I'd like to say that it was a brilliant advertisement that reeled me in with this new Soap and Glory release but it wasn't. I'm just addicted to their Sugar Crush scent and have to have anything in said scent. So when I saw that their new Shower Jelly came in it I picked one up.
The premise of this product is that it's a shower gel in jelly form which means you don't necessarily need a loofah or sponge. It claims all you need to do is wet your skin, squeeze a bit onto your hand and then rub it into your skin. The jelly will turn into a foamy lather as you massage it on your skin and then you just rinse it off like you would any other shower gel. My favourite thing about this product apart from the smell is the fact that this actually comes out like a jelly. It's not a thin runny consistency that runs down your arm, it's a thick jelly substance that you have to really work at to turn it into a lather.
I can't say for sure if it works better or does anything extra special over any other shower gel but it does leave skin feeling clean and smelling great. It definitely isn't a product for everyone and if you're a big fan of using sponges in the bath or shower to get a really good lather then definitely don't look at this product. I've used it with my hands and with a sponge to see if it does create a really bubbly almost foamy lather and it doesn't. Stick to Soap and Glory's regular shower gels or body washes for that.
At £5.50 for a 250ml tube it's not as expensive as some of their other shower gels but it is a product that has a sort of required taste. If you're not bothered by body washes that are overly bubbly and foamy on the skin then this is for you. It still cleans well but without being over the top. And if you don't like the Sugar Crush scent then it also comes in their original Clean On Me scent as well. But if you do like your showers to be over the top foamy and somewhat a bit more luxurious then this is not for you.
Have any of you tried this? What did you think? Let me know in the comments.
