Skin Soothing: Vichy Essentielles Shower Gel

Skin Soothing: Vichy Essentielles Shower Gel
By Beaut.ie  | Jan 8, 2010

I've been given out to in comments before for my liking of posh shower gel, but there's actually method to my purse-opening madness. Yes, I know it can seem a bit bananas to spend money on something you literally put down the plughole, but I always find that three-fer-two's and BOGOFF-type supermarket gels give me really dry, itchy skin. The cheaper something is, the more foaming agents  it has as a general rule, and my skin is dry, so it doesn't like foaming agents much.

So that's why I like posh washes, ladies. Oh that and the fact I like posh things in general, of course. But I found a great product recently that's very afforable, smells good AND doesn't dry out my skin. Best of all, it costs just €5.90, so it's definitely cheap enough for every day use.

Paraben-free, hypoallergenic and suitable for dry, sensitive skin, Vichy's recently launched Essentielles range includes a shower gel, and gets the me thumbs-up. You get 200ml for the price, it has a nice, not too sweet rose fragrance and best of all, it leaves my skin feeling nice and smooth. Not too bad for 10c under six quid, eh?
