Necessaire, worth every penny in my opinion

Body wash is L’Occitane almond oil body wash. It smells amazingggggg and makes my skin feel nice and smooth.
IDKBear25@reddit
It's a shower oil - how exactly does it work?
iloovehugecock@reddit
It foams and lathers like any body wash. It’s just runnier and more oily in consistency. Smells amazing and very moisturising too.
IDKBear25@reddit
Ahhh okay cool - the only reason I know of this exact product is because Patrick Bateman uses it in American Psycho!

For simple, low fuss stuff I grab brands that are easy to find: Aveeno, Dove Sensitive, Nivea Creme Soft and Cornish Seaweed Bath.
Kim-Tan-2991@reddit
A few solid options: Aveeno, Faith in Nature, Lush bars, and for smth a bit more plant-focused you could check out Cornish Seaweed Bath, their seaweed-based stuff feels gentle and nourishing
blumpkinator2000@reddit
Head & Shoulders 2 in 1 Apple Fresh. I find it stops my scalp folliculitis in its tracks without making my hair feel like straw, so I stick with this one now.
Body wash I like to chop and change. Currently rotating between Old Spice Deep Sea and L'Oreal Hydra Energetic, also quite like Pears shower gel and the Dove mens body washes.
On my face, it's Gillette beard/face wash. Once or twice a week I'll use Neutrogena salicylic acid face scrub.

I like my sure clean comfort deodorant, body wash. I like pantenne classic shampoo and conditioner.
Defiant-Cupcake-8984@reddit
John Frieda frizz ease shampoo and conditioner. Generic supermarket body wash and soap and glory on pamper days.
romeo__golf@reddit
I love the Bath & Bodywork’s range. I usually buy them while I’m on holiday in the US, but you can also get them from Next in the UK.
Totally overpriced here, but I love them.
haiku-monster@reddit
My regular rotation: Method body wash for a fresh, light cleanse, Dove or Aveeno on rough skin days, and Faith in Nature when I want smth vegan and plant-based. I’ve also given the Cornish Seaweed Bath set a go, it’s gentler and has that seaweed/essential oil vibe
rabbithole-xyz@reddit
Baylis & Harding oud, cedar and amber. Husband and I both love it.
fussilyarrabbiata@reddit
Dove body wash and Dove shampoo/conditioner. And the Aveeno clarifying shampoo every few weeks.
Knowlesdinho@reddit
I'm probably a bit of a heretic as I use Original Sauce mint shower gel for everything and don't use a separate shampoo.
Notagelding@reddit
All of the original source are great but the lidl cien is just the same, and cheaper. Only have a few different ones though!

Lunaspoona@reddit
Umberto Gianni.
Smells amazing and feels nice.
Also cruelty free and more ethical than others.
Its always on offer somewhere, boots or the supermarket so never pay full price for it.
Glad-Pomegranate6283@reddit
I use this brand too, I realised I had curly/wavy hair back in early 2022. Finally been consistent with my routine for three months now. I buy mainly UG stuff, I use the boots recycling scheme too which helps
Hafnic@reddit
Molton Brown. It's expensive but a little goes a long way.
The_Pixel_Knight@reddit
I use something cheaper, then use a little bit of MB Black Pepper body wash lathered in my hair and use that for a second wash. That way the expensive stuff lasts longer.
Hafnic@reddit
Yes!! It's the way forward especially if I'm feeling particularly grubby.
C0nnectionTerminat3d@reddit
Lush! they have an incredible range of scents and even “types” of washes. Gel, bar, jelly, gummy, marshmallow and more.
They’ll have a 50% off sale starting boxing day, just an fyi as lush can get quite expensive!
The_Pixel_Knight@reddit
Karma or Sticky dates lotion after a shower
suzululi@reddit
Second Lush!!
Effective-Eagle-2488@reddit
Love Lush! My daughter had a shower gel from there as one of her birthday gifts and she literally smells like chocolate all the time. A little goes a long way too.

AlfalfaSerious9355@reddit
Prefer bar of soap
ClydeB3@reddit
I really like Gruum (more specifically I use their Bard hair/beard shampoo and body wash bars)
Curiouscatlady1084@reddit
I use and love Vo5 for my hair , my hair changed a few years ago and it meant I had to find a new shampoo to use that actually made my hair feel clean and balanced. I previously used herbal essences for years but then all of a sudden as I have aged it was not doing it for me. I like champneys soap, shower gel and bubble bath stuff but I mainly use radox .
anabsentfriend@reddit
Original Source shower gel and Miniml shampoos and conditioner.
All cruelty free and containing no animal products or SLS.
Benreh@reddit
I'm loving my bars of the black stuff soap, bought a bundle a few months back and making my way through the different flavours. I just get whatever is on offer for shampoo.
blondererer@reddit
I use the giant Naturium body wash. It’s about £18 on Amazon. I’ve got the glow getter one at the moment but want to try some others.
jooniejoon3@reddit
Naturium is incredible! I have sensitive skin and it works so well for me, too
sillwuka@reddit
Dove Beauty Bar soap, can't go wrong with that. Less abrasive than any shower gel.
Maleficent_Day_3869@reddit
the redken all soft shampoo and conditioner have been the best for me
PurpleOctopus6789@reddit
I like original source. Whether that's raspberry or lemon one, I don't mind and use depending on my mood. I also like some of the Nivea men ones, women ones are not as nice. For some reason, my hair does amazing on one of those elvive ones. I've tried expensive no sulphate once and my hair hated it but it thrives on this ones.
Mindless-Credit191@reddit
I use salt and stone but it does last me about 4-5 weeks as a little goes along way and I shower once or twice a day at times. Shampoo is way more specific for hair type, so ouai is good, but currently using a head and shoulders treatment for a scalp condition
Cheese_Dinosaur@reddit
I still use soap! I have one of those little hessian wash bag things that you put the soap in and wash with. I use one of those natural soaps from Amazon. For some reason it just feels cleaner. I use Vosene shampoo for the same reason. I’m a woman and I know that I am meant to use conditioner but I don’t and if I do it’s always the cheapest own brand one.
Waste-Box7978@reddit
Rituals mens foam spray for body wash, then hesd snd shoulders for shampoo O
Iwantedalbino@reddit
The big bottles of L’Oreal men’s shower gel with the pump on top and tre semme shampoo and conditioner
Familiar_Swan_662@reddit
Herbal essences shampoo and conditioner from tescos (the green ones). Dont think its exactly luxury, but it does a great job and keeps my hair soft and clean. For bodywash I use palmolive, keeps me clean but also dosent dry out my skin
External-Piccolo-626@reddit
Simple soap, as in the brand. No fake smell it just cleans well and a bar will last far longer than cheap bottles.
QuantumWizard-314@reddit
DrOrganic. Or whatever looks good at Holland&Barratt and other similar shops
JedsBike@reddit
Faith in nature shampoo - and conditioner.
Bar of soap. I do buy the cheapest ones, but the fancy bars are really nice as presents or something.
Gregoryr94@reddit
Whatever comes wrapped up on December 25th 🤣
Lonelywebs@reddit
Turtle wax.
NatureConnectedBeing@reddit
Try some different faith in nature ones! Highly recommend
