Hi Girls!
How are you all doing?? Long, refreshing showers just take away all the stress of our hectic schedules: ) Don’t they? Given that, The product I would be describing today is Palmolive Absolute Relax Shower gel/Body wash that contains Ylang Ylang essential oil, Iris Extract and Lavender. In past, I have tried the variant with Rose Extracts and Orange one. Must mention, I was not happy with the Latter. :( The smell is pretty irritating (bitter)
Price and quantity:
Rs 125 for 250 m
My Take:
This shower gel comes in a see through plastic bottle which lets you see how much of the product is left. Also the beautiful colour of the product is quite appealing. The bottle comes with a flip-top. The cap closes tightly which makes it quite travel friendly. However, it adds some weight to your handbag :( but it is tolerable. The bottle is shaped somewhat like an hour glass to allow a firm grip in shower.
It is very light purple in colour and is of a ideally thick texture. Choice of fragrance varies from person to person. To me,the smell is mild, relaxing and appealing. It shouldn’t be an issue even for people with sensitive noses :) However, your skin doesn’t retain the smell for much time.
The product lathers well and thoroughly cleanses my skin as good as a soap. It gets washed off completely so full marks in that department. You need to take sufficient amount of gel on your loofah.
PROS:
- Lathers well
- Cleanses well and leaves skin squeaky clean :)
- Gets washed off completely
- Combats body odour
- Mild aroma which is relaxing
- Affordable
- Lots of variants :) for greedy people like me
- Sturdy packing
- Works well as a face wash in crisis
- You can always layer up the frarance with a talc or perfume.
CONS:
- Fragrance does not last for long time
- A bit heavy to carry
Rating: 3/5
Would I Repurchase?:
Probably I won’t repurchase this again. I want to try the Thermal spa variant from the same range.
Do I Recommend?:
Yes. This body wash is definitely worth a shot :)
