A body wash to start the day right

I have been using l'occitane Almond shower oil all winter to moisturize my skin. I might rebuy it but, now it's easier to stand around naked waiting for moisturizer to sink in I'd also like something else to use.

I like fruity and zingy aromas but also like creamy moisturizing products (like the shower oil). I have smelt the dragon fruit Faith in Nature body wash and really like it but am wondering about other options.

What body wash starts your day right?

Do you really genuinely believe that the body wash you use determines how your day starts?

Yes I do. If I'm tired or dreading the day of work that's coming up or just feeling a bit meh then having a good shower and a nice cup of coffee really helps my positivity for the day ahead.

In the summer or warmer days than now I shower and then put baby oil on wet skin saves time drying off and putting moisturiser on.

No need for a comment like that, imagine taking the time out of your day to try and make someone else feel small and end up looking a dick

Clarins Tonic for me.

Yes. I always buy a soap with a new scent when travelling to Italy and bring a few bars home. My morning shower takes me back to my holiday happiness for a few minutes before a busy day.

The talk of soap and French products reminds me that I have an unopened bar of this verbena soap scenting my underwear drawer so will get that out and try that. If it is less drying than great.

I think I will also get either the Faith in Nature or the Argan+ Moroccan Rose as well so I can rotate. I used to have a thing for Yves Rocher Argan and Rose shower oil and brought bottles back from France till they stopped making it. I finished my last bottle about a fortnight ago which started me thinking I needed something new.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I like This Works Energy Bank shower gel. Last for ages as you only need a little bit. The scent is very uplifting.

Fresh Sugar Lychee is my current favourite

I love the loccitane verviene, zingy and the scent stays

Palmolive pampering shower oil macadamia. From Ocado I think on offer £1

Also like the M and S fragrance society.
Tried almond loccitanne but didn't suit me - have dry skin.
