The London best: Wake-me-up shower gels

 
1/5

The nights are drawing in and it’s becoming more difficult to get out of bed. Here are our five favourites to put some power into your shower and have you bounding out of the door.

Natural high

We can’t stop smelling Liz Earle’s delicious lotions and potions. This one has pure plant extracts and sweet orange with eight essential oils to delicately fragrance, as well as a damask rose base. Energising body wash, £8.50, uk.lizearle.com

Lucky cow

Packed with lemongrass, ginger and rosemary, Cowshed’s energising mix never fails to perk us up. It doubles as a great bubblebath. British cow invigorating bath and shower gel, £16, cowshedonline.com

Super hydration

A blend of zingy tropical fruits with wheat proteins that protect the skin, balancing out the moisture levels. This gel from the Greek beauty gurus at Korres will leave you feeling like a god (or goddess). Guava showergel, £8, korres.com

Botanical beauty

A nicely scented gel in a pretty minimalist bottle. It’s not too floral, making it just about suitable for blokes too. Geranium leaf body cleanser, £15, aesop.com

Pulp friction

This one has the citrus tang of oranges and lemons as well as peppermint oil to galvanise you into action. There’s some pumice in there too to leave skin silky-smooth. Foamy fruity body scrub, £8, soapandglory.com
