Sunday is one of my favourite days. I try to do as little as humanly possible and sometimes that involves not leaving my bed until I absolutely have to. Sunday also means bath time, that hour and a bit of the week that I get to myself with no one sending me emails, texting me, ringing me, nagging me or simply asking questions. It is time for me to switch off, grab my book, a glass of wine and forget about everyone else.
Tropic Skincare is no stranger to this blog, they have been feature many times (here, here and here) and a brand that has such an inspirational story to tell (here). After appearing on BBC’s The Apprentice in 2011, Susie is given the opportunity to present her passion and vision for natural and cruelty-free skincare to Lord Alan Sugar. Impressed by the products, he spots a unique business opportunity and invests to become a 50/50 partner. To date, the Tropic Skincare line has grown from just a few products to a huge catalogue of products which span the skincare, body care and Suncare to Makeup. Today is the turn of bath products and if you like your bath to be something special, then read on.
I have mentioned previously that we are about to have a bathroom overhaul, everything ripped out and a brand spanking new everything, in the meantime, I am still enjoying my weekly bath time. These new and limited edition bath soaks are the perfect for that indulgent Sunday pamper session and depending on your mood and whether you feel hat you need a little uplifting then ‘Awaken Your Senses’ is the best option or if you are in need of a calming bath then ‘Soothe Your Senses’ is the second option, either way, Tropic skincare has something to suit your mood and both are just incredibly indulgent, nourishing and they smell divine.
Awaken The Senses Bath Soak is housed inside a glass bottle it uses aromatherapeutic essential oils to uplift your senses. Yellow in colour, as soon as the oil comes into contact with the water, that oil turns to a milky liquid. This soak is described as being the perfect option if you need a little uplifting or are feeling a little low. Using just three capfuls into hot running water, as soon as the essential oils come into contact with the water and steam, the most divine of scents is released and quickly fills the room.
A scent which is more definitely uplifting and restorative uses oils such as Bergamot, Lime, Lemon, Sweet Orange and Mandarin to give the soak quite an energisizing scent as well using restorative neroli and basil essential oils banish fatigue and soothe muscles helping to banish fatigue and soothe muscles.
Then we have the second option which is called Soothe The Senses Bath Soak and it is perfect for those days when you need that calming, soothing bath to soak away the weeks stresses, it is described as being a skin-softening bath soak with aromatherapeutic essential oils to restore the mind. As with Awaken The Senses, this soak also comes housed inside a glass bottle to give that more luxurious feel and again, as the essential oils come into contact with the hot running water and steam, the vapour carries the scent throughout the home.
This is my favourite of the two products simply because I love how calming it actually is. Using Exotic frangipani flower extract helps to transform your bath into what is described as being a pool of tranquillity and it is blended with both Vitamin E and Macadamia oils which help to condition and soften skin. Added to those comes Cedarwood essential oil which provides a warm sense of grounding and comfort and ensuring that you do manage to soak away those stresses.
If you like a bath filled with bubbles, then these are not the products you want to be trying because they instead turn from an oil to a milky substance which lovingly nourishes the skin and leaves it feeling silky smooth and hydrated. They are also priced at £38 for 260ml (here) each making them quite the luxury, but with that you get an incredible product and which is packed full of amazing essential oils and other ingredients which completely live up to their expectations and promises.
