So White shower gel

     


Often, in Lush's seasonal range, they release a number of products with pretty non-traditional Christmas scents, and this is one of them. So White shower gel was first released in the 2014 range of products, and based on the Bath Bomb of the same name.

It isn't a very exciting shower gel, compared to the other seasonal releases which are bursting with colour and quite unusual scents that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. So White is, like the name suggests, a pure white shower gel with a little white lustre running through it. But don't worry, as the lustre is not the sort to stick to your skin or hair when washing with the shower gel.

The scent of this shower gel is pure apple. It is quite a sour, but natural scent- think freshly peeled granny smith apples. It is a very invigorating scent and one which I think would pick you up on a particularly warm day. Although obviously all Lush products are unisex and can be used by anyone, this one strikes me as one guys might be a particular fan of, due to it not being too sugary sweet or perfume-y. Personally, I quite liked the smell- it makes a change to the usual gourmand-scented shower gels I generally use.

So white shower gel has a very thin texture- it is almost as runny as water. So make sure you are careful about how much comes out at once, as you really don't need tons to get a lather going, especially if you are using a shower puff.

It lathered up well enough, cleansed my skin and left me feeling squeaky clean and my skin smelling faintly of apples. Unfortunately, this smell isn't very strong, and I did have to moisturise after using this. Any lotion I used overpowered the scent of So White shower gel left on my skin, which was a bit of a shame.

Overall, this product isn't particularly one of my favourites, as it seems pretty similar to a lot of run-of-the-mill cheaper shower gels I have tried in the past. I also wasn't keen on the watery texture.  I would probably not buy it again, however I know there is plenty of people who really enjoy this, so if you want to give it a go, I am sure Lush will bring this back in Christmas 2015. Keep your eyes peeled!
