When it comes to fragrance, it doesn't get much more delectable than Lalicious' take on shower oil — especially if you go with the Brown Sugar Vanilla variety. It's a true treat for the senses, and here's a bonus: It also doubles as the most relaxing bubble bath ever.
After making a major splash with its inclusive (and cheeky) ad campaign, it's safe to say that Glossier's first body wash truly lives up to the hype. It comes in a convenient (and let's be honest, Instagram-worthy) pump container and the emollient formula sudses up to a satisfyingly creamy foam. A must, especially for Glossier devotees.
This ultra-gentle shower oil is absolutely perfect for dry winter skin. Though it's moisturizing and soothing, it won't leave a greasy residue on your skin (or your tub).
Thanks to the almond oil in the formula, this shower oil smells like a fancy French macaron, which automatically makes it a winner in our book. The texture is quite thick and emollient and the gentle light foam is so soothing. There's a reason why this is a cult favorite.
