Body wash. Shower gel. Tub lube (okay, maybe not that last one).

Whatever you call it, the liquid you use in conjunction with your flannel or loofah is one of the very few grooming products society insists you keep in rotation, no matter what. Alongside deodorant and an SPF moisturiser , body wash (or an equivalent soap ) is one of the grooming products you'll buy most often in your life. Getting it right, then, is of vital importance.

Sure, you could grab any old Alberto Balsam from the supermarket, or (if you're feeling particularly evil) cadge a little bit of your other half's expensive shampoo , but such a practice isn't showing much respect to yourself or the hundreds of people dedicated to creating elite shower gels. As such, we've taken it upon ourselves to scope out some of the most luxurious for you. Whether you're on the hunt for something extra kind to your skin or you simply hope to switch up your current model so as to swerve nose blindness, you've come to the right place.
