Lush Summer Shower Gel Go To's

According to the recent weather reports, the UK are about to be hit with a week long or possibly longer heatwave. We have been told that we could hit temperatures above 30 Degrees. This means, dealing with the heat can become a lot trickier with us needing to find more ways to keep ourselves cool. After going through my shower gel collection, I have chosen five shower gels that could help with dealing with the heat. As someone who doesn't like the heat too much, I'm always looking for a way to cool down. Baths can be considered too hot to have in warmer temperatures, so showering becomes more popular - with some of us (myself included) taking more than one shower a day! I have tried to include shower gels which are currently available but also some that featured recently in the kitchen - that some of you have been lucky to get your hands on. 

Summer Shower Gel Go To's

Happy Hippy Shower Gel 

Happy Hippy is a good shower gel in order to give you that get up and go in the morning, when those humid nights have plagued your sleeping pattern. Lush describe this shower gel as, "Get up, get started, get zest for success". This Fresh Pink Grapefruit Juice shower gel is definitely one of those shower gels that grace the shelf for your morning shower when you have busy days in the glorious sunshine. If you have trouble getting yourself motivated in morning, like myself and need something to wake you up and get you in the mood to brace the day - then this is the shower gel for you. On the other hand, if you shower or bath in the evening and you need a helping hand in cool down after a day in the boiling sun, then this will help your skin cool down, ready to embrace what could be another humid night. For this 100g bottle: £3.75.

Calacas Shower Gel 

Calacas is definitely an energising shower gel, which would get you ready for that all important Monday Morning Presentation. This Lush Kitchen exclusive is described by Lush as "Energising lime and neroli oil put you in the party mood." Again another peppy shower gel, ready to get you out in the sunshine and make some glorious memories. When showering with this is feels like you are pouring liquid gold over yourself and making you really want to sing in the shower. Again, if you are like me and tend you shower in the evening, then this will help aid the cooling of skin but also if you have slightly over done it in the sun and slightly burnt, with the Fresh Aloe Vera it will also aid in the healing of any accidental sunburn. For this 250g bottle: £10.25. 

Avoshower Shower Gel 

Avoshower is definitely the shower gel I find myself grabbing on these hot and humid days. The zesty scent of the Fresh Lemongrass Infusion will definitely be picking you up in the morning ready for the day in the sun and also cool you down in the evening when you have been sunned out. Lush describe this "Showers don't mean a thing if they ain't got that zing." You'll be definitely feeling that zing when you wake have woken up in the shower. Again, this is a brilliant one to use when the idea of getting up and getting in the shower is a drag. If you are feeling daring, and want to brave a bath in the heat, then definitely use this alongside Lush regular Avobath! Unfortunately, which disappoints me greatly is that this product is a Lush Kitchen exclusive. For this 250g bottle: £10.95. 

Grass Shower Gel

Grass well defiantly get you in the summer mood. With smelling exactly like freshly cut grass from more morning walk in the park with the dog. Lush describe this "that's like a roll in the hay or a walk through a summer morning wood." So, if you want to continue that fresh scent into your morning shower, then definitely pick up a bottle or two and quickly as unfortunately this is one of the products Lush is discontinuing, so stock up as soon as you can. With this product containing Wheatgrass, which is a good for giving your skin a load of enzymes, vitamins and minerals which will help with maintaining healthy skin - which is key in the summer with the exposure to the sun. For this 250g bottle: £9.95. 

Beautiful Shower Gel 

Beautiful is a Lush Oxford Street exclusive that is definitely a good one to add to cooling shower gel range. With its subtle Fresh Peach Juice, scent which is good for those who don't take well to strong citrus scents. Lush describe this "You've got to get up every morning with a smell on your face, With a little helping hand from this shower gel." Like it says on the bottle, this is your go to in the morning when you need that little extra push to get things started. Again, this shower gel will get you smiling and feeling beautiful as it feels like pouring liquid gold all over yourself as you start you day on the right foot. It is also a good choice when you want to keep that happy feeling going when you day has ended. For this 250g bottle: £9.50. 

These are my selection, that I am tending to reach for during this rare heatwave in the UK. I find these are all working a treat in order to keep myself cool, especially someone who doesn't take well to hot climates. I understand that to some other countries, who have normal seasons (in the UK this doesn't exist) I doesn't seem like it is boiling hot here, but for UK folk who are not use to such hot temperatures - it is boiling for us. 

Hope this was a helpful post :)
