On Trial...Bath soaks

Acting Beauty Editor, Jessica Hopper dips in to five of the best bath-time treats to reveal the most relaxing way to get through the winter blues...

 

Elemis Skin Nourishing Milk Bath

£39 timetospa.co.uk

‘Very Cleopatra! This deliciously creamy and silken bath milk transforms a simple bath into a relaxing, enveloping cocoon of sweet smelling loveliness. A couple of capfuls leave skin squeaky-clean and smoothed.'

 

 

Aromatherapy Associates

£30 aromatherapyassociates.com

‘Packed with oodles of essential oils like camomile and sandalwood, this soak really does turn your tub into a haven of peace and tranquillity. Simply add one capful to running water and relax. The scent is very strong so don't be tempted to add more, and it can make the bath very slippery, so climb in with care! But overall, a relaxation winner and well worthy of a spot in our five of the best.'

 

Origins Ginger Float

£17.50 origins.co.uk

‘This smells soooo good - fizzy ginger beer and cola cubes - delish! Like sparkling, shimmering whipped cream, this soak creates an enjoyable amount of fluffy bubbles and the good-enough-to-eat scent lasts all bath long. Both comforting and soothing, it left my skin amazingly smooth after - just lovely.'

 

Ole Henrikson Detox

£40, strawberryandcream.com

‘A lovely sugary texture with a fresh, citrusy spa-like scent, just a couple of scoops from this HUGE tub and you can enjoy a real indulgent soak that is not only oh-so relaxing and "mmm"-inducing, the sea salts and botanical ingredients provide a real cleansing, detoxifying experience for both the body and mind. Light some candles and enjoy!'

 

 

 

Scottish Fine Soaps Sea Kelp Salt Soak

£8.25 scottishfinesoaps.com

‘These delicately fragranced rock salts are packaged in a gorgeous glass jar that looks lovely on the bathroom shelf. Simply swirl into your bath and allow to dissolve. This soak is rich in nutrients and sea kelp extracts to help detox the body and mind, whilst the rosemary oil is extremely soothing and sleep-inducing.'
