Shower Scene

There really is no need to elaborate on the innate differences between men and women. You only have to look at their shower paraphernalia to see that there is indeed a great divide.

Here are my shower stuff.

And these are his.

Notice the overwhelming disparity between our products?

What really bothers me is that those products are already pared down because I left so much more in my parents' house (i.e. body scrubs, hair mask, face mask etc). That's already my version of a streamlined collection of products.

My go-to bath time products, in no particular order, are:

Johnson's Baby Shampoo, Pantene Anti-Dandruff and Sunsilk

I always have a bottle of Johnson's Baby Shampoo  on hand because it  doubles as a makeup brush cleaner. I rarely use it  on its own though and usually have to pair it with a conditioner because used by itself, it leaves my hair feeling dry and crunchy.

I used to be a big Head and Shoulders fan, but when I saw that Pantene had its own anti-dandruff shampoo, I immediately made the big switch because Pantene for me is the top drugstore shampoo. And now it even had an anti-dandruff variant so goodbye menthol candy smelling hair and hello glam smelling locks!

Somebody left this bottle of Sunsilk shampoo in my old bathroom so I scooped it up because it smells amazing. It has yogurt which I don't know  how it's supposed to help hair, but I guess that's what makes it extra sudsy.

Olive Shampoo and Conditioner

My cousin left these behind when she left for Cebu (and ultimately Fiji) because of baggage restrictions. I'm glad she did though because, again, they smell great and do not give me flakes. I also love the pump bottle, it feels so parlor-ish.

Dove Body Wash, Johnson's Milk Bath and Pure Fiji Body Scrub

The Dove Body Wash actually feels more like shampoo than a body wash, maybe that's why it hydrates skin like crazy, making body lotions optional. And it smells fantastic! The Go Fresh variety was such a big help when summer was at its craziest.

I know it says "Top to Toe Wash" on the bottle, but that's really filled with Milk Bath. Again, I like the pump bottle and how can you go wrong with bathing in milk right?

The Pure Fiji body scrub is another hand me down from my cousin (dang those baggage restrictions!) and it's the most luxurious and most fragrant bath product I have ever tried. I dread the day when it runs out because this isn't available locally. I presume someone out there in Fiji will know what to get me when she comes back to the Philippines? :)

Cetaphil, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer, PanOxyl Acnegel

I tend to stick to the basics when it comes to my face, my years of battling acne has taught me to lay off from too much products because they might just cause an unpleasant reaction.

My facial wash is Cetaphil then I treat existing spots with benzoyl peroxide, finally, I slather on sunblock before heading out the door.

So do I have too much products or does he just have too little? I think I'll go with the latter:p
