What are some lovely smelling but affordable body washes?

[Teadrinker11]

I need to stock up on some shower gels but I need to stay cheap - I've spent too much last year on luxurious and expensive body washes. What are some of your favourites but at a more cheap, affordable price?

I love the smell of Pears liquid soap or anything from Waitrose - bar soaps or shower gels. Imperial Leather white clouds and cashmere (?) is a lovely soft/warm smell.

I had a lovely surprise when I tried the latest varieties of Johnson's baby products, they all smell gorgeous and not especially baby-like and don't aggravate my eczema

Badedas shower gel - my all time favourite and makes both you and the bathroom smell divine. Costs about £2.50.

It's not the issue of where to store the soap ( I have a rubbery dimply soap dish to drain it) it's just I cannot keep a hold of it ! I need to pick it up at least three times . And if its a big bar of Neste Dante that bloody hurts if it lands on my foot !

You could try cutting the Nesti Dante soaps in half? My mitts are quite large, I wonder if this is a case of designing to a default male template 🙄

Radox pink grapefruit vote here too. It is beautiful. I have a very soft spot for their green one too altho I appreciate it smells a bit like a pine toilet cleaner to some (DH).

I've just discovered M&S Fragrance Society after getting a hand cream in their advent calendar.

Honest to God, they smell far more expensive than the price, Molton Brown quality for a fiver. And the sizes are much bigger.

My current favourite is orange and bergamot, but I'm planning to go through the range one at a time. ❤️

I agree about Faith in Nature's Lavender and Geranium. Under £4 on Amazon, and smells almost as good as Neal's Yard Lavender and Geranium which is 3-4 times more expensive. And it is so good for your body. Very gentle.

Nivea cashmere is absolutely lovely. My favourite and really cheap!

Also a fan of the lavender and geranium Faith in Nature and a lot of the Radox ones.

I never thought I'd recommend Bayliss and Harding as to me they were always the naff cheap Christmas gifts that noone wants ans pile up in charity shops... But I really like this range, and there is a pepper one that reminds me of Molton Brown. Also my absolute favourite is old school Dove Beauty Bar, cheap, plastic free, keeps skin soft, and I just never get tired of the smell of it.

I forgot to say those shower gels are usually £3 or less for a decent sized bottle.

I have a loofah mat for the soap - always dries well.

I really love the smell of Sanex purple one and it's nice for my skin. Quite often on offer.
