I don’t really like the mint and tea tree body wash these days.
After years of using multipack soap bars in cardboard I saw the recycled plastic bottle and thought to try it again… the smell isn’t too overwhelming but it’s weirdly moisturising with the feeling of a residue and even on a loofah or puff it doesn’t actually clean you well?
Using it up as shampoo on my hair.
Could be they might’ve changed the formula since you last used it? I noticed a few things in my usage of things whether moisturiser or whatever the one item that worked so well a company will just up and change the formula, screwing up the customers who liked their product before the change. I wonder if this might be the case for you?
Yes, they keep changing things.
The deodorant I used for years is now scented despite claiming not to be, and even then it’s much less effective. The sunscreen moisturiser I used for decades began causing breakouts and hives and now the replacement is too.
They’ve changed this shower gel to something overly gentle and slimy.
Yeah you’re going to want to stop using that shower gel. That makes even MY skin crawl when you said it’s slimy. Shower gels have no rights to being slimy. They’re supposed to be gel like hence the name 🤦♀️
ti tree is so over rated as a natural remedy and I just can't stand the smell of it, it's too over powering for me,
