BATH OILS & MILKS<br />
Baths are the Holy Grail of relaxation. Indulge in scents such as<br />
lavender, honey, vanilla, rose or jasmine to soothe the senses after a<br />
long day at work. Use a bath oil to indulge in a night of aromatherapy,<br />
or a bubble bath for mid-week decadence.<br />
A soothing bath is a proven mood elevator and relaxation activity<br />
to help prevent muscle injury and aches, and has long been used for<br />
internal healing therapy in Roman, Greek, Egyptian and Japanese<br />
bathhouses. Blended essential oils are defi nitely not a lost art and<br />
are still used to relieve pressure points of tenseness and stress,<br />
even cold and fl u symptoms.<br />
Milk has also been a body beautifi er for centuries, used by kings<br />
and queens to keep them looking as youthful as possible. Bath milk<br />
lightly moisturises the whole body and blankets the skin with nutrients.<br />

EXFOLIATORS<br />
Body scrubs are a great way to get rid of dry<br />
skin and get the blood circulating around the<br />
body. Sea salt body scrubs prime the skin for<br />
moisturisers by removing dead skin cells and dirt<br />
particles, ensuring that the active components<br />
of the product are deeply penetrated into the<br />
layers of the skin.<br />
No time for a total body scrub session?<br />
Chemical exfoliators contain mild acids that<br />
remove dead skin cells, creating a slight tingling<br />
sensation on application that only lasts a few<br />
minutes. Scents in exfoliating creams are often<br />
activated as they are applied to the skin – which<br />
make for an energising start to a slow winter<br />
morning.<br />
Exfoliation is an important part of rejuvenating<br />
the skin (not to mention imperative for winter<br />
faux-tan prep). Whichever exfoliator you use,<br />
make sure to follow it up with a moisturiser for<br />
skin that is soft and smooth.<br />
