De one with Body Foam

Rain in the afternoon

What kinda body foam or shower gel do you used? I believe few people will pay little attention to it. In marketing, such products belong majorly to Convenient goods (like salt and sugar) in which little purchasing effort is needed. Well, for all you know, perhaps some purchasing effort is dedicated to the price which is part of the consumer buying decision process.

For me, through my past 21 years, I've used a range of body foam. Now, let's take some time to read this blog entry and get to know more...

I believe alot of us would agree we find the brand "Johnson's Baby" familiar. It was very popular product brand which is favourable for our mothers. It smells pleasant and ideal for usage on babies? Unexplainably, I guess it's the successful marketing strategy bah. I still remember the sweet smelling bathing foam. Love it when there's lots of bubbles. Apparantly, the rich yllowish shampoo too!

Of course, times have changed. Johnson's and Johnson's came up with this fruity bath for kids. For kids hor, not children. Kids sounds more trendy I supposed. Not forgetting, there was a favourable bath which incorporate the smell of peach. Nice.

Outgrown the Johnson's product, I started using Dettol shower form. I just love the antiseptic smell. Makes me feel refreshed and "free of germs".

Well, Dettol last for 2 years or 3 until this Japanese brand of body foam, Shokubutsu, was introduced during my late secondary years and JC. I love orange alot. It was the orange flavour which made me adopted the product. Furthermore, the after bath experience was pleasant. Your skin feels tighten and has a tinkling sensation. Hmm.. do you recognise the melodious theme of the advertisement?

After which, Shokubutsu came up with this "antibacterial" shower form. It was really the prefect bathing foam which I used during my BMT and SISPEC days. Without it, I guess I'd have smells like damped drain from all those perspiration-soaked uniforms.

After I got posted to battalion, I started to pursuit a new level of satisfaction for my body foam. Other than fulfilling just physiological needs, I wanted a body foam not just enabling me to be clean and feel comfortable. But to be pleasant smelling and to a more demanding extent, to yield healthy benefit for my skin.

That was when I started using the Men's shower gel from The Body Shop. It was pretty expensive. $19.90 for a small package which last you for a month. Cents-off pricing strategy.
However, it was the exculsive and manly smell of sandalwood and later, some a pleasant musculine-sweet effusion scent. It not only cleanse your body but leaves a lasting scent to make you feel euphonious.

I supposed after unemployment with SAF. I switched to using "less for same" valued products. I.e. getting a different brand of body foam which provides the same benefits, at a lower cost. Hehe.. I started using Adidas shower form for a while.. Then tried Protex. Currently, using Walch 500. It's ester smelling and delivers a cooling delight after showers. Just love all those body foams targeting for sportmens.

Recently, under the influence of my cousin's use of Lavender body foam. I purchased a bath foam from Marks and Spencers. Vanilla and Cocoa Butter. It helps calms and control my emotions. Previously, I was using Dove's.

Can you imagine, I am currently spolit of choice using a range of body foam. One for exfoliation: Ginvera Green tea with micro beads. Cleansing: Walch and Body Shop's "of a man". Scent and moisturising: Marks and Spencers' Vanilla and Cocoa Butter.

*blushes* and grin.
