    When it comes to in-shower storage, there is usually room for a maximum of three products. And so, when choosing which (typically large) body wash bottle is worthy of renting such prime real estate,  it’s not a decision we take lightly.

    Plus, considering the variations of sensitive, oily, dry, you-name-it-i’ve-got-it skin types, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to selecting the ideal body wash. So whether you’re looking to prioritise hydration, divulge in a deep cleanse, or simply like a creamy consistency or  an amazing smell, we’ve got a body wash suggestion for you...

    DermaVeen Extra Hydration Gentle Soap-Free Wash

    These thing last me forever because I always end up reaching for the soap bar.

    clearcrystalwater 1 Jul 2021 2:56 PM

    I'm using the Bioderma oil wash at the moment from the RR and it smells so beautiful - it's not too strong and has a softish sort or scent to it. I also love Molton Brown shower gels (and apparently so does the Queen!!).

    Rhianna_little123 22 Apr 2021 6:50 PM

    i need to try this

    Yohanna 20 Apr 2021 7:30 PM

    I like shower oils. Atm using a shampoo as a body wash...as I ran lout of body washes and do not use soaps ever.

    Kw1811 19 Apr 2021 6:57 PM

    I love anything from Nivea and the smell is amazing!

    ElleKay 14 Apr 2021 4:02 PM

    I use the dove one and it definitely lives in my shower permanently

    AndreaJW 11 Apr 2021 2:47 PM

    I prefer a body scrub that a wash or soap

    Ellyloves 7 Apr 2021 11:53 AM

    I haven't tried all of them, only some.

    Chicklet 4 Apr 2021 11:01 PM

    Some nice recommendations. I prefer body washes over soap.

    clearcrystalwater 1 Jul 2021 2:56 PM

    Yeah I like the way a body wash works with a pouf.

    Ellyloves 7 Apr 2021 11:53 AM

    They do work better.

    Amelia987 30 Mar 2021 7:46 PM

    That method packaging looks cute

    perthchick 25 Mar 2021 6:49 PM

    My fav out of this lot would be Sukin.

    Love bug 24 Mar 2021 12:09 PM

    not the biggest fan of many of these tbh cause I have quite sensitive skin. But QV's not too bad, gets the job done

    Berylr 12 Mar 2021 1:44 PM

    Great information collated here. Inspired to try a couple on this list

    aoperez 11 Mar 2021 10:57 PM

    As someone who tries to use good soap instead of body wash -just to save on the plastic factor - I must confess that I have used and LOVED the L'Occitane Almond Oil which is exquisite (and has a cult following for a reason!!) and also loved the Method Pure Peace body wash which is also gorgeous!

    I have also used the Nivea In-shower body lotion but it just felt funny to moisturise IN the shower! LOL!

    Marclaire 4 Mar 2021 1:32 PM

    I much prefer body wash to soap. I've used the Dove, the QV and the L'Occitane. All good.

    Chrystalage 3 Mar 2021 10:27 PM

    I don't feel the need to use any body wash . I don't get very dirty or sweaty so I use water and acne wash on my pits so my crystal deodorant works more effectively.

    Ellyloves 7 Apr 2021 11:56 AM

    We are opposite then! I do lots of exericise.

    Chrystalage 8 Apr 2021 12:34 AM

    I also do a fair amount of exercise. I have very dry skin and soap and the like irritate my skin.

    Ellyloves 8 Apr 2021 10:30 AM

    And water is enough?

    Chrystalage 8 Apr 2021 10:14 PM

    Yes

    clearcrystalwater 1 Jul 2021 2:58 PM

    I can imagine an acne wash would work well.

    Chrystalage 1 Jul 2021 8:35 PM

    It works really well and keep odour in check

    Joey502 1 Mar 2021 5:02 PM

    One of my family members have skin dry skin problems and he has been loving DermaVeen Extra Hydration Gentle Soap-Free Wash ! It’s an amazing product
