2023 seems to be the year of shower gel remakes at Lush. We’ve had Santa’s Christmas shower cream reimagined into the Mario shower gel and the So White shower gel reimagined into the Luigi shower gel, today I will be reviewing the Fresh As Shower Gel.
The Fresh As shower gel was released by Lush as a part of their 2023’s Father’s Day line. If you’re a frequent Lush customer, You’ll likely recognise this shower gel because before now it was originally released for Father’s Day under the name Rad Dad.
Unlike the other reimagined shower gels that I mentioned above, Fresh As and Rad Dad only have one difference and that’s their name. Fresh As is described by Lush as a ‘Siberian pine and orris oil bathroom treat’.
It is a beautiful dark shade of blue and shares its scent with all of the products from the Fresh As/Needles and Pines scent-family. I knew before I had even tried it that it would be a firm favourite for my husband in particular, he already uses the Fresh As perfume that I got him for Christmas 2020 all of the time so a shower gel equivalent has gone down a treat.
Fresh As contains a long list of refreshing and stimulating ingredients, there’s Siberian fir needle, orris and tagetes oils as well as benzoin resinoid and also infusion of fresh cucumber.
Its scent is very outdoorsy, rich and herbaceous. It’s refreshing but also creates a warming sensation on your skin, it’s an excellent shower gel to use after a workout or physically demanding day.
As someone who deals with chronic pain in all of my joints and muscles, the Fresh As shower gels stimulating effects really does help soothe my tired, aching muscles.
Consistency-wise the Fresh As shower gel is lovely and thick, much like the Hot Toddy and Bubbly shower gels. After several quite recent watery shower gel releases from Lush, I was pleasantly surprised when I first squirted some Fresh As shower gel in my hands.
Fresh As lathers up quickly and the tiniest amount goes an incredibly long way. A blob the size of a one-pound coin is more than enough to wash your whole body with.
Its scent really does come alive when combined with the hot water and steam from your shower. If you’re looking for a product that isn’t as spicy as Cinders shower gel, yet is still warming on the skin, Fresh As is well worth a try.
The shower gels scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day. I wouldn’t say it was a particularly hydrating shower gel, but it doesn’t dry out my skin at all.
Overall, I am very impressed with the Fresh As shower gel, it’s good value for money and is loved by everyone in my house. I have my fingers crossed that Lush bring out more products that share the Fresh As scent!
