REN Skincare Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium Body Range

A little over a week ago in the beautiful Regent Street Space NK store, I was lucky enough to be treated to an in-depth preview of the new REN skincare range and it is one you definitely need to be looking out for.

The Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium Body Range is one which intrigues me as much as excites me. I adore REN as a brand and this is the one launch that calls out to me.  A rich source of magnesium and antioxidants to help cells detox, which revitalises and re-energises the skin. The benefits of sea kelp and seaweeds have been used in West Ireland for bathing, as well as a restorative food source, for centuries. REN has harnessed the power of this particular seaweed to fight fatigue, stress and pollution within a 21st-century content.

At this point, you might be thinking 'What is she talking about' so let me explain.  By restoring the body's balance of magnesium and other trace elements, as well as supporting cell energy levels, we can ensure the cells release toxins, waste and heavy metals, consequently regaining the energy required for healthy functioning of the body. The ability of these trace elements to flood the cells with oxygen and nutrients has a positive effect on our daily energy.

Magnesium is an antidote to stress and helps our bodies to function between, and it is a mineral that is easily absorbed through the skin. To that end, REN have an entire range which is just incredible and these six products all work on their own as well as together and they include:

Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium:

• Body Wash - Reviving body wash with toning seaweed extracts and cell-energising magnesium
• Body Cream - Enriched with powerful microalgae, this  cream tones and firms fatigued skin, increasing the skin's energy levels
• Hand Wash - gentle, derma-protecting hand cleanser that takes care of delicate skin on our hands with mind-invigorating essential oils - NME THEM
• Hand Lotion - A light fresh and easily absorbed hand and body lotion to keep the skin hydrated, nourished and protected
• Exfoliating Body Scrub - A gentle exfoliator that will renew and moisturise your skin. Balm-like texture, apply to the skin before getting into the shower and simply rinse off... or apply to skin and allow to soak off in the bath, allowing for 20 mins to help soak the tension away
• Bath Oil - Formulated with seaweed oil extract to moisturise and tone the skin, this oil will combat fatigue by detoxifying and relaxing both your body and mind.

What I love about this range is not only how incredible the entire range smells, which in itself is enough to immediately bring about a feeling of calmness, the same feeling I get whenever I go for a massage or a facial.  Added to the scent is how amazing the products work so well with one another and as described above, my favourite way to bath using them is to apply the exfoliating body scrub to my skin and then leave it whilst the bath has run, into which I add the bath oil and then before removing it, get into the bath and just allow everything to soak away.  Ive had a pretty stressful time at work lately and to come home and do this little ritual is an absolute treat.
