\nI hate it when a long-time favourite product stops being produced. Especially when it comes to cosmetics. They’re close to my body, and they have scents, and the scent matters a lot to to me. I find it really difficult to deal with “bad” scents – too strong, too sharp, too artificial. And entirely unperfumed cosmetics have a kind of chemical smell of their own, which I also dislike.<\/p>\n

I’m on my second body wash crisis. First I used Palmolive Almond & Honey. When I noticed it getting harder and harder to find, I bought a pile and stashed them in the basement, which gave me a few years to find a replacement. Then I found Apoteket’s body wash with Almond & Argan Oil. When this one disappeared, it was sudden. One day I went to the pharmacy to buy more; they had none, and it was also out of stock online.<\/p>\n

Panic.<\/p>\n

I bought the least offensive body wash I found at the pharmacy. It seemed OK when I sniffed at it, but in actual use I really disliked it. Then I tried another almond-scented body wash (from Weleda) but where the others were soft and mild, this one was like getting a blast of bitter almond extract in my face. Horrible.<\/p>\n

Today I spent a long while at \u00c5hlens, sniffing different kinds of body wash. Most of them sucked. Finally I had to ask the staff for help, and they helped me find a few that were… less bad. Now I’ll try them out and pick one, and then hope that it doesn’t go out of production soon. Which I don’t actually have high hopes for, given that these are fancy branded stuff, unlike the ones I used before. This sucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
