So when I see the word anti-stress and aromatherapy my eyes bulge and I must have it! When reading it on a bottle of body wash it's a bit new and unseen at least by lil ole me. I of course smelt the body wash because unless it smells amazing it doesn't get a free ride in my supermarket trolley.
The purple bottle.....eye candy! Purple is my fave colour besides black so that's four boxes ticked so far: purple....tick, aromatherapy.....tick, anti-stress.....tick, smells divine.....BIG TICK! Get in my trolley! I couldn't wait to try this and get the results promised on the label. I am not a big fan of the shape of the bottle because it's hard to hold with soapy and slippery hands I can't count how many times I have dropped it and broke the cap!
I squirt a generous amount on to my loofah and loofah my body till I am soaped up. The smell that fills the bathroom is beyond heavenly. It certainly suits the aromatherapy label on it. After rinsing my skin felt hydrated and smooth and gave me a very clean feeling. The question which is wanted answered most of all. Do I feel de-stressed? Yes indeed I do after using this everytime. It excites the senses and clears a cloudy head even on the worst of days.
I love that the gel like liquid is purple which matched the bottle and gives me something pretty to see on my shower shelf. The smell on my skin lasts nearly all day even after a run or walk. I am hooked on this now but then my choice has always been Palmolive products when it comes to bodywash. A+ grade from me!
I purchased this product for $6 at New World after wanting it for ages, having seen it advertised on television. As Palmolive is a reliable brand in New Zealand, I trusted that this product would be good.
Firstly it comes in a gorgeous attractive purple 500ml bottle, with the distinctive Palmolive logo. I find purple a relaxing colour without it having to do anything else.
I fumbled with the lid for a minute before figuring out how it opened. But once it opened I was greeted by a delicious aroma.
Now I know the bottle says shower gel, but for me relaxing equals bath, so this product in my household is a bath gel – sorry Palmolive! So after running some lovely hot baths, in goes a generous squirt (and by squirt I mean a big blob plops into the water, as it is a very gel-ly gel). The gorgeous scent immediately pervades the senses. The water softens and my muscles and bones feel like they soften with it. Very relaxing.
After leaving the bath my skin is lovely and clean and soft, and maintains the beautiful smell for some time afterwards. Likewise the bathroom and hallway also enjoy the lingering scent – beautiful!
The product claims to use the best ingredients from nature to leave skin clean and noticeably softer. Enriched with essential oil of almond and essence of vanilla to nourish and cleanse skin in one easy step. Well my skin always feels clean and soft afterwards and it seems likely this can be attributed to the almond oil and vanilla.
It always feels like a win when a product that is economical and easy to use does a better than anticipated job, and this product is certainly a winner. I say buy it for yourself and buy some to gift to family and friends – you won’t regret it.
Having fallen in love with this product, I have also added some of the other Palmolive shower products to my list of things I want.
Tips: If using in the bath, rub some straight onto under arms and legs for shaving. It softens the skins and leaves smooth skin and a nice scent after shaving.
