Home spa elemis

Elemis fans can snap up four full-sized products for the price of one – ideal for beautistas on a budget. For £55 (the price of the Skin Recovery Capsules), you receive a 30-day supply of the Capsules, a Sensitive Cleansing Wash, Herbal Repair Lavender Mask and the award-winning Papaya Enzyme Peel. It\'s what frazzled faces (and empty pockets) have been waiting for…

3. Avon Planet Spa Dead Sea

exfoliator,skincare Avon planet spa Not long ago, Avon was the butt of numerous beauty jokes – conjuring up images of middle-aged saleswomen and pearl-pink lipstick. But since the success of their Anew range, things have changed. This new line, which uses mineral rich Dead Sea mud, looks and smells like the sort of thing you\'d see in a posh spa, with one very vital difference. The price tag. At £6 for a giant tub of the Firming Body Mask and £5 for the Salt Scrub and Soak, you can really splash out (in your own bathroom) and your bank balance won\'t feel a thing

4. Dermalogica Skin Brightening System

night cream,skin tone,Dermalogica Dermalogica skin brightener Now it may not be particularly indulgent or pampering (or cheap for that matter!), but after a heavy Christmas and even naughtier New Year, your face will almost certainly want a fresh start. Well, if you can\'t afford regular facials you could do a lot worse than trying The Dermal Institute\'s very own range of products. This clever treatment programme (eight to 10 weeks worth of product is included) contains everything you need to regain an even, bright and glowing complexion, with separate day and night treatments to use in the comfort of your own home

5. The Sanctuary Kyphi Collection

skincare,Boots,The Sanctuary The Sanctuary kyphi Not content with having turned our bathrooms into mini-spas years ago (with the launch of their range in Boots), the Covent Garden spa has now launched a comprehensive website where you can get tips from expert therapists, browse the entire range and purchase online. If you want an exotic delight, pick up some treats from the Kyphi range – which uses sandalwood, argan oil, honey and lotus oil to soften and nourish skin

6. The Organic Pharmacy Mask

face mask,skincare,celebrity style Organic Pharmacy mask No girl\'s night in would be complete without some facial TLC, so if you\'re going to spend half an hour slathered in an unsightly paste, you might as well pick a good one! The Organic Pharmacy – a huge hit with A-list stars such as Audrey Tautou and Nicole Kidman – stocks a huge range of great skincare and this mask is ideal if you\'ve been burning the candle at both ends. Healing Evening Primrose and Rose Hip also make this perfect for irritated skins. For a dreamy treat, layer it on and let it sink in while you zone out in a steamy bath. Aaaaaahh...
