Luxurious Shower Wash

Hi All,
Would love recommendations for a really luxurious Shower/body wash? I normally use Dove and like the very thick/creamy texture but I've gone completely off the scent. I'm pregnant and like the idea of a splurge as a treat :) Thanks!

I like Korres, gorge fragrances, lathers up well and not hideously expensive

I love L’Occitaine Almond Shower oil. The smell is amazing

Nuggetnugget · 21/06/2021 22:02

Clarins is always good.

My favourite is the Rituals gel shower foam. Comes out like a gel (you have to shake the bottle, it’s pressurised) but really foams up. A little goes a long way! I think it’s about £8 and is a real luxury product for a great price.

I also love occitane almond shower oil, but it’s at least twice the price.

Also love Korres which is about the same price as the Rituals, but doesn’t go as far, IME.

WellTidy · 21/06/2021 22:07

All of the Rituals scents are lovely, but Sakura (cherry blossom) is my favourite.

Me too!

That Almond shower oil is fab!!

DGFB · 21/06/2021 22:10

I don’t find the Rituals scents long lasting but that Could be me. l’Occitaine, Jo Malone gels and oils and Elemis are my favourites

weebarra · 21/06/2021 22:11

Rituals Sakura
Nuxe Almond and orange flower

altforvarmt · 21/06/2021 22:13

I really like the Rituals range that smells of orange and cedarwood (Happy Buddha, I think). It smells divine.

CovidCorvid · 21/06/2021 22:16

I like Molton Brown. The purple one is my favourite…ylang ylang?

Ozanj · 21/06/2021 22:18

I like Ted Baker’s body washes. They’re really refreshing. The salt scrub from Sanctury is amazing too

evtheria · 21/06/2021 22:27

I also like Korres, and random Lush bars, but may I recommend you going to TKMaxx? They’ve lots of Cowshed in at the moment (and on their site), in massive bottles too.

TrixIrl · 21/06/2021 22:31

Wonderful suggestions everyone!!! Might treat myself to one a monthish as currently cocooning so not spending on socialising. Thank you!

The Hesperides Grapefruit one from Fresh. It's not cheap but a little goes a long way, the fragrance is amazing and lasts for ages. Also, it helped my nausea when I was pregnant. Weird but true.

Jasmine11 · 21/06/2021 22:35

I love the Neals Yard ones.

flossletsfloss · 21/06/2021 22:37

Espa brand is gorgeous!

BirdsandBeesmakinghay · 21/06/2021 22:43

I find they all dry out my skin and make me itch.

ScrambledSmegs · 21/06/2021 22:54

@BirdsandBeesmakinghay do you think it could be the SLS? I used to have a reaction to that so ended up using savon de Marseilles in the big blocks. The proper stuff has a really high olive oil content which I found soothed my skin.

Wolfiefan · 21/06/2021 22:56

@BirdsandBeesmakinghay I’m allergic to MI. Many people are and it’s in a lot of liquids. Shower gels included.

Lemon Sugar by Fresh, Shampure hand and body wash by Aveda and Eau Dynamisante by Clarins.

Lucachu · 22/06/2021 06:16

I stayed at the Corinthia hotel recently and they used ESPA toiletries. I loved the smell so much I bought some for home. I had the Bergamot one. Smells amazing!

L'Occitane - another vote! I am a bit over the almond ones so M exploring the other ranges. Osmanthus is lovely.
