Expensive shower gel

Mrs_Ryan

I adore L'Occitane shower gels- mum usually buys me shed loads at Christmas I also love the Jack Wills ladies' body washes. If I'm on a budget I like Body Shop mango shower gel.

If something is good for you , why can't you keep using that? I like this one Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Foaming Shower Gel

My skin hates me, i have found a few things I can wash with without making my eczema worse, none are eczema specific products!

L'occitane almond shower oil
Lomond plain soap bar
Jason gluten free body wash

I hsve developed an expensive shower gel habit since I started watching QVC.

I only use Molton Brown, Elemis and L'occitane.

Do I think my skin feels better , no I dont, do I smell nice, definately.

Skincare the same I use Elemis as my staple and my skin has never been so good.

I like Palmolive's Body Butter shower gel. Especially the chocolate one.

And Imperial Leather's Marshmallow and Battenburg ones...

With my Lush Rose Jam bubble bath, I smell like a dessert hahah!

And they're all SUPER affordable!

I have dry sensitive skin and really like both Palmolive and Imperial Leather. I have never had a reaction to either of them.

The expensive products are better for your skin thing is not always true depending on your skin type. I have sensitive skin and have actually had more reactions to expensive products than cheaper ones. I think one of the reasons is that I have problems with some essential oils and expensive ranges seem to use a lot of these. I think this is why Liz Earle's range was such a disaster for me.

I noticed tonight my elbows are soft & smooth. All my like like most people I've had slightly rough elbows, not awful just a little.
Now as I get even older, my skin is obviously in better nick.

So maybe there is something on using expensive toiletries.

I've never bothered with beauty products, I never moisturise anything, never have. I use cheapo shower gel, the most expensive ever is Original Source at £1/bottle.

I give my elbows a 0.5 second scrub as my cheap plastic bath scrubber thing goes over my elbows when rubbing all over with a splash of cheapo gel. Job done....

Just felt my elbows (not something it'd ever occur to me to do) - and they're really smooth and soft.... late 50s.

It must be luck/genetic.

I've started using the Faith In Nature shower gels, available from Holland and Barrett or can be found in TK Maxx/Home Sense cheaper.

They're really nice, and one bottle lasts me quite a while as you only need a drop at a time.

I use them too - often buy via Amazon or if I am in central London I go to Whole Foods. They smell fab, the chocolate one is gorgeous and the grapefruit and orange one is such a lovely zesty smell to perk you up in the morning.

The JASON products are very good. There's another very good make called Urtekram, which you can find in health food shops and independent grocers. I just bought a plain soap of theirs

I discovered a French product that is paraben free and soap free and smells wonderful it's got very boring packaging but I wouldn't be without it.
