Bath and Body Works Sun-Washed Citrus Shower Gel Review

As the summertime winds down, it is time for me to review my fragrances and body washes in order to see which scents I want to continue to use or not. Since I live in Arizona, the summer heat will continue for a while longer. This gives me more time to enjoy my summer fragrances even more!

Over the past few months, I have been trying to calm a major eczema breakout down. It is originally caused by my allergies (Yes, my allergies are truly that bad) so management has been focused on using products that are hypoallergenic. Even though I have been really good about introducing new products that will help my eczema.

Unfortunately, the body wash I was using turned out to have an ingredient I’m allergic to. So, I switched to a Bath and Body Wash with scent notes that don’t bother me. This turned out to be Sun-Washed Citrus. I purchased a bottle during the Winter 2023 Semi-Annual Sale. (You can read the post about it here) It has my old favorite notes, citrus, and is a formula my skin is used to being exposed to. (I was using Bath and Body Wash shower gels prior to my break out, but I discontinued using them due to my search for any products with allergens) So, I began to use it.

As I write this post, I am almost finished with my bottle of it. Since summer is nearing it’s end (Or at least that’s what the stores and their home decor section makes it feel like) I wanted to write a post about this shower gel and the fragrance.

The fragrance notes are sugared lemons, mandarin, and agave nectar.

First, I love this fragrance! It’s been a while (Years) since I used a new scent from Bath and Body Works’ normal line (Not their Aromatherapy) that I absolutely love. This fragrance I love. It is fruity yet not overpowering. It is the perfect balance of citrus based notes and has no heavy base notes. I will admit, at first I was worried about it because it has lemon and orange scents in it, but it worked really well. The agave nectar also works as a really pretty base note.

As you can imagine, I highly recommend this scent. It is a beautiful citrus scented body wash for the summer months. It is light, contains no heavy notes (Such as musk), and wears well on the skin. That being said, I know there will be people who will not be able to wear this type of scent. This scent is not for people who don’t like citrus scents. It is also probably not going to work for anyone looking for a scent with heavier base notes. And finally, this scent is not part of Bath and Body Work’s normal line. It was available during the Winter 2023 Semi Annual Sale. This will make finding it difficult. Still, if anyone is very interested in searching for it, I highly recommend it!

That’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
