    Absolutely not! For one, if you buy in a supermarket no one will know for whom you are buying.

    I like Dove and use Dove shower cream - this leaves your skin nice and silky. Sanex products are authorised by the British Skin Foundation so perhaps you can contact the latter. I haven't tried Sanex but intend to do so when my Dove shower cream runs out, as they are supposedly cheaper.

  • Yes - I use Dove bar soap to wash my hands - it’s the only one that doesn’t make my hands dry. I use it in the shower, and Johnson’s Baby Shampoo for my hair, and then at the end of my shower I’ll use a little bit of Neals Yard Bee Lovely shower gel because it smells so nice. It’s expensive though so I only use it at the end of my shower  (and then a bottle of it lasts for ages). 

  • faith in nature unscented shampoo is another good option for low scent and good conditioning. it's often on sale for £5 which is not too bad
