Review: The Body Shop Festive Shower Gels

I’m not really one for buying things I don’t really need in the madness that is the New Year sales, however, this year I decided to stock up on one of my favourite bathroom staples from The Body Shop – shower gels.

I was very pleased to discover that the festive scented shower gel range at half price and as I have always found The Body Shop shower products excellent I scooped up one of each of the scents: frosted berries, spiced apple and vanilla chai each in attractive 250ml bottles.

The festive frosted berries shower gel is made with cranberry seed oil from North America which really helps it pack a punch when it comes to the aroma; you’ll be smelling the scent of juicy berries for a long time after use along with floral and praline undertones. The frosted berries shower gel, like the other two, is soap-free and the bold crimson gel creates a decent amount of lather when used with water.

The Christmassy Spiced Apple shower gel has been made with apple fruit extracts from the Alps and leaves the scent of cinnamon baked apples on the skin along with undertones of orange and flowers. It is free from harmful soaps and comes in a vibrant and festive green colour.

The vanilla chai gel is my favourite with a really satisfying blast of Madagascan vanilla, cardamon and star anise which leaves me feeling uplifted as well as clean. Again, this shower gel is soap-free and lathers up nicely.

I have found that the festive shower gels offer a bold and delicious scent which lifts my mood and prepares me for the day ahead. They all leave my skin feeling soft and clean without being dry which is important when you have sensitive skin like mine.

Overall I have really enjoyed using my sale finds; I wish they came in larger bottles! I am happy to award them 5 out of 5 stars.
