PRODUCT REVIEW: RITUALS HIMALAYA SCRUB AND HONEY TOUCH BODY CREAM



Today I'd like to share with you two bath essentials that I've particularly been loving lately, the Himalaya Scrub and the Honey Touch Nourishing Body Cream from Rituals. 

Let's start with the Rituals Himalaya Scrub with Sweet Almond Oil and Indian Rose. This body scrub contains prehistoric Crystal Salts from the Himalayas, which have a purifying and harmonising effect, helping to create inner balance and vitality. In addition it is fragranced with Indian Rose and soothing Sweet Almond Oil and also includes a touch of mint.

The salt scrub is a little coarse, but as soon as you put it on your damp warm skin in the shower, it melts so it has the right consistency so it is not too rough on the skin. But you do have to work fast, or it will completely melt away. It leaves the skin feeling so velvety soft and smooth, and it really does have a revitalising and refreshingly cooling feeling on the skin, no doubt thanks to the added mint.

The Sweet Almond oil helps add some moisture back into the skin, as once you've dried yourself, you skin is already feeling very moisturised and far from dried out, which many other body scrubs do. It also has the most beautiful rose scent that you can only adore, and which also leaves your bathroom smelling incredible too.

Following afterwards with the Rituals Honey Touch Nourishing Body Cream, which contains shea butter, cocoa butter and sunflower seed oil, to deeply moisturise the skin. It also contains Himalayan honey to help soften the skin, and Indian Rose to give it a relaxing effect, and not to forget, Rose Flower Oil to give it a divine rose scent.

This Body Cream has a very light and fluffy almost whipped consistency, which does mean that it absorbs into the skin super fast, without leaving the skin feeling sticky or greasy, yet it is, surprisingly, extremely moisturising at the same time. This Body Cream feels very luxurious on the skin, and leaves it feeling so incredibly soft and smooth, and with that beautiful natural rose scent lingering for a long time afterwards. And actually, if using this following the Himalaya Scrub, this rose scent is only intensified further.

Both the Body Scrub and the Body Cream come in large plastic tubs with a gorgeous simplistic design - and I do particularly love the bright red Body Cream tub, although the brownish scrub tub is also looking gorgeous with its pink and orange writing, making both looking very stylish on the bathroom shelf.

So overall I am really enjoying these products from Rituals, they make shower time such a luxurious joy, and something that I look so forward to. I will be sad when I hit the bottom of these tubs, and can certainly see myself purchasing them again, as well as I'm very keen to explore more from the large Rituals product range..

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEA: RITUALS SAMURAI MEN'S SKINCARE COLLECTION



Today I've got a few more great Father's Day gift ideas to share with you, these ones from Ritual... 

My husband is luckily not afraid to use grooming products (lucky when he's married to an obsessed beauty blogger!), and I have caught him over the years using my products, until I realised that it was worthwhile making sure he had his own so he would leave mine alone!

That said, he does enjoy a quick routine, although he still frequently use a face wash and scrub. The Rituals Samurai Face Scrub & Wash, is a foaming 2-in-1 wash and scrub that has been enriched with purifying properties of Japanese Wakame, Bamboo as well as exfoliating scrubbing particles to remove dead skin cells and excess oil, dirt and grime from the skin.

Sometimes my husband complains that facial scrubs seem to do little for his skin (usually when he has pinched a squirt one of my gentle ones) , but he has said that he is impressed with this one, as it grainy but without being to harsh on the skin, and it clearly makes his face feel so much softer, smoother and brighter when he has used it. While he is blessed with really good skin, he does suffer with some blackheads on his nose, but since starting to use this scrub a few times a week, these have clearly reduced in appearance and quantity. He also loves that it has a nice masculine scent.

He has also really enjoyed using the Rituals Samurai Refreshing After Shave Gel with Basil and Tiger Grass, as shaving his face ever morning seems to have a drying effect on his face, and he found that this After Shave Gel has helped add moisture back into the skin, and relieve any dryness and irritation from shaving.

He also really likes the scent, which is totally different to anything else he has in his (growing) aftershave collection, as it does not appear to be a man-made scent, but rather a natural, fresh, and spicy masculine scent, that lingers on the skin for the day. 
The Face Scrub & Wash come in grey tube, while the After Shave Gel comes in grey glass bottle with a timber lid, making both look very stunning with their simple, yet masculine design.

Overall my hubby is really impressed with these products from Ritual, so can definitely recommend that you check them out, and they're the perfect gift for Father's Day too!
