Energize Your Shower With Orange And Ginger By Laurel1 on Dec 14, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I'm not a morning person. Coffee isn't enough, and a rush of hot water alone won't get me going. But Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Orange Ginger Energizing Body wash in my shower is just the kick I need to jumpstart a busy day.

The label tells me that "Italian Orange essential oil is at its best when matched with fresh, stimulating Ginger" and after using this body wash, I think they're on to something. This is no soothing relaxing wash to ease you into your day; the orange is not overly sweet, and the ginger adds a special tang that will seep through your pores and right into your soul, waking you up to the many possibilities of the new day ahead.

Although the ginger has a kick, the body wash still manages to leave my skin soft and smooth, and ready for a moisturizer; conveniently, they make one in the same scent. Now if they could just add a shampoo and conditioner to the line, my morning would be complete.

With a reasonable price tag ($13.00 for 10 fluid ounces), natural and gentle ingredients, and a sking-softening finish, the Bath & Body Works Orange Ginger Aromatherapy Body Wash gets a 5 star rating, any morning of the week.
