\"review<\/p>\n

So, when I read how popular the Korres Guava shower gel <\/strong>is, I picked up a bottle on one of my StrawberryNET.com<\/a> purchases. Korres is a Greek brand and has a bit of a cult following.<\/p>\n

I imagined that Guava would smell nice. I like the smell of Guava – I like eating it too \ud83d\ude00 But I’m afraid I did not like the Korres Guava shower gel.<\/p>\n

Why did no one ever mention that it smells of coconut?!<\/p>\n

I do not like the smell of coconut in anything – be it food or body products. Bah! Granted, they do say that it has a tropical scent but I’m really tired of anything with a “tropical scent” smelling of coconut \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

As a shower gel, it does its job. Cleans your skin yet does not dry it out. I do believe however, that it is a little too abrasive for my hands. They are starting to peel and by now I realize that when the skin on my hands start to peel, its a sign there’s too much abrasive detergent in a product. I just realised that just these two weeks alone, I featured 3 products that made my hand react to the ingredients in them by drying out and peeling. One is a natural product<\/a>, one is haircare<\/a> and another is this. I don’t know what is the common factor that’s causing my problem and it drives me nuts!<\/p>\n

\"korres<\/p>\n

\n

Pros: <\/strong>Cleans skin, Isn’t drying on body, Thick cream is lush<\/p>\n

Cons: <\/strong>Too abrasive on my hands, Smells of coconut (a pro if you like coconut)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But coconut! How did a guava smell of coconut?!<\/p>\n

At US$12.50 its not cheap. For something that smells of coconut \ud83d\ude1b Have you tried any Korres shower gels or other Korres products? Is there any you’d recommend? \ud83d\ude42 Perhaps I got a dud \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Korres is not available in Malaysia at time of writing. I purchased this for US$12.50 online on StrawberryNET.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
