If you love fresh, zesty citrus based bath and body products, the Korres Lemon Basil range is something you must check out. Korres describes it as a "fresh spice with a vibrant touch of lemon zest".
Korres Basil Lemon Shower Gel ($19.50) - Slightly moisturizes, cleanses really really well! I did find the scent of the shower gel to be really strong initially, but it does fade quite fast. There's a ton of lather and it cleanses skin really well, without leaving it begging for moisturizer afterwards. Since I have dry skin on my body, I quite like to follow up with a lotion or a body butter. The shower gel is rather concentrated and I still haven't finished even half of what I started using a good month or so back. It is a tad more expensive than quite a lot of shower gels but there's also a lot more product in there for the price. If you like zingy, fresh, anything citrus in your bath, the Basil Lemon shower gel is a great pick. It does have sulfates though, so if you are looking for something sans sulfates, this might not be it. I would probably try other shower gel variants from Korres and come back to this one in the summer!
Korres Basil Lemon Body Butter ($29) - A scented, moisturizing body butter that keeps skin soft and moisturized for about 5-6 hours. It is a tad light for a body butter and the super fresh scent lingers around for a really long time, especially when layered after the shower gel. The textue isn't too thick, spreads easily and doubles up as a wonderful hand cream too. It has sweet almond oil, shea butter and avocado oils to nourish skin. I love how there's absolutely no greasiness or tacky residue from this body butter. If you are looking for a heavy duty moisturizer, this may not be it. But, if you like body butters that you can use all through the year, without the heavy feel, this one is worth looking into!
Both the Shower Gel and the Body Butter are formulated without Parabens, Synthetic Dyes, Petrochemicals, Pthalates and Triclosan.
Available at all Sephora stores and online at sephora.com.

These are probably 2 of my favorites from Korres. The body butter is so moisturizing and the shower gel is just perfect for a good wash without drying out the skin.
ReplyDeleteI know! I am going to try the Jasmine variant they have next!
DeleteI looooooooooved the smell of that body butter, although I agree with you that it's not incredibly moisturizing - I wouldn't even call that a butter!
ReplyDeleteI know, it smells amazing! It is kinda like a heavy body lotion :)
