Shower Gel

Whatever is on special offer.

I avoid shower gel to try and cut down on plastics. Another Pears soap fan here.

My GD (18) got me thinking when she censured me for using shampoo and shower gel in plastic bottles. She was using shampoo bars and soap instead. So I've taken to using soap and am using up what shampoo I have left before I start looking for the best shampoo bars.

I can highly recommend both Friendly and Gruum shampoo bars, anno. Though I’m in a soft water area and I’ve seen reviews saying that the bars don’t work as well with hard water.

I use a cheapy Tesco one, coconut at the moment.

DIL gave me some fancy hand made soaps for Christmas, currently using one of those in the shower, rosemary and sea salt, but disappointing though, hardly any lather with my scrunchie wash thing.

What a posh lot of ladies you seem to be. Molton brown! I must be a Cheapskate.

I use bars of soap usually, no particular brand, and my bath gel ( dont like showers) is often from the pound shop. That's me done.

Molton Brown, L’Occitane, Neal’s Yard, SBC, all beloved of me, but my very, very favourite is the Korres range, especially the lemon one.

Lovely gentle thread. Thank you opener. I'm a bar of soap girl myself.

I’m currently using ‘Faith in Nature’ hydrating coconut body wash, which I like for every day, but I am also a fan of Molten Brown, Decleor and L’Occitane, so intend to treat myself. We’re using natural soap bars for hand washing to save on plastic.

Molten Brown here, anything citrusy or Rhubarb and Rose. DH Likes Molten Brown too. I buy when they are on offer or in their sales. We find they last far longer than cheaper bottles. I had a problem with a delivery of Molten Brown before Christmas and their customer service are second to none. I cannot praise them enough.

Pears. I love the smell and have the liquid hand soap as well as the solid bar. Loved it as a child too. A lot of gels etc make me itch so very careful which I use.

Nuxe Prodigeux. shower oil, the smell is addictive and it leaves my skin feeling great.

Lasts ages. www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjIlPOC9aXuAhUxmVwKHX8fAJ4QFjAAegQICBAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fuk.nuxe.com%2Fbody-cleansers%2Fprodigieux-shower-oil-cleanses-and-leaves-a-satin-finish-with-delicate-fragrance-tube-200-ml&usg=AOvVaw0XEGEOAT5c0egq7IG_D1rw

I also use whatever is on offer.. Coconut is a favourite.

I do have several nice Molton Brown gels and moisturizers. Also L'occitane, but save them for special.. Foolish I know.

Perhaps I should get them out and use them.

Molton Brown, I buy it regularly and my family and friends buy it for me too. For Christmas my partner bought me a box with 12 small bottles of MB shower gel. So I am working my way through that. They are all different fragrances, so I try ones I wouldn’t normally buy.

I use their hand wash and hand lotion in both bathrooms/loos. Cypress and Sea Fennel is my current favourite. They last a very long time, so work out as good value for money.

It’s L’occitane almond shower oil for me - applied with one of those body mop things. Love the smell and quite moisturizing too. OH prefers a bar of tea tree oil soap.

Bar soap for me and I recently started using a bar shampoo from Lush in order to reduce plastic.

Another Occitane fan here. I love their Verveine shower gel. I've decided life's too short for cheap products so I have their Rose hand cream too. Also have Kew Gardens reed diffusers for lovely smells round the house. I hadn't realised how important delicious scents are to me.
I'm appreciating these things these days.

Bath and Body Works are my favourite. They aren’t cheap but last for ages and they have an amazing choice of fragrances. Just wish we had their stores over here.

Lovely ‘trivia’ thread Maw enjoyable and lighthearted. Some inspiration to try new stuff too!

Either L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil or Lavender or, if I'm feeling flush Neal's Yard Geranium & Orange. I do quite like Badidas too.

Xanax and soap just fine for me.

Me too, love benzos and a good soak, but I think that you may mean Sanex (apologies if otherwise )

I love Lush shower jelly and also when in France I bought some of these crèpes. They are small, smell lovely, leave your skin feeling good and no plastic. I just wish I’d bought more.

How very observant of you. Don’t need the benzos but I do enjoy a good soak in Sanex and enjoying a very nice Strawberry smelling soap. Can’t remember when I bought it but still smells very nice. ??.

I veer between soap and shower gel. Usually cheap, sometimes a little more expensive. At the moment I am using a calendula soap from a company called StableHouse.

I am trying to get rid of plastic bottles in the bathroom and am using up all the bars of soap. I'm only in there for a couple of .minutes so I'm not really bothered. Would welcome recommendations for when it runs out, though.
