Is your regular body wash just not cutting it these days? I can relate. I’ve even tried shaking it up with a luxurious body scrub once a week and I’m still not satisfied with my self- care routine. If like me, you’re looking for that something extra to switch up your routine then you’ve come to the right place. What if I told you there was something you could use that was in between your environmentally friendly soap bar, and your dribbling, liquid body wash?
Let me introduce you to a phenomenon that will bring you back to your childhood self. A shower jelly. It lets you do what your mother never let you do – bring food into the bathroom. (They’re not edible but I wish they were).
UK based brand Lush is renowned for contemporizing your bath essentials. Whether it’s a supercool galactic bath bomb or a delicious smelling face mask, Lush has you covered. Their shower jellies are just another example of Lush giving you that luxurious shower experience. Why use liquid when you can use jelly? It’s a no-brainer if you ask me! Whether you’re looking for an extra restful night’s sleep or an invigorating pick-me-up shower, Lush’s Shower Jellies have got you covered.
It’s a surprisingly refreshing way to wake up your morning routine without having to brave a full icy blast. In the warm heat of summer days, a chilled shower jelly feels like the relief of sipping an ice cold beverage.
What Is Shower Jelly?
What is shower Jelly? You’re probably thinking to yourself “I mean that sounds fun but I need something that can actually clean my body”. You’ve once again knocked on the right (bathroom) door. When these shower jellies get wet they lather up just like a soap. They’re basically the same as your other body-washing alternatives – but way more fun. Somebody should be making the use of these mandatory.
They come in a play-doh type tub (which already has me giddy like a four-year-old), and they just kind of flop out when you’re ready to use it. You can squish them in your hands to get a lather going, chop them up into small pieces, or just plop them in the bath. Either way, you’re getting a good clean in the best way possible.
Baths aren’t just a functional routine to get yourself squeaky clean. They’re supposed to be part of your self-care ritual even if you’re in a crazy rush. Shower jellies give you the best of both worlds. You can use this product without feeling sad or mad because the jelly is just so much fun.
Lush Shower Jellies are made with a seaweed gel base to gently but thoroughly nourish and cleanse the skin. Additional essential oils and fruit extracts ensure this is the aromatherapy you’ve been missing. As if it couldn’t get any better this can also be used as a hair wash. I wouldn’t call it a shampoo per se but it is essentially an all-in-1 Shower Jelly. It nourishes both the hair and skin. What’s not to love?
Lush Deep Sleep Shower Jelly Review
My bed-time conversation sounds something like this: “If I fall asleep now I’ll get seven hours and twenty-three minutes of sleep”, followed by “okay if I fall asleep now I can still get six hours and four minutes”. You get the picture. If you can relate then let me introduce you to Lush’s Deep Sleep Shower Jelly.
It contains three main ingredients to get you to that ‘deep sleep’ state you’ve been missing. The first is lavender oil which not only removes harmful pollutants from the skin but also lowers elevated blood pressure levels. This means your body releases any hypertension it’s been holding. Moving on to the chamomile oil which is an anti-inflammatory. This essential oil should be added to any part of your self-care routine – it purifies and increases skin repair.
Now for the final and most poignant ingredient: Neroli. This substance is actually derived from oranges! It promotes the regeneration of new cells. Neroli is known for its sedative effects – slowing down the organs and metabolism, relieving anxiety and distress.
The first thing I noticed when I came to use this shower jelly was the scent. It instantly relaxed my senses. It was a beautiful orange color infused with gold flecks. I was honestly surprised at how well it lathered, I wasn’t expecting it to be so soapy.
Although I would pre-warn that it is particularly slippy, especially when your hands are already wet from the water. Despite the fact that it’s hard to hold on to, Lush Deep Sleep Shower Jelly is definitely something you’re going to want to get your hands on! I don’t know if it was psychological, but even if it was I don’t care, I slept like a baby that night.
