Shower Faves


Like most people i prefer to shower in the Summer than have hot baths, as they're quick, easy, and refreshing. So i thought i'd share with you some of my favourite products i like to use in and out the shower.
Starting with the Radox 'Coconut Kiss Shower Cream'. Coconut is my absolute favourite smell of all time. I hate the taste of coconut but the smell to me in divine. Apart from the gorgeous smell, the cream itself is very moisturizing and refreshing. Being only £1, the Radox shower creams are ones to try out. Especially if you're planning on going on holiday any time soon as they're smallish and lightweight to carry.

For hair i have been using Garnier Ultimate Blends 'Honey Bee Shampoo, Conditioner' and 'Strength Restorer'. I have my prom soon and i really want my hair to be in sparkly condition so i can flounce about without a care in the world and the worry of my hair looking dry and knotty. Bit of a weird exaggeration but i have been taking extra special care of my hair so it can grow. The honey bee scent is sweet but not overwelming, i am constantly getting compliments on how nice my hair smells which is a big confidence booster sometimes. Garnier do so many ultimate blend shampoo's etc for different hair types so they are defiantly worth checking out as they range for £3-£5 which is rather cheap for a high quality hair products.

My last in the shower product is the Soap and Glory 'Sugar Crush Body Scrub'. The perfect exfoliator for before shaving or removing fake tan. Body scrub are manly for people with what i call 'lizard legs' where your legs are rather scaly. However, the scrub is lightweight so rashes are not a problem, as some scrub can be really rough and if used to hard can hurt. For anyone not familiar with Soap and Glory products, they are very well known for there amazing scents. This scrub is brown sugar, lime, macadamia oil and almond oil. If you don't like sweet scents i wouldn't recommend this, but S&G have many other scented scrubs and products for you to try like the smoothie one. 

My last 3 products are my out the shower ones. Firstly i have raved about the Palmers 'Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Oil'. This is specifically designed for people with dry skin, you place it on wet skin (so as soon as you come out the shower) and pat dry with a towel. I originally brought it just for my legs as after shaving they can get pretty sore and dry sometimes, but when i started realising how much the dryness had cleared up i started using it all over. The smell is just incredible, again there's the theme of coconut, but mixed with soybeans to create a light scent.

Sometimes over the oil i will place my Nivea 'Rich Moisturizer' over area's i get the most dry so my legs, arms, mainly area's exposed to constant sun. This is just a simple deep moisturizing, lost lasting cream, with almond oil as it's scent which is lightweight and barely noticeable (if you prefer that kind of thing). In Boots at the moment there is an offer on all Nivea products so this moisturizer is only £5 for a 400ml bottle, which is massive may i just say. 

Lastly, my handbag body butter from Body Shop-The Coconut Body Butter. For a small pot like this it's £5 but for a large one is £13. I know Gabby (VelvetGh0st) raves about Body Shop's products as she adores the scents and how well each product works for her skin. I have to agree there scents are amazing. I'd never really ever been shopping there before but i heard great things about there new skincare stuff so popped in and i have been very impressed with it, so decided to go back and purchase a body butter. I thought i'd start small and see how i go. At the moment i am in love with it, i take it everywhere!
