There’s so many different types of products that can be used to clean the skin on our bodies. Bars of soap, body washes, shower gels, there’s lots to choose from on the market. What I don’t see everywhere on the high street is whipped soaps. I’ve only ever purchased them from small businesses and my latest one came from Glow. Included in their October’s Subscription Box, was Rainbow Reef Whipped Soap.
Why did I use this?
It’s getting a little colder and my skin needed a more moisturising experience in the shower. Not only that, but I find whipped soaps to be a simple, quick but pampering experience which my body needs right now!
What’s a whipped soap?
A whipped soap is used to clean the body in the bath and/or shower. It literally is a whipped soap, soft, light, not solid, and should be an effective cleanser but moisturising at the same time.
The look
Rainbow Reef Whipped soap is a beautiful shade of light blue with darker speckles of blue running through it. In the pot it looks like the consistency of whipped cream. You can see how it literally has been pipped into it’s packaging which makes it look almost edible.
Fragrance
This has an almost mineral base to this. Clean, fresh but slightly sweetened with a hint of citrus. This is beautifully scented and wouldn’t be offensive to anyone.
Texture
I expected this to be softer but it actually has a nice density to it which I like. It is soft, it definitely is whipped but holds its shape which meant it was easy to use.
In the bath
I used this while in the bath. A small amount of Rainbow Reef Whipped Soap was placed on a sponge and I rubbed it over my damp skin. The fragrance was intoxicating, which made using this really enjoyable. I found the soap almost melted into the sponge when damp, and on the skin created a cream like foam. Not airy bubbles at all but creamy. My skin is still a little irritated at the moment but this gave me no issues at all.
This was very easy to wash off and left my skin feeling very clean and lightly fragranced. It wasn’t dried out at all and I felt it worked as an effective body cleanser.
Recommended?
It’s took me a long time to get into using whipped soaps because I just didn’t understand them. Why not use a bar of soap or a bath/shower gel? I don’t have that opinion anymore, obviously. What I like about Glow’s Rainbow Reef is the look of it is appealing, the fragrance is stunning, the texture is perfect and it does what it’s designed to do! It cleans the skin on the body in a pampering way and doesn’t dry out the skin. Why would I NOT recommend this?
These whipped soaps are available to purchase individually for £4.95 for 100g. They also come in a variety of fragrances such as Rainbow Reef, Strawberry, Bubblegum and Pineapple Coconut Vanilla. To grab Rainbow Reef (or any others), head over to the website and I dare you not to be tempted by all their bath and body treats!
