The $10 Body Wash That Boosts My Mood There are plenty of beauty products that excite me. A better-than-falsies mascara warrants a jump for joy. A luxe moisturizer that takes off 10 years overnight is well worth a text of praise-hand emojis punctuated by exclamation points. But body wash? The seemingly utilitarian product has never elicited more than an ambivalent shrug from me. My M.O. has always been to hit up the drugstore and pick out the most massive, cheapest bottle I could find -- that is, until I discovered Soap & Glory's Orangeasm Body Wash, $10.
This zesty body wash -- which yes, I love in spite of its blush-inducing name -- has an uncanny ability to lift my spirits every time I lather up. Its bright citrus scent evokes sunny days and orange groves, rather than lemon-scented house-cleaning products (a victory in itself), and it helps put a spring in my step when I'm battling morning brain fog.
But Soap & Glory's body wash offers more than just a nice fragrance. Its hydrating formula leaves my skin feeling silky, not stripped (I've gone as far as to use it to shave my legs). Of course, it also fulfills all of the utilitarian requirements of a good body wash. It's inexpensive, comes in a handy pump-topped bottle and is large enough that it takes a long time to deplete (even when my husband swipes a squirt or three here and there). I don't kick up my heels and do a happy dance for just any body wash, but this one justifies some revelry. --Mary Squillace
