What kind of skin would you say it's suitable for? my skin is really dry, specially at this time of the year. I get loads of spots around my chin (I'm 27 - it's a bit embarrasing!) and don't have a specific cleanser, I tend to just buy whatevers on offer! Don't know why but when I looked at this I though it might dry my skin out more lol think it's cos of the acid/citrusy fruit. What do you both think as users? Coul be another thing to get with my groupon coupon lol

Try the Shea shower gel, it's fantastic, nice and thick and moisturising and I love the smell (not too strong, nice and clean, not too synthetic smelling).

Edit: for your face try the BS tea tree foaming facial wash - really nice and gentle as well - and the vitamin e moisturiser, it really is fantastic.
I wouldn't recommend the BS tea tree facial scrub, I don't find it scrubby enough and the consistancy a little too waxy.

It doesn't dry my skin out, it just leaves it feeling quite nice and fresh.

BS tea tree range is good for spots etc...

The foam cleanser is good.

Thanks guys, I like tea tree stuff so think I'll get one of the TT foaming ones and the passion fruit one too to see which one suits best. I've got £18 free from th groupon thing, can't think of a better time to try them out! Better to get 1st hand advice for this kind of thing, the shops own reviews aren't always the most impartial......... lol

I have more of an oily skin type and get spots round my chin occasionally too but think this would suit you as it is quite gentle. I do sometimes feel my skin get tight if I dont moisturise straight away after using this but I think my skin is the same with any cleanser really. When I started using this regularly I felt there was a reduction in the amount of spots I was getting. If I were you I'd buy it, then if it doesnt suit your skin use it as a body wash coz it smells so gorgeous!:D

When in store try out the vitamin e facial moisturiser, it really is super. I have used lots of very expensive ones (lancome, dior, clarins, clinique etc) and it is in my top 2, the other being Elemis marine cream which is about £40 for the same sized pot! It's a real gem.

Wish Body Shop would bring back the non minty toothpaste they used to do in the mid 80's - it was kind of herby -but nice!

I wish they would bring back their Milk Bar, it was a pink bar of soap & lovely:)

IMO the vitamin E cleanser and toner is the best, (chin spots are usually hormone related apparantly;)).

I'm using this just now and it's really good for problem skin.

I'm a recent convert to the vitamin E stuff, I got the free handcream with my last order and it's lovely! But that's all I've tried so far. For my face I only used to use Nivea - the blue tubs - a nice thick cream. Then I went on holiday and forgot it and all I had that was along the same lines was Palmers cocoa butter so I used that and that's all I've used since last October (stocked up during the supersrug £10 glitch lol). My face gets really tight and dry if I don't use a good cream. Can't hurt to use try the vitamin e face cream though Thanks again!! You guys are gonna have this coupon spent for me lol
