Sadly can't afford the likes of Molton Brown & White Company any more. Had been using radox but it seems to be half water with very little lather any more.

Share your favourites with me?

'Make' your own. I buy unfragranced shower gel in 5 litre bottles which I decant and I add essential oil to. My favourites are geranium and orange or jasmine and neroli. I do the same with hand soap.

Or Faith In Nature do 5 litre bottles which you can find on offer.

How many drops of essential oil do you use per litre?

Soap is a massive PITA in a hard water area. M&S own brand, Faith in Nature and the supermarket ones are all generally good.

Lidl have some wonderful Molton Brown dupes..Im. usig thr orange and bergamot at the moment..Smells pretty well like the real thing and foams ups.well..I think you need to use a bit more but given its about £2 is OK with me.

While you're at it invest in their rhubarb and rose hand wash..How I wish they did a shower gel version

I stopped using soap due to the scum it creates - shower gels are nowhere near as bad. Any suggestions to stop buildup?

Yeah, I love this one. Smells so clean.

I tried the Waitrose Pink Grapefruit shower gel to see how it compared to BodyShop ....it didn't . The Waitrose one was like washing with a watery strawberry jelly .
I like the BS ones if there's an offer on.
Otherwise Waitrose Camomile soap is lovely
Original Source huge bottles on offer , DD likes the mango one
DH finds most showergels irritate him but really likes the Method Simply Nourish , usually £6 but £4 at the moment for 530ml.

You could try M&S fragrance society shower gels - £7.50 for a huge 500ml and lots of MB dupes!

Aldi do knock off ones similar to the white company. They are in their luxury range for around £2.99 a bottle & it's gorgeous! It's called paradise.
They also do a lacura spa shower gel which is own brand also - 500ml.

Original mint or lemon source

Method do some nice shower gels - I like the green tea one - Sainsbury's sell them.

Also If you have a TK Maxx near you they often do Korres shower gel for £3 a bottle, the cedarwood one is lovely.
