I'm not normally one to rave about shower gels. In fact, I'm usually so underwhelmed by the fads of patchouli-jasmine-herbiscous shower 'foams', that I'd rather opt for the fragrance-free mild exfoliants instead.
But as you may or may not know, I TOTALLY LOVE COCONUT. I'm nuts for it ('scuse the terrible pun) so I had to try this new edition by Original Source. It smells SO amazing that I now look forward to using it in the shower. What's more, it didn't dry out my skin at all. Afterwards I liberally applied coconut body butter by The Body Shop, and I got great compliments for the rest of the day. A shop assistant even asked what product I'd used. Coconut heaven!
I occasionally have little outbreaks of psoriasis on my elbows, so I stay away from any moisturisers or shower gels with a fruit base. The citric acids can irritate skin conditions - the same goes for eczema - so avoid the fruity ones if you're prone. Nut based products like this one (along with brazil, vanilla, shea) have a much more soothing quality.
