I LOVE the Bath and Body works Mango mandarin body lotion. Now for some reason i can tollerate that scent, yet i have trouble with the others. I usually add some water to it which dilutes the smell but if i dont add the water i still dont have any problem with that particular scent. The warm vanilla sugar is the worst for me. That scent is very nice , but bothers the crap out of my sinus's and lungs. I remember years ago being in the hospital and my nurse came in and i could smell that scent ( warm vanilla sugar) a mile away and she told me she always uses that after her shower. I could not wait till she left the room. Aveeno is great !! My boss gave me a bottle of it a while back and i loved it !!

Jason Natural Cosmetics makes body washes that smell good and don't make my nose run/eyes water. I also use the shampoo and conditioner. Vitamin Shoppe sells it. I buy scented soaps and scented body scrub at Trader Joes also. The mildest bubble bath I've found is Bath and Bodyworks Vanilla scented stuff. My favorite (and only) frangrance is Stila Creme Bouquet. Dr. Bronners peppermint soap is refreshing in the summer and Kiss My Face olive oil soap is good for winter.

I discovered <i>Italian Bath & Bo</i>dy on HSN a few years ago and get the <i>Oliverium</i> on Auto-Ship, both the shower wash and the body cream. I love it. It is soooo moisturizing and has a nice clean smell. I used to use their Shea Butter w/ Almond but they've changed that recently and I discontinued it.

Probably my all-time favorite <i>Pre de Provence Peppermint Bath & Shower Gel.</i> It's hard to find, but the Peppermint is just MAGIC when you have a sinus headache or migraine like I HAVE RIGHT NOW! It's hard to find in stores, but I just found it online and want to order some after Christmas if I dont' get any. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

For 5 years now i have only been washing with, wait for it: old fashioned GREEN SUNLIGHT BAR SOAP. Yes, very unglamorous but I have been converted. On the odd occasion I have used other soap or shower gel i noticed 2 things: first my skin dries out instantly and my face gets this tight feeling, and secondly my armpits start stinking within 2 hours (when you can smell yourself you know its bad!). I guess my skin reacts to the normal scented chemical stuff. I heard about a dermatologist recommending this soap for people with breakouts as it cleans your skin but it isn't harsh and damaging. Just to be clear, its the old fashioned rectangular block of green soap they used for washing clothes etc, not the regular round white/pink kind and NOT the dishwashing liquid lol. It is totally unscented, and just smells like, well sunlight bar soap. A plus point is its dirt cheap and multipurpose, if you go on holiday you can wash everything with the same soap! (does anyone actually know what I'm talking about, or don't you get this in the US? )

Edited to add:
Ok, i just googled it out of interest and it actually seems like you <i>don't</i> get it in the US anymore. I did find a NZ site that sells the stuff online, don't know if they ship internationally.

</a>Nonetheless, the point of the post was that what works for me is a very bland, unscented, mild soap.
