/2020 01:25

Thank you @Sakura7

Whatwouldnanado · 01/08/2020 03:59

TK Maxx often have a good selection of bar soaps. I love lemon and olive oil.

BoreOfWhabylon · 01/08/2020 04:32

@Extracurricularfatigue

I second the L'Occitane Verbena soap - the Shea butter one. Also the Shea Butter Lavender soap. It's a refreshing lavender rather than a sweet one.

Huge 200G bars that last forever and very kind to skin. Make the bathroom smell lovely too.

M&S Ragdale Hall sleep range Lavender, absolutely gorgeous

SandysMam · 01/08/2020 06:49

Soap & Glory Clean on me is absolutely lovely, use a body puff for a good lather. It smells amazing and leaves skin fragrant and soft for hours. I use cheap bar soap for my armpits though otherwise I get BO Blush

MrsCrosbyNRTB · 01/08/2020 06:54

Palmolive Cashmere is my absolute favourite. We use a combo of shower gel and bar soap.

Lottapianos · 01/08/2020 08:04

People who use bar soap, do you use a puff or flannel or something, or just lather it in your hands?

Elemis British Botanical is lovely. I dont like the new packaging though

Bizzywater · 01/08/2020 08:08

Molton Brown pure milk soap. Fresh and lovely

Ginfordinner · 01/08/2020 08:12

Another bar soap user here. Imperial Leather and Dove are the ones I always go back to. You don't need anything other than your hands with soap.

Skyliner001 · 01/08/2020 08:14

Love body shop shower gels 😊

Helocariad · 01/08/2020 08:16

Another vote for Faith in Nature. Their lavender soap is beautiful and so is their tea tree range.

lotusbell · 01/08/2020 08:20

@Bizzywater, oooh I'd forgotten about that one, it's only small though isn't it, like a hand soap.
I love Lush Milky Bar soap, the scent is so comforting.
Burts Bees baby soap is good too.

lotusbell · 01/08/2020 08:21

@summersolstice43, Rosa Absolute going at the end of August, according to the website.

stringbean · 01/08/2020 08:28

I love the Petit Marseillais shower gels - especially the olive one - you can buy in supermarkets in France. I'm down to my last bottle and was hoping to head to France on holiday next week and, among other things, replenish my stock. Not sure if will happen now! I know you can buy them online and get them shipped, but it works out really ££.

Woodendollymix · 01/08/2020 08:35

Extracurricularfatigue, I was also going to say TKmaxx, just bought some fantastic lemon soaps from Italy, really pretty flowers imprinted on the top, £1.99
