MY EXPEIENCE:

PACKAGING: avon naturals body care strawberry and guava shower gel comes in a plastic hard container with a flip and press lid. At first i was having a bad time closing the lid since i was applying pressure on the wrong area and then my friend told me to press the middle part of the lid to get it closed. The whole container body is covered with a plastic printed cover which i felt is sturdy enough. It is travel friendly but you have to make sure that the lid is properly closed. It is hygenic to use.

SHADE, CONSISTENCY AND TEXTURE: avon naturals strawberry and guava shower gel is kind of transparent with a pinkish tinge. Its a gel which flows easily and is not too thick and the texture is also light and it tends to spread easily. Once poured on a loofah and used, it does not necessarily produce a lot of foam but glides on smoothly over the skin.

FRAGRANCE: I particularly remember its smell very much because its very pleasant. It has a strong strawberry smell combined with fragrance of guava. i also got a faint pineapple smell from it. the fragrance is lingering enough till i put on my moisturizer.

RESULTS: i used the shower gel thrice before writing the review about it. Since it has a thin texture, it washes off easily, you can also use it without the loofah. It feels satin soft on skin but after it dries up, it kind of leaves a dry feeling on the skin. It is not good enough for deep cleansing. Its recommended for daily use but not if you are looking for deep dirt cleansing. I personally have dry skin so i avoid using products with sodium laureth sulfate because it tends up to dry skin but this product is really good as a shower gel and a good product to use after hot humid day at work. It made my skin soft and supple with improvement in the texture.My skin feels really good  but what feels even better is its fragrance on my skin. I just cant get enough of it!

PROS:

1. packaging is decent and travel friendly.

2.awesome strawberry fragrance.

3.attractive texture and colour, gives a fresh feel.

4.makes skin feel smooth and supple.

5.removes dirt and pollution from body.

3.the flip cap needs getting used to!

MY FINAL THOUGHTS: Avon naturals body care strawberry and guava shower gel lives up to my expectations and it is a good buy for a shower gel.

ATR RATING: 4/5

ATR recommendation: I would definitely recommend this to everyone with every skin type though its best for oily skin.
