Soap Products According to the brains at Soap & Glory, after using the Firminator All-over Intensive Body Contouring

Gel (￡10, www.boots.com) for 56 days, twice a day, on an area of your body that’s more flab than fab, you’ll notice that

the area is firm and toned. Does it work? I’ll tell you in 49 days, but I can say it glides on super-smoothly, and contains

cooling menthol, to leave skin soft and fresh.Designed to give curls a pick-me-up during the day, Mop’s C-System C-Curl

Refreshing Spray (￡12.95, 01282 613413), mists on evenly and doesn’t leave hair crispy or greasy. Its anti-static formula

helps to fight frizz and leave hair bouncier between washes. It’s perfect to carry in your handbag to counteract summer’s

humidity.Sweet, rich and silky, Philosophy’s Carrot Cake Shampoo, Shower Gel and Bubble Bath (￡14.50, 0870 9908452) is

decadent and moisturising. The best thing about being three-in-one, though, is that it means you can wash your hair in the

bath, without bathing in shampoo or washing your hair in bath oil.Pure fruit in a bottle, the Energy C Grapefruit Series 8

eau de toilette (￡29, Comme des Gar?ons, 020-7518 0680) packs a zesty punch. With grapefruit, petitgrain and neroli, it’s

bright and citrussy without being overpowering. It wakes you up when applied on sunny mornings, but gradually softens

throughout the day.
