The Body Shop - Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash

How many times in your life have you tried a new face wash?
I must have tried countless different ones and have never been able to find one that I am happy with for a prolonged period of time so I always end up chopping and changing. I've tried everything from expensive to cheap and still nada!
My skin is generally combination, and I have open pores on my cheeks.



This face wash is oil free, and deep cleansing without being harsh on my skin. It manages to completely remove traces of make up and leave my skin feeling soft and mattified. 

It retails for £8.50 but there are also offers in The Body Shop and I am lucky enough to live near an outlet store where I stock up on a buy more, save more scheme. 
There are also other products in the Seaweed range including a pore refiner and a mattifying moisturiser which I am using at the moment.

The Body Shop - Hemp Mitt


I have been so crazy busy with work lately, that I really have not felt like blogging when I got home - thankfully I have luscious friends who are happy to share their thoughts on the latest products they have purchased too - particularly when they have some good things to say or if the product is not on everyone's radar.

Bethan kindly wrote this post for me so enjoy!!






 I recently purchased this hemp mitt from the body shop, retailing around £7.
I do love my fake tan, and I have found that body scrubs and miracle removers have not tended to agree with me, or removed as I would expect. Let's face it, the only real way to get rid of a fading fake tan is to scrub it off. So, I went in search of a helpful mitt and came across this.
Use this is the shower with some standard shower gel and hey presto, job done. It's great for smoothing your skin and can even improve your circulation, I'm not sure how great it is at reducing cellulite yet as I'm not a huge sufferer.
I have noticed due to the nature of the material the mitt does shrink, but can be pulled back into shape fairly easily.
A great little natural product from the body shop xx

The Body Shop Drench Sponge

Everyone wants a rich lather in the shower and to make the most out of their shower gel consumption right? 

Well look no further than the Body Shop's Drench Sponge! 


This little delight is the perfect accompaniment for bath time and your daily shower - it has similar properties to the classic sea sponge (hard when it's dry, soft and squidgy when wet) 

It isn't cheap at £7 but The Body Shop always have offers on. Definitely one to check out.

The Body Shop - Peppermint Smoothing Pumice Foot Scrub

So it's nearly the end of June, we have seen "Summer Solstice" come and go, and judging by the weather at the moment the two weeks of sunshine we saw at the beginning of this month may have been our entire Summer!


Despite the lack of sunshine in the UK, there are plenty of us off on our Summer holidays - and if not somewhere abroad then while at home the first glimpse of fine weather prompts us to bring out our sandals and flip flops. With this in mind it is important that we keep our feet in tip top condition. There is nothing worse than being stood behind someone on an escalator and looking at their dry cracked heels! Don't be that person!! To ensure that you aren't I believe I have found a great product in The Body Shop's Peppermint Smoothing Pumice Foot Scrub.

Now this product is very self explanatory just from it's name. It contains volcanic rock which deeply exfoliates and in turn smooth's the skin, much like a pumice stone would do.
It is highly fragranced with Peppermint - the classic scent for any kind of pedicure product and this leaves your feet smelling luscious and fresh.

The Body Shop advise to use the product after soaking feet in their Reviving Foot Soak, but I just used some bubble bath and was still impressed with the results. The product is almost gel like in consistency and is heavily packed with the exfoliating rock which means that a little goes a long way.
 However as someone who does not generally suffer with hard skin on my feet I wasn't really an ideal test subject to fairly test the results of the product, so I chose to offer my Step Mum a little pedicure and it is safe to say that she was also impressed, and three days after application her feet are still soft and smooth.

You can pick up this little tub of wonders from any Body Shop store or online for £7.00.

Now all we need is a little more sunshine.
