We’re morning people, but it doesn’t mean we like it when our alarm clock starts buzzing, like, ever. Once we’re up though, and standing beneath the shower’s water, The Body Shop’s Peppermint Invigorating Shower Gel helps kick us into action, because, as the name suggests, it’s fresh and bright scent invigorates our senses and wakes us up the second we uncap the bottle and squeeze a dollop of the gel all over our body.
Enriched with peppermint essential oil from U.K. farms, the liquid instantly transforms into foamy bubbles that when rubbed all over our arms, torso, back, butt, legs and feet soothes our hot skin, while washing away sweat, oil, dirt and grime. It’s loaded with glycerin, decyl glucoside, cocamidopropyl betaine and coco-betaine, sustainable palm oil derivatives that moisturize our skin and leave it looking and feeling silky soft. The overall effect is refreshing. And we appreciate that the formula is made with 92 per cent ingredients of natural origin that are certified by The Vegan Society.
We don’t restrict our use for just the mornings either. This shower gel is so good, we’re lathering up with it after a spin session at the gym, laps in the community pool and sometimes, in a hot tub at the end of the day to ease our tired muscles. Often too, after we jump out of the water, we’ll smooth a little of The Body Shop’s Peppermint Invigorating Body Gel 48-hour Instant Cooling Moisture lotion on our body as well. The extra hit of cooling hydration makes us feel sensationally good and ready for the busyness ahead of us. Plus, the bottle and its packaging are both recyclable, which reinforces our belief that we’ve made the right choice for our skin, body and the environment.
The Body Shop, Peppermint Invigorating Shower Gel, $13 for 250 ml and Peppermint Invigorating Body Gel 48-hour Instant Cooling Moisture, $20 for 200 ml, are both available at The Body Shop stores and online at www.thebodyshop.com.
