Summer Skincare - Get Ready for the Sun!

OK.....so the sun has been a bit shy so far this year, but that doesn't mean that we can't start preparing our skin for when it finally does appear.  In order to prepare our bodies for a natural, even tan, we need to start with the basics.  Why not try one of our luxurious body polishes, to soften, exfoliate, revitalize, tone and moisturize your skin, to give you a professional spa experience in your own home. 

There are two main ways to use a scrub. You can either use the scrub dry before you get into the shower or you can use the scrub after you have already cleansed yourself and are still in the shower. The residue is rinsed off as the product is used. The skin is patted dry afterwards to allow any protectives oils remaining to seal in the moisture.

We have three 100% natural body scrubs, each created to relax, de-stress and detox the entire body.

Relax Body Polish - £10.99
Our exquisitely scented Relax Body Polish will exfoliate the skin and restore natural radiance. With pure Coconut and Jojoba Oils to hydrate and soothe the skin and natural cane sugar to gently exfoliate, leaving silky soft, gently moisturised skin. Blended with premium essential oils of Bergamot and Geranium to restore balance and Lavender to soothe.

Fatigue Relief Body Polish - £10.99
A deliciously scented Body Polish to exfoiliate and restore the skin's natural radiance. With pure Coconut and Jojoba Oils to hydrate and natural cane sugar to gently exfoliate. With Lemongrass and Grapefruit to awaken the senses and Geranium for its soothing and comforting character. The blend is finished with a Sweet Orange oil to stimulate circulation and help reduce cellulite.

Detox Body Polish - £10.99
Our beautifully scented Body Polish to exfoiliate and restore the skin's natural radiance. With pure Coconut and Jojoba Oils to hydrate and natural cane sugar to gently exfoliate.

Spotlight On: Tea Tree and Mint Foot Spray

Tea Tree & Mint Foot Spray £5.99 for 100ml

With the hot weather now upon us (for a while, at least) one area that seems suffer from the heat the most is our feet.  Unfortunately, we can't all wear flip flops to work  but, a great way to soothe and refresh those hot, tired and heavy feet is by using this cooling aromatherapy foot spray. The crisp, rejuvenating power of Mint is blended with pure Tea Tree for a treatment that leaves the feet feeling energised, comfortable and ready for action!  Not only does it instantly cool your feet down, it naturally deodorises and freshens to help reduce any nasty odours.  (Top Tip:  It can also be used to refresh shoes too!)

We also have a whole range of Tea Tree products, from Shower Gels to Handwashes all beautifully scented and with the refreshing and antibacterial properties of Tea Tree.
