I'm not a body wash girl.. I'm a hardcore soap gal.. Dove girl.. What would be your recommendations for a reasonably priced yummy bodywash?

I personally love Lush's Snowfairy, but it is rather expensive and only avaliable around Christmas time :(

Health basic's did a really nice milk & honey scented body wash that smelt amazing (I'm not sure if they still make it) or palmolive / lux body washes are cheap and smell pretty good too!

my fave bodywashes are from The Body Shop, Satsuma and White Musk, generally though i go for more natural hand made soaps, though at the moment i have a Lush bodywash which is just gorgeous

If you haven't tried St Ives yet? I would definitely recommend, it gives you a really deep clean and it's affordable at around $7-9 dollars for a 400ml bottle. There's a lot of really positive reviews on here about it..

The best body wash I have found and is my new favourite!! Is the Original Source range from Countdown.  They smell amazing and the scent lasts for ages on your skin too.  They also make a pretty good bubble bath!

I really like Moreish Body Wash so sad the company's closing. I used to use Organic Care but can't find it anywhere. If I had to go for a supermarket brand I would choose Aveeno or Dove. Dove makes my skin so soft and smells amazing and Aveeno nice and gentle. Johnson's Body Wash Dreamy skin is really nice for bedtime showers as the scent is nice and calming.

Body Wash fom The Body Shop is the best. Its soap free and leaves my skin so nourished I dont need to moisturise after. My current favourite is the Honeymania one, such a gorgeous scent.

I only use body wash/shower gels. The one I love the most out all I've tried (of course has to be exspensive) nonetheless performs well, is multipurpose & that's the Loccataine Almond oil shower gel. It's great for dry& oily skin very nourishing,cleans your body & is great if you shave as it gets your skin prepped for hair removal & prevents ingrown's. At $45rrp for 250ml is quite pricey but I think it's worth it especially if it's only you using it(as is in my case)

I have to second health basics! I'm using West Coast Wild Flower, holy heckaroonie its delicious! I find it doesn't dry my skin out, is usually quite affordable but I don't like the bottle design!

Shaz it's a bit weird being so square hey! I'd prefer to actually see them in pump bottles myself, easiest way to use the bigger sizes.

I don't recommend trying to smell them in store either, they have one of those weird coverings over the gel and well lets just say I've had a lot of shower gel in my nose recently

been there haha it's meant to stop leaks but really just means you have to push way too hard to be able to smell it......

haha yeah Trudi! I don't like it at all. I'd prefer just a normal squeezy one personally :P with no covering! lol

i can see the need for them with the flimsy ca and upside down design, but yeah i think a total redesign is their best bet lol

I seem to love the palmolive ones. Milk and honey is my go to. They are cheap but they smell devine and never dry my skin out.

People looked at me funny in the supermarket when I go cap cracking but it's probably the funny faces that I make when having a sniff and getting a less appealing one. The last one I found this was the Palmolive passionfruit exfoliating one.

I go cap cracking for memories with some bodywashes. The Dove Green Tea and Cucumber bodywash reminds me of back when I was younger and living overseas, I had finally gotten my own bedroom and bathroom and I splurged on a giant bottle of this bodywash. The Palmolive Anti-Stress shower gel, the purple one, reminds me of when I was even younger and that was my special scented shower gel for special occasions when I was going out and wanted to smell extra good.

Health Basics is my go to for everyday showering and for buying for the household - Te Mata Apple is a flavour which my fiance likes as well even though it's sweet smelling, which is a plus. For pampering I really love either Happy Hippy or Snow Fairy from Lush - complete opposites, I know! But the Snow Fairy is for if I feel like having a happy, warm, deliciously sweet hug of a shower, and Happy Hippy is zingy and fresh and envigoratingly yummy.

My kids all love Snow fairy & Clean on me by Soap & Glory. I do too but I buy for their bathroom Lush when it's out a 500ml & regularly get the largest size 800ml from Health Basics the scentire changes with the season or sometimes Palmolive. If I fee like spoiling I'll buy then the Clean on Me too

I actually default on a daily basis to Sabun soap because of how gentle it is on my skin for the first time in my life I'm coming out of the shower without red itchy blotches. I recently also found Scully's glycerine soap to be really nice and I can use it more than once a week because it doesn't make my skin as blotchy. I do like Lush Rose Jam scentwise but the scent doesn't last on my once I rinse it off and because it does leave my sensitive skin rather dry and itchy, I don't use it often or other bodywashes for that matter.

Mumof3 it smells like Avobath bomb. I've not smelt avocado co-wash so don't know how they compare.

Nope, two different scent families mumof3 :-) although if Avo Co Wash was a shower gel I'd be all over it like white on rice OMG it is delightful!

I love the health basics I think it's called. You can get it from your local supermarket in different scents. My next go to is the Lux exfoliating body washes.

I use shower gel for bath. Befor I start to shower, I would prepare several things such as conditioner, shower gel, shower scrubber and shampoo. I haven't use bodywash before. How does that feel?

I love the pink bottle johnson and johnson body wash (not so yummy but soft skin)... and also the palmolive naturals milk and cherry blossom shower milk (smells nice) =).

Health and basics is also ok.. but i tend to enjoy the red and pink one’s more than the others =D.
