Shower Gel

I've ordered some L'Occitane verbena for myself, thought it might be invigorating and wake me up a bit.

However, I haven't opened it yet as I started using soap when I ran out.

SOAP! I hear you cry?
It's a very large tablet of Goat's Milk soap from some company in Somerset and it's lovely.

I used to love the Molton Brown ginseng too, but I’m now using Coastal cypress which has turned into a new favourite. I really like Jo Malone lime basil but it’s a bit pricey so drop hints to my daughters when it’s my birthday

Using Molten Brown Bizarre Brandy at the moment.
Like Greyduster all my family buy it for me as they know I love it.
The shampoo and conditioner is also very good.
I also like Original Source Lime which is more refreshing after a hot summer day.

I used to use anything at all but over the last year have been using a Dove shower gel, it lasts ages, and is quite moisturizing, which is all I ask tbh. I use a natural sponge, which makes it go even further.

I used to buy Molton Brown which is so nice, and the little freebie bottles are great for guests.

During lockdown there arn’t guests and I have decided to use only soap in shower and handbasins, to reduce plastic. Dove soap is nice and I think is more moisturising than shower gel.

I can only use Nivea or Johnsons baby gel.

I love Molton Brown, and people know I love Molton Brown. Consequently I have enough to open a shop! Rosa Absolute is my favourite, with Vetiver and Grapefruit and Fiery Pink Peppercorn following closely. I used to really like Ginseng and Ginger but they don’t seem to do it anymore.

Whatever is on offer ?
Usually a moisturising one

The only one I use, since I’m more of a soap person, is the Badedas 3 in 1 - shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, which I do really like. It’s very handy if I’m going away for a couple of nights. (Though not lately, obviously.)

I'm on my second 400ml bottle of Maja which I love as an all over shower gel including my hair. So fresh with that reminder of Spain when I also used it there on holiday.

oh darn it, you know what I mean?

Milton grrr

Milton Brown and Inis with cheap stuff to clean my feet. I have plans to purchase L’Occitane after buying soap for my daughter and hiding it in my bedside drawer where I can still smell it occasionally.

Same here I love and use l’Occitane (if I don’t spoil myself now I’ll never will) but DH can only use Sanex for sensitive skin, as everything else makes him itch!

Ooo yes, another vote for L'Occitane verbena here. And pivoine flora.

I tend to have whichever is on offer in the supermarket. Usually Radox for £1. I like the lavender one best. I shower daily and a bottle lasts about 2 weeks.

Trivia is a great idea. It would save perhaps people being censured for getting upset about minor things
I’m a bit of a cheapskate with shower gel but always have a sponge. This thread has inspired me to buy some nicer gel!

I don’t use soap as it’s too drying for my skin, I always feel that it’s left a residue. My favourite shower gel at the moment is Decleor, which my daughter gave me for Christmas. If I’m buying it, I like the Sanctuary one that has the moisturizing oil in it.

Xanax and soap just fine for me.

Original Source lime. I LOVE the smell of lime, but it is a hard one to find. So although this gel isn't particularly luxurious, I LOVE the smell. SO invigorating and the scent does linger post shower, too. Win, win as far as I am concerned!

I use Radox for sensitive skin. I used to use block soap but my skin is very dry and it made it even drier.

One of my daughters bought me some shower gel at Christmas which I use in the bath. It was from The Somerset Toiletry Co. and they seem fairly ethical. The one I like (Neroli and tangerine) reminds me of that scent of orange groves you get in the air in France and Spain........ . That one’s 1/2 price at the moment.

Soap here too. I love the TK Maxx Italian bricks, which last for ages, but used to cut them in half so as to avoid breaking a foot when they slip out of my hands.

Just recently though I've bought a box of Friendly soap and shampoo, which is so much better for the planet and made locally. The soaps are lovely but do tend to go soft quite quickly, so I use one of their soapsaver hessian bags now for the odds and ends. Sorted.

I am a bar of soap person too. Still have several I bought in TK Maxx , when it was open.

Another Molton Brown fan here. My favourite is Eucalyptus but I do use others from their range. Incidentally, I have recently become a fan of Verbena bars of soap from L’Occitaine, which I now use in the kitchen. They smell amazing and last for ages.
