What's In My Shower

My daily shower is my mini pampering session ahead of the day, so I like to keep products in my shower that both do their job, as well as making me feel great. I like to switch up my products, so after using something up I will usually purchase another product within that brand (if I've enjoyed it) or an alternative, just to avoid using the same products over and over again. Here's a glimpse into what I keep in my shower.




Daily Products:
The products I use on a daily basis include The Body Shop's 'Satsuma Shower Gel.' I recently hauled this huge 750ml bottle, which I was given for Christmas. I've raved about this product on this blog numerous times as it is just so lovely and a real treat for the skin. The pump also makes it really handy as you don't have to fight with a lid when you have wet hands. I apply this onto my body with a Soap And Glory loofah, which makes the product foam up well, as well as giving my skin a slight exfoliation. You can purchase these individually or find them in most of their gift sets. I rotate them frequently as they do harbor bacteria. For haircare, I am currently using the Herbal Essences 'Seductively Straight' shampoo and 'Beautiful Ends' conditioner. Both of these are inexpensive products which really do the job well and keep my hair soft and shiny. I find the 400ml bottles usually last around a month. Skincare wise, I use a daily scrub from Neutrogena to remove any dirt on my skin. The 'Deep Clean Invigorating Scrub' really cleanses the pores and has a slight tingling sensation on the skin. This then prepares my skin for moisturiser and makeup. I also keep a razor in the shower, currently I am using a Wilkinson Sword 'Extra Beauty 2' razor, which does the job well. 





Weekly Products:
I currently use a scrub once a week, to ensure any dead skin is removed, to help keep my skin in top condition. I love Soap And Glory's scrubs and am currently using their 'Sugar Crush' variety. This is a lime scented scrub which has oils such as macadamia oil in it, to really condition the skin, without leaving any residue or film behind. The smell is fresh and fruity which I really like. I also like the brands 'Breakfast Scrub' which smells like maple syrup pancakes! These huge tubs last me around 4 months throughout the winter and probably 2 months in the summer, just because I exfoliate more regularly then. I would highly recommend this scrub as the beads aren't too gritty or harsh, yet they leave the skin soft and smooth. The packaging on this product has changed and now has a pink lid, I just had a couple in my stash to use up, hence the old pot. My final item is a Herbal Essences hair treatment. I use the 'Beautiful Ends Split End Protection Intensive Mask' every weekend just to help rehydrate and nourish my hair. I use a grape sized amount and leave it on for the length of my shower, before rinsing. I then find my hair is silky and smooth until the next wash.
