Review - Champneys watermint shower gel

As soon as Boots started stocking Champney's the Watermint fragranced products caught my eye. They smelt fresh and in a weird way good enough to eat!

(Sorry for the stock photo, I'm sure I took one myself but can I find it?!?)

I expected to get a similar shower experience to what I get using Original Source's mint and tea tree shower gel but when I used the Champneys shower gel I wasn't overwhelmed with a fresh mint fragrance. Instead I got a weak mint scent which didn't last on my skin. The product itself was a thick gel and was a little difficult to get out of the tube. It did foam up quite well which I like and it did leave my skin feeling clean.

This costs £6 for a 200ml tube and I don't think I would buy it again as there are cheaper shower gels that I prefer. Oh and it's exclusive to Boots.

Champneys now at Boots!

 

Founded in the 1980's Champneys is the UK's finest spa brand and in 2004 they released a set of products so that we could experience that spa feeling in our own homes. These were exclusively available at Sainsburys but now Boots have gained exclusivity to the range which means it's products are becoming more accessible to those of us who don't have a Sainsburys near by.

For those of you (and myself) who haven't seen the Champney's range here is a quick round up of the different ranges and products which they do.
