Neutrogena Rainbath Shower & Shave Body Wash – Foamy, Yummy, And Moisturizing – Finally, the Real Deal….
Oh my gawd (I have to say this in my Boston accent)…this product is yummy. First, I have to make an admission. My shower and bath are lined with shower gels and scrubs of all shapes, sizes, smells, colors and consistencies. Finding a great shower gel is a passion because you not only need to have the right combination of consistency and smell, but you also have to determine how it’s making your skin feel at the end of the day.
Honestly, as much as I love ALL of these products and will probably never be cured of my addiction to bath and shower products, I have to say – that – I’ve never really come out of the shower with my skin feeling softer than when I went in. I suffer from horrible eczema, and very sensitive and allergic skin…I mean, my skin is really really dry and icky scaly in the winter time. I can’t wait for the summer only because the humidity finally gives me a little bit of relief. When I use my usual combination of shower gels – the same thing always happens. About an hour or two after I shower, my skin begins to dry and flake. By the end of the day it’s scaly. I mean, it’s gross! Because that is what soap actually does – no matter how you slice it, soap dries the skin.
Not so with Neutrogena shower gel. First, when I found out that I would be able to review this product, I was excited. You see, I’ve got a long history with this product. In fact, I have been a fan of Neutrogena products since the 1980s. When I saw the first commercial about Neutrogena soap, I rushed to the pharmacy to buy it because my skin is sensitive, and Neutrogena was specifically formulated to be non-allergenic. Started using the facial soap then and still love it to this day. So, I’m a huge fan.
However I had never, ever even tried the Neutrogena Rainbath Shower and Bath Gel. Well, I think I’m addicted. This morning I showered and used the gel for shaving. Not only does is smell yummy and feel great but it’s an amazing shaving gel (and I don’t even use shaving gel—like, ever!!) but it leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft. After my shower, I did apply my usual non-allergenic moisturizer to my dry winter legs (which I do every day). However it is now 12 plus hours since I showered and my legs are still moist, not dry, not flaky and they actually feel softer than ever before! I believe this is because the gel has a unique blend of spices, herbs and fruits to moisturize and clean…and yet miraculously it leaves no heavy residue. The ads for the product say that your skin is left in better condition – feeling smooth, soft and renewed—and this is absolutely the truth.
The fragrant scent provides you with a clean burst that awakens your senses and refreshes your entire body. The gel has a rich moisturizing lather that rinses clean, Neutrogena Rainbath® Revitalizing Shower & Bath Gel softens and conditions skin without any leave-behind residue. Enjoy a refreshing light fragrance of grapefruit and natural herbs as you wash yourself clean! http://www.neutrogena.com
