The Body Shop Passion Fruit Cleansing Gel

When you move house there are many things that tend to happen. You have to pay out loads of your hard earned spondoolies to solicitors. You have to pack everything up, thus discovering many things you no longer knew you had and suddenly decide you absolutely have to keep. You argue with your partner about who made that crucial nudge that knocked over the vase that bounced on the floor and smashed, spraying the cat, and any small children in the locality, with glass. Your intentions to leave the house spotless for the next occupants are toned down somewhat when you realise how long it’s going ... more

A BS classicI’ve been writing lots of reviews recently of Body Shop skincare products as I bought quite a lot of products when the shop was selling all its face scrubs and washes for half price! Of all the bits I bought, I had never used any of them before, but this was the one exception...

As this is an older Body Shop product, I would say it has a more classic feel than some of the newer products, and the packaging has a bit of ... more

Last year the Body Shop brought back a range of products they called 'Anita's Favourites' (Anita referring to the late Anita Roddick, founder of the Body Shop) which are products that were around in the 80's and early 90's.

I have been using the Body Shop's Passion Fruit cleansing gel for about five years now and I don't think I would ever use something else (except if my skin type changed). If you have oily skin this just has to be the best rinse off cleanser you can get. I usually go for more expensive cosmetic brands, but ever since I was given some as part of a gift, I haven't stopped using it. Its a fresh smelling gel, doesn't lather much, but leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean. I have been going on about it for years and recently, when a friend tried it, she said it was the best one she'd ever tried and ... more
