What's in my shower?

Every now and again I happen to stumble across those youtube videos where a huge beauty guru reveals to the world their 'shower routine' - aka "The gazillion lotions/gels/creams/scrubs/insert other product here that are breeding in my shower." The videos are usually very long, often exceeding ten minutes, and contain literally 15-20 products. Honestly guys? Do you really use that many products?

I don't know about you, but when I am showering I would be lucky if I get around to washing my hair. I shower first thing in the morning, and to be honest, I'm not in the mood for an elaborate 25 step routine involving hundreds of products.

Right, now my rant is out of the way, I can get on to the post. These are the products that I use, and as you can see, it is a humble four products.

First is my Clean and Clear Blackhead clearing scrub. It is fairly rough so I only use it once or twice a week. I cleanse my face in the morning and night when I don't use this product.

Next is my I love...strawberries and milkshake body wash. This smells so darn good and lathers up really quite nicely. On the days that I am looking for more of a scrub, I use my Lux glamorazzi shower gel which contains small pieces of loofah  and has a gorgeous citrus fragrance.

Last is a gorgeous berry smelling soap that I got from a tiny little shop in the middle of nowhere. This soap is so lovely and gentle, and smells incredible.

Of course I have missed out on shampoo and conditioner, but at the moment I have been changing it up pretty regularly anyway.

So there it is, a terribly simple routine in comparison to other big beauty gurus I know, but for some people who use soap and water it is pretty complicated!

  2. The lux shower gel looks good! Where did you get it from / how much, if you don't mind me asking?
    Thanks for a great post :) Glad to know I am not the only person who uses a humble amount of products!!!!

    1. Thanks for your comment! The lux shower gel is good! I was given this particular one as a gift, but I have seen these being sold in supermarkets like Woolworths/Coles for between 5 and 10 dollars. Here is the website (but in my opinion it is pretty useless):

  3. My shower caddy is pretty overflowing, though the products that I use are mainly narrowed down to cleanser, exfoliator, body wash and shampoo. The "I love" body wash sounds really yummy! The bottle reminds me of philosophy's shower gels :)

    1. The "I love" body wash is gorgeous, though I hate that the smell doesn't linger on the skin once out of the shower. Although, I expect if it did I would still complain about not being able to wear perfume because of the smell etc. I can never be pleased! :)
