Shower gel is known for providing a luxurious and aromatic bathing experience. It helps to remove dirt, oil, and sweat from the skin, leaving it feeling clean and refreshed. There are numerous varieties of gels for shower, catering to different skin types and preferences. Some may focus on moisturizing, while others may have exfoliating properties.
Today, I am going to review 3 different shower gels from very known brands. Well I am more of a gel person and I love to use different colors, fruity and flowery. These are my top favorite gels – A thousand wishes, Japanese cherry blossom and Neutrogena.
Product Description :
A thousand wishes – A Thousand Wishes by Bath and Body Works is a highly popular and well-received shower gel, especially among influencers and individuals seeking a luxurious and fragrant bathing experience. Provides a luxurious and indulgent experience during use. This could be attributed to the formulation of the product, including moisturizing ingredients that leave the skin feeling nourished.
This include star fruit, quince, freesia, amber, sugared sandalwood and velvet musk.
It keeps smelling good all day, and I really love this body spray! Just one spray is enough, and it smells fantastic without being too strong.
Japanese cherry blossom – The Japanese Cherry Blossom gel gives off a festive vibe, and its fragrance is initially strong and intense during application. However, after the shower, the entire body carries a subtle and pleasant cherry flower scent as the fragrance becomes milder.
This floral scent is a lovely mix of cherry blossom, Asian pear, mimosa petals, jasmine, and sandalwood. It’s great for brunch dates, workdays, evenings out, and even relaxing at home.
Neutrogena’s – Neutrogena’s gel features a distinctive blend of pear and green tea fragrances. This gel effectively cleanses the skin with a luxurious lather, leaving it in improved condition—feeling softer, smoother, and genuinely refreshed. What’s great is that this cleanser, with its pear and green tea scent, won’t leave any heavy residue behind.
How to Use shower gel :
Dispense two to three pumps of your preferred gel onto a loofah, then begin lathering it all over your body. After just 4 to 5 seconds, it starts foaming up. As you bathe, the fragrance fills your bathroom with a fresh and fruity aroma. You’ll instantly notice your skin feeling smooth and soft.
The shelf life of these gels varies from 24 to 36 months.
Texture :
It has gel like texture with color and fragrance of the fruit or flower. The consistency is really nice, it is viscous, gel-like, not too thick but not too runny and gives a decent amount of lather. It thoroughly cleanses the skin without making it dry or stretchy. If used consistently, it helps with acne marks, so I am sure it will help reduce acne as well.
Packaging :
Comes with very fancy, attractive and travel friendly packaging. Gels are packaged in plastic bottles with flip caps, pump dispensers, or squeeze tubes for easy application.
Fragrance :
Often come in a broader array of scents, making them a popular choice for those who enjoy a fragrant shower experience. Bar soaps may also have scents, but the selection might be more limited.
