The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Shower Gel
I make no bones about the fact The Body Shop shower gels are my favourite. I’m yet to find another brand that matches up truly with the ridiculous abundance of lather, silky soft foam, and intense fragrance. They’re fun, uplifting and really reminiscent of my childhood.
