Taking a nice long soak in the bath after a long, dull day of work is easily one of the nicest and most relaxing feelings there is and as we own a fair few bath time beauty products, we thought we would share them with you.
The first thing we do on a pamper evening is take our make-up off so our
skin can soak up all the steam and general loveliness from the bath.
We like to use the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish for this. We
have used many hot cloth cleansers before but we always end up coming back to
this, it is just the best hot cloth cleanser we have ever used and we would
highly recommend it to everyone, it isn't oily or drying so it suits all
skin types, and it isn't too pricey which without doubt is a bonus, we just love it. We then use a toner, we
like to use the Caudalie Grape Water, and this is really lovely
as most Caudalie stuff is, it smells nice, it's cheap and it does its job.
After we've removed all our make-up we start running a bubbly bath, this is when we add our chosen bath products, these are things like bath bombs, bath melts, bath salts and bubble bath/bars. We have thought long and hard about our favourite bath products and have narrowed it down to these.

Bath bomb - Lush Twilight this is good if your have trouble
sleeping and it has an incredible smell!
Bath Melt - Lush You've been mangoed this is perfect for
making your skin feel super soft and we love the name.
Bath Salts - Fig+Yarrow Pink Love Salts this has a
lovely scent that is the balance of fruity and floral also it has such a cute
tub.
Bubble bath - L'occitane Verbena Foaming Bath this product
always leaves our skin feeling smooth, soft and clean. It smells lemony and
fresh and it lasts for ages.
This was a little odd at first as it
comes in a powder and you have to add the water yourself, but once we got used
to it, we really started enjoying it. The fact that it's organic makes it even
more enjoyable as we know we're not putting a load of horrible
chemicals on our skin. If our skin is really dry (this tends to happen in the
colder, more miserable weather) we use the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Oatmeal Mask.
We like this but can sometimes find it too moisturizing but
every once in a while we will use this for a
super skin moisturizing session. The
hair mask we use is Tigi S Factor Serious conditioner.
Once we've done
all that, we eventually get in the bath. We sometimes like to read a book or
magazine but most of the time we just sit and soak it up, you know what we
mean. It's also lovely to light a candle and have a big glass of water with
ice.
When we get out of the bath, we wash off
our masks and moisturize using a Korres Jasmine Body Butter (this is a floral
scent, but it also has fruitiness to it and we think it also
has Shea in it, this product is perfect for dry skin and sinks in
quite quickly). Finally, we might paint our nails;
use our night time skin/face care, which we will do a post on that some other
time (if you want).
Well that was a long
post, thank you if you read this far!
Cheerio
