Drift Away - Temple Spa

Those who read my blog often enough will know how much I adore having a hot bath once or twice a week, a chance to relax and chill out whilst closing out the outside world, forgetting the stress and strain of the day whilst soaking up a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

Drift Away by Temple Spa is described as being a 'Relaxing Bathing and Massage Oil' which can be used on directly on the skin or added to a bath for instant calm and tranquility. 
"The most luxurious chill-out treatment ever! DRIFT AWAY is a must for when you need to really wind down and have your moment of peace and calm. Applied straight onto the skin for an aromatherapy massage, or with a capful drizzled into the bathtub; these deliciously fragrant oils will help you chill out and relax, especially when you find it hard to switch off"

Not only does it sound amazing, it absolutely is. Firstly it is packed full of essential oils such as:

  • Dill Seed Oil which helps to overcome the feeling of being overwhelmed and it helps to ease the mind and calm headaches.
  • Frankincense which also has a wonderfully calming effect on the mind and is said to be an excellent oil for meditating
  • Jojoba Oil which has a structure that closely resembles that of your own skin sebum, making it an excellent moisturizer and ideal for all skin types.
  • Lavender Oil which is known for its ability to sooth and calm the nerves, relieve tension and nervous exhaustion in general. It is also one of my favourite scents for relaxation and I find it helpful for drifting off to sleep.
  • Geranium Oil which is described as being an uplifting oil which has a great all-over balancing effect on the mind and is said to help to relieve feelings of stress and anxiety
Add to those oils some Patchouli, Sesame, Myrrh, Galbanum, Avocado Oil and Petitgrain and you have something that is just absolutely amazing. All of those oils together create a scent which brings about instant relaxation, like the scent you get when you walk into a spa that specialises in aromatherapy treatments, it is just divine and when using it, all you need is a few drops into running bath water.

So if you are wanting to try something that is as relaxing and as wonderfully scented as Drift Away, then look no further than Temple Spa to purchase some for yourself.

Temple Spa Sugar Buff

Temple Spa is a brand I have heard of but never tried and was delighted to be sent a wondeful package of products to try.  With the mantra "In Spa, In Store, In Flight, In Hotel, In Home, In Life" Temple Spa have created a huge catalogue of products that encourage you to create a spa wherever you are.  Now one of my goals is to spend an entire day at a spa being pampered, it is something I have never done, but something I really want to try.  In the meantime, I have these products to put to the test.

The first product I have absolutely loved using is Sugar Buff** which is described as follows "Prepare to bare. Ready to bare, but wouldn't dare? For all year round sexy soft skin that radiates with health, apply this delicious Mediterranean inspired sugar body scrub, including olive oil, fig and pomegranate to remove dead skin cells, encouraging cell renewal to reveal silky smooth, sun kissed skin"

The first thing I have to say about this scrub is that it is absolutely divine. Seriously divine and it smells just amazing.  As this is a sugar scrub it is perfect for using on parts of the body where you suffer with really harsh dry skin, which for me is always my shins, not only does it get rid of every last bit of horrible dry, flaking skin, it does it with no effort what so ever.  I also find my elbows can get quite dry too and again, this sugar scrub is perfect for removing that dead and dry skin. 

This Sugar Buff is paraben free and uses sugar as the natural exfoliant plus olive oil, fig, Vitamin E and pomegranate to create not just a wonderful scent, but a product which invigorates the skin, help increase circulation, rejuvenates and softens the skin, improves the lymphatic flow which in turns helps to remove toxins and if you use it whilst in the bath, it dissolves completely so you are not left sitting in water which feels all grainy and horrible.

After using, where I would usually expect to find my skin in need of a lot of moisturisation after exfoliating, with this I didn't, what I have was incredibly soft, smooth skin to the touch which smelt wonderful of fresh figs and pomegranates, which together makes a wonderful scent.

A travel size version of Sugar Buff costs just £7.50 for a 50g tub which is amazing value for money and the perfect size for taking with you on your travels.

Have you ever tried anything from Temple Spa?
