Jen's Experience: I've been trying out two of Kiss My Face's new organic shower gels, "in the pink" and "sports complex", over the past month, and I would have to say I have some mixed emotions about these.

First off, the scent. It's very strong, and I guess that's good when I am trying to wake up in the morning, but...well, they're really just not my style. On the other hand, they do smell very clean, and the scent washes clean away, so there's no lingering aroma once the shower is complete. I don't think the scents are bad necessarily, but I do think that you should smell them before purchasing.

Secondly, I didn't find them to lather easily, even when I used a bath sponge. But, that said, I did feel clean when I showered with them. (Especially the "in the pink" flavor. The alpha hydroxy acids in that one give a nice tingle.) Plus, they didn't irritate my skin a bit, and instead left it feeling moisturized even after my shower as complete.

Can you see why I'm conflicted? I think I'd be thrilled with them if I loved the scents. If you see them in your local market, take a whiff. If you're into the scent, then you may be their newest fan.
