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.
