What do you reach for in the shower? I'm a shower gel gal ... my shower currently has 7 on rotation! I just love lathering them up on my poufs. :) What are your favorites, and why do you prefer one over the other?

I enjoy the easy lather of a gel and that's what I have right now but I'm usually a Body Shop Glycerin soap gal since that what seems to irritate my skin the least.

I'm a shower gel girl. I usually just use Avon or Original Source.

At the moment, I am using Burt's Bees Citrus Ginger body wash.

Definately a body wash girl. I've found most bar soaps dry me out too much. I really like the Ivory body wash. Doesn't really smell like anything and gets me clean. I do have some Bath and Body Works Midnight Pomegrante for when I'm in the mood for something different.

Did you know that eau de grapefruit makes women appear six years younger than they actually are? A study published by The Smell and Taste Institute concluded that broccoli, banana, spearmint leaves, and lavender didn't have any effect on age reduction -- just grapefruit. So I have been experimenting with various grapefruit shower gels and bar soaps. Lately I have been using Bath and Body Pink Grapefruit Shower Gel.

If I could look six years younger from a shower gel, which is highly doubtful, I would buy stock in this stuff. The citrusy scent does give you a need morning jolt, though.

Wow! That's pretty amazing. I do love the scent of grapefruit body washes, which I think is odd since I actually hate the taste of grapefruit! I'm a huge fan of all the Philosophy 3-in-1s, they last forever and they all smell amazing!

In high school I used The Body Shop's glycerin soaps all the time! I used to love going there every weekend and buying another one! I think at one point my bathroom had 8 or 9 in there :)

I've been a shower gel person ever since someone told me that same thing that holds bar soaps together is what clogs your pores. No idea if it's true, but I'm a bit manic about keeping my pores unclogged. I don't need any help from soap!

I will admit to using an occasional Lush bar, though. Like Snowcake or Honey I Washed the Kids. They just smell too good not to!

I love anything Philosophy. I have not tried 3-in-1s. I will give it a sniff very soon.
