Temple Spa, a brand synonymous with skincare and spa treatments recently launched their Mani-Pedi Cures Hand & Foot Care Essentials Range which I have been using for the last 6 weeks or so and it is such a great gift set.
Nestled inside the brightest and handy to have decorated tin, the Mani-Pedi-Cures hand & Foot Care Essentials, £30, is described as being the ultimate tin of everything you need to prep your hands, feet and nails for a manicure and pedicure from the comfort of your own home. With it came the most beautiful collection of nail polish, which will feature in another post.
The Mani-Pedi-Cure collection features 5 essential hand and foot care products. It comes as no dramatic headline, but it always serves as a timely reminder that we use our hands and feet constantly, im not the biggest fan of anyone's trotters, including my own, but I still take care of them as best I can and Temple Spa make the task a whole lot more easier with products such as this.
The First product out of the tin is Temple Spa Sugar Buff. Temple Spa describe this scrub as being their best and not only does it smell absolutely incredible, it is formulated with a whole host of incredible ingredients to leave your skin, on both your hands and feet incredibly soft and smooth.
Designed to remove dead and dry skin cells, this sugar inspired scrub also features a blend of hydrating olive and grape seed oil, fig, pomegranate, vitamin E plus a relaxing cocktail of essential oils including lavender, patchouli, clove, eucalyptus and rosemary. On the skin, you can definitely feel the scrub working on the skin, though it isn't abrasive and doesn't scratch the surface, instead it does a really good job at removing that skin.
The second product in the tin is a brand new product and one Temple Spa are really proud of and having used it I can see why, that product is the The From Strength To Strength Nail & Cuticle Treatment Serum.
This From Strength To Strength Nail & Cuticle Treatment Serum which is infused with a powerful blend of 65 minerals including calcium, zinc, Iron and magnesium which work to not only improve the condition of your nails but also those cuticles which, if you are anything like me, you neglect until they weaken and then need some TLC. This treatment serum, which has a fairly thick texture, absorbs really quickly and leaves behind nourished feeling cuticles.
Palm Balm is one of Temple Spa's award-winning products which is an intensive hand cream for dry hands is luxuriously nourishing and hydrating.
This Nourishing Palm Balm has a really lovely non-greasy texture which is really fast absorbing when applied to the hands. It is infused with the essential oils of lemon, lavender and bergamot, as well as extracts of aloe vera, jojoba to soothe, hydrate and moisturise. Plus there is the inclusion of both Vitamin C and E which together help to replenish and balance dehydrated skin as well as reviving dull skin.
Having looked after the palms of your hands the soles of your feet are just as important, after all they carry us and our stresses and worries around all day. Sole Balm, which is described as being a nourishing foot balm.
This balm, which again is non-greasy and absorbs incredibly quickly, is made up of a powerful blend of 22 Mediterranean essential oils help to alleviate tension and tiredness, as well as a plethora of botanicals and essential oils such as cocoa butter, honey, papaya, olive, soy and avocado which come together and work to deeply moisturise. Also included is a selection of exfoliating enzymes who gently work to slough away those dead and dry skin cells, so those rough bits of skin which can be too stubborn to disappear become softer and softer. Then finally we have the inclusion of both Peppermint oil and menthol which are incredibly soothing on the skin.
The final item within this Mani-Pedi-Cures selection is the Temple Spa Glass Nail File and if you have never used a nail file like this one, then you need to get one quick.
A glass nail file is an absolute must for anyone who wants to take care of their nails. Not only are they much gentler on your nails than the more traditional emery board files, the grit that you can feel on these glass nail files is super finely sanded down, which means you will be able to create a clean, smooth, “sealed” edge on your nails rather than a jagged, torn edge and in turn this means your nails will not peel and chip as easily as they might have done. I have definitely noticed a difference in my nails between switching from a traditional nail file to a glass nail file with peeling and chipping.
This Temple Spa Mani-Pedi Cures Hand & Foot Care Essentials Kit is really lovely to have and it would also make quite the gift, particularly because it is really well presented and it costs just £30, which is an absolute bargain.
