I've been really impressed with the new line of gels from Vitabath.

L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil is truly amazing. It's number 1 in my book. It makes your skin ultra soft and smells awesome too.

I love the choices here, but I would have to add Dove's Go Fresh Cool Moisture (Cucumber and Green Tea). It is the texture of a souffle and wraps your body in total comfort, leaving you soft and silky!

I'll have to try some of these.

I love all of the Philosophy line and woud give up something else to make sure I use Philosophy in the shower.

I love the variety of the body washes mentioned. I agree that the L'occititane almond shower oil is amazing and I'm interested in trying the Aveeno baby for my dry, sensitive legs.

The Clean & Clear Morning Burst Body Wash, and Caress Daily Silk Body Wash were both only ok.

by Chris213 Saturday, October 27, 2012 at 08:02AM Report as inappropriate

They all seem enticing.

I love Caress body washes- they are less drying than all other ones I've tried. And the scents are heavenly.

It's been a long time since I used a body wash - I've been using bar soap and exfoliating gloves instead - but maybe it's time I try again!

I love a nice bath or long, hot shower so this was a great list!

by tallredamanda Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at 12:12PM Report as inappropriate

I was very happy to see a Philosophy 3 in 1 shower gel in the top! I only use Philosophy's bath and shower gels because they make crazy good bubbles and leave my skin smooth and soft.
