Skinny Dip Shower Gel from Lush

The Skinny Dip Shower Gel is one of six that Lush are releasing a limited amount of on the Lush app on the 26th of June 2024 and online on the 28th. They will also be available in selected Lush flagship stores.

The Skinny Dip shower gel is a milky white colour and much like the Super Milk shower gel from the same drop has a runnier consistency compared to some of the other more recently released shower gels.

The Skinny Dip shower gel isn’t new to Lush, it was actually one of Lush’s first ever shower gels back when they first opened their doors in 1995. If I had a time machine, the first place I’d visit is that first Lush store and I’d buy absolutely EVERYTHING!

Although the Skinny Dip shower gel is one of Lush’s older products, it hasn’t seen the light of day for a very long time as the original formula wasn’t self-preserving and was therefore subject to go off. Lush switched up an ingredient or two to make it self-preserving and now it’s back and better than ever!

Consistency wise the Skinny Dip shower gel is a little thicker than the Super Milk shower gel but not by much. I recommend giving it a good shake before using it as this thickens it up.

Some customers have been quite vocal about the thinner consistency of the shower gels included in this latest shower gel drop but as long as they do exactly what a shower gel should, I’m happy – runny or thick.

The Skinny Dip shower gel contains plenty of skin hydrating glycerine, coconut infusion, fine sea salt, cold pressed murumuru butter, cedarwood oil, clary sage oil, clove bud oil, palmarosa oil, vetivert oil and ylang ylang oil.

The shower gels label describes the scent so well that I’m just going to quote it instead of attempting to describe it myself. Skinny Dip is a ‘chocolatey, clove-scented mixture with a hint of tropical essential oils to calm the mind and soothe the skin.’

It has a lot of ingredients; Seeing its long list I was expecting the scent of Skinny Dip to be strong and overpowering, it is however a very gentle fragrance.

To me, it’s perfect. The clove gives it a spicy kick but without it being super intense, something that is quite rare when clove is involved.

The Skinny Dip shower gel lathers up easily and a small amount of it goes a very long way. Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes hold as does how it feels on your skin.

Using just a little bit of the Skinny Dip shower gel feels like millions of tiny hands are massaging all of my aches and pains away. With it being a little runnier, it also works well when squirted into a running bath.

I found the Skinny Dip shower gel incredibly moisturising and super relaxing to use, clove is a magical ingredient, as is glycerine. 24 hours later my skin still feels and looks incredible after using Skinny Dip.

Once out of the shower the Skinny Dip scent is detectable on your skin although very subtle. I thought I wouldn’t like how gentle the scent is but it’s really grown on me, sometimes less is more.

Let The Good Times Roll Shower Gel from Lush

The Let The Good Times Roll Shower Gel is one of six that Lush are releasing a limited amount of on the Lush app on the 26th of June 2024 and online on the 28th. They will also be available in selected Lush flagship stores.

The Let The Good Times Roll shower gel doesn’t look how I expected it to look at all, I wrongly imagined that it would look like what the Super Milk and Sultana shower gels do BUT it’s more like the beautifully sparkly and golden, Golden Egg shower gel from Lush’s Easter line!

Let The Good Times Roll isn’t quite as shimmery as Golden Egg but it’s pretty enough to catch my attention.

When I first saw what six shower gels were coming out, it was definitely the Let The Good Times Roll shower gel I was most excited to try…

Consistency wise the Let The Good Times Roll shower gel is a little runny, I recommend giving it a good shake before using it as this does thicken it up a bit.

I haven’t heard for sure, but I believe the shimmer side of the Let The Good Times Roll shower gel is a similar formula to that found in both the Magik and Passion shower gels.

If it is the same, it’s a new shower gel innovation that Lush have recently come up with so that the sparkly ingredient in the shower gels won’t separate in the bottle like past, sparkly Lush shower gels have done.

The Let The Good Times Roll shower gel contains plenty of skin hydrating glycerine, fine sea salt and polenta infusion.

My first experience with the Let The Good Times Roll scent was in its fresh face and body cleanser format. Since, I have also enjoyed it in products such as the Nana shower gel, Yummy Custard body wash, Pop Art bath bomb and most recently the Let The Good Times Roll body lotion too.

The Let The Good Times Roll scent is best described as just like freshly popped, toffee popcorn. It’s delicious, warm, and incredibly moreish. I’m not normally a lover of sweet scents but Let The Good Times Roll is just too yummy not to fall in love with.

The Let The Good Times Roll shower gel lathers up easily and because it’s not very thick, a small amount of it goes a very long way.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes hold, taking over your bathroom. I admit I found myself using a little more of the shower gel than necessary just because it felt so nice on my skin!

I found the Let The Good Times Roll shower gel incredibly moisturising. The added glycerine really helps lock the moisture into your skin. 24 hours later my skin still feels incredible.

Once out of the shower the Let The Good Times Roll scent remains on your skin for a good few hours, although it is not as strong on your skin, it is still detectable. Overall, I LOVE the Let The Good Times Roll shower gel, It’s a huge improvement on the super runny Nana shower gel that shares its scent. I’ll be sad to see it go.

Super Milk Shower Gel from Lush

The Super Milk Shower Gel is one of six that Lush are releasing a limited amount of on the Lush app on 26th of June 2024. They will also be available in selected Lush flagship stores.

I was lucky enough to get the Super Milk shower gel early as Lush gifted me a bottle of it, along with a bottle of the Guardian of the Forest shower gel too.

The Super Milk shower gel is a creamy white colour and has a slightly runny consistency, I recommend giving it a shake before using it as I find this helps thicken it up a little.

The Super Milk shower gel contains almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, fine sea salt, litsea cubeba oil, tonka absolute, vanilla absolute, fresh lemon juice and bucketloads of glycerine making it incredibly moisturising.

Its scent is best described as sherbet like, it also has noticeable layers of sweet vanilla and tonka, when sniffing it straight from the bottle it reminds me of fizzy sweets.

I haven’t reviewed any of the other Super Milk scented products yet but promise to do one on the perfume equivalent soon. The first product that came out with its scent was actually a hair conditioning spray. A few years ago the conditioning spray went viral on TikTok and now here we are with a shower gel equivalent!

The Super Milk shower gel lathers up easily and because it’s not very thick a small amount of it goes a long way.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really comes to life. I admit I found myself using a little more of the shower gel than necessary just because it felt so nice on my skin.

Once out of the shower the Super Milk scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day, although it is not as strong on your skin it is still very noticeable.

I had used it in the early afternoon and my husband could smell it on me when he got home from work at about 7pm.

Overall, I LOVE the Super Milk shower gel, I hope Lush decide to rerelease it as a part of their all year-round range eventually as its scent is to die for. It’s my favourite Super Milk scented product so far.

My favourite thing about it is how it leaves your skin feeling. The trio of plant-based milks included in the Super Milk shower gel really go to town on skin hydration, there’s no need to moisturise after using it.

It isn’t at all oily either. soaking right into your skin leaving it looking its best. I will be using this shower gel a lot over the next few weeks with the hot weather finally arriving in the UK, I suspect it would be especially good to use in colder months too, my skin is always a little dryer come Wintertime.
