Skin Spa...

This past few weeks the weather has been gorgeous and while us humans love to get outside and soak up the beautiful sun rays before we are cursed yet again with rain, we really do have to remember our skin! It goes without saying.. SUN CREAM! I had an awful, awful experience with sun burn a few years ago, and I have been scared - physically and emotionally *slightly dramatic* - ever since! Sun cream! Sun cream! Sun cream!

I wanted to share with you my two favourite skin products right now; they are the Ted Baker Body Scrub and Baylis & Harding Skin Spa Intensive Body Butter.

The Ted Baker Body Butter was an impulse buy, I was attending my Summer Ball and wanted to look sun kissed by applying a little fake tan, and running out of exfoliator meant running to the shops and picking up the first one I saw. This is literally the best exfoliator I have ever used, it's buttery texture leaves your skin feeling fresh and silky smooth. I am slightly in love with it's smell, it is delicately fragranced with an opulent mix of bergamot, red fruit, tuberose and patchouli. The beautiful packaging reminds me of summer, and will definitely be part of my beauty regime throughout this summer. Currently sold at Boots for £8.00.

This little gem I received in a Christmas set and have been using it ever since, it is Baylis & Harding Rich Intensive Body Butter. I find some moisturizers can take what feels like an eternity to soak into your skin and can then leave your skin feeling greasy rather than smooth, but I find this product takes no time at all settling into your skin; it also has a very silky, creamy texture and leaves your skin beautifully smooth and hydrated in the summer sun all day long. It is enriched with essential oils of rose, ylang ylang and patchouli, with similar ingredients to Ted Baker Body Scrub, I find these two go well together. You can purchase this from the Baylis & Harding website here for just £12.
