Top affordable shower gels and body moisturizers
There’s no reason to spend massive amounts of money on shower gels and moisturizers for the body. If you go to department stores, you’ll see body lotions selling for over $30. Although they may smell better than drugstore brands, the truth is that they do not make your skin softer. In my experience, the best body moisturizer is still Vaseline Intensive Care. I’ve tried a number of department store brands and nothing comes close, except perhaps Aveeno, which a lot of dermatologists seem to recommend to their patients. Vaseline has a large number of moisturizers with gimmicky names, but I like the original formula. It’s not perfumed either.
In the shower gel category, I like the bath gels from EO which is a line of organic skincare products that smell very good and are gentle on the body, especially the French lavender. EO also sells shampoos, conditioners, hand soap and body lotion.

Just bought a 32 oz bottle of “everyday shea” lotion (w. vanilla) and 32oz of “everyday shea” bath gel. Both fair trade, organic, shares money with african women making the shea butter, and $9.99 each from @WholeFoods.
Lovely smell. And keeps the water and my skin safe from parabins, phosphorus, sulfates, other bad stuff we don’t want in environment.
Totally recommend.

I have to try that. I was just at Whole Foods yesterday but will be going again later in the week.
