Shower Gel for the gym.

I'm looking for a shower gel for use after a workout in the gym. I liked the sound of the calacus (zesty and limey) scented one from Lush but unfortunately its a little pricey :(.

Has anyone got any recommendations for a good uplifting shower gel that I can use after my workouts? I'm not looking to spend a fortune on it.

TIA

    Have you tried the Original Source ones. They are reasonably priced and very zingy. The mint one is actually quite tingly!

  • I second the recommendation for Original Source shower gels. Pure lime, lemon and tea tree, and mint and tea tree would all be great for post-gym showers.

    Poundland sells Original Source now, I bought a shea butter & honey one at the weekend and it's lovely. (they also had an almond-and-something one, and the mint one)

    treat yourself - it can be your reward at the end of a workout. It wouldn't be used as often as your everyday shower gels, so it should last longer anyway making the price less of a consideration

    I like the Tea Tree Origional Source one. I have eczema and wouldn't touch shower gels with a barge pole at one time (would only use emolients to wash with) but a friend introduced me to this stuff and promised it wouldn't irritate me and it doesn't, I am fine with it and its very refreshing. I think the tea tree and mint helps calm my skin.
