Botanicals: Nourish Body Polish: Organic Beauty Week 2016

I've been testing out Botanicals Nourish Body Polish with Wild Rose & Rose Geranium (70g trial size)* (full size 175g - £24) and it's absolutely beautiful. It has just the right amount of scrubbiness and it smells deeply of roses.

The range is hand made in small batches in rural England. Products are 100% natural and are certified organic by The Soil Association.

Made with raw organic cane sugar, Himalayan mineral crystal and a blend of anti-ageing essential oils including wild rose and rose geranium. The polish removes dead skin cells, regenerates and rejuvenates the skin. 

The scrub is included in a special offer for the Soil Association's Organic Beauty Week which ends on 25 September. See more details here.

To use: remove a small amount of polish and mix with a little water between your palms, spread over the body, adding more water until all the granules have dissolved. Rinse.

An effective and beautiful product which smoothes and softens to reveal younger looking and softer skin.

The balm melts easily onto the skin absorbing quickly.  It nourishes, softens, heals and protects the skin and can also be used as a natural perfume (I do love a multi-purpose product!)

Organic Beauty Week: Pinks Boutique Try Me Set - Lemongrass Facial

Pinks Boutique is holding it's second Organic Beauty Festival to coincide with The Soil Association's Organic Beauty Week which runs from today until the 14th September.  Pinks Boutique Spas, Salons and Treatment Rooms will be running special discounts, offers and free gifts with treatments.  There is also an exclusive offer running on Try Me Sets - two boxes can be purchased for the special price of £25 (instead of £40 but this excludes the anti-ageing set although it will be available during the festival at a special price of £15).

I was sent the fabulous Try Me Set - Lemongrass Facial (£20)* which includes a range of mini try me sizes suitable for normal/combination/oily skin types. The sets are super luxe and beautifully packaged - would make great gifts too!  All products are natural, certified organic and hand blended with love and care in England.

Lemongrass & Mandarin Cleanser - this cleanser is great at removing all make up and daily grime and smells simply divine.  Massage onto damp skin and remove with a warmed damp muslin cloth.  It is soothing and purifying. Use AM and PM.  Loved this and would buy full size.

Lemongrass & Mandarin Toner - a refreshing light spritz which is restorative and balancing. It also contains green and white tea to sooth an calm. Apply to a cotton pad after cleansing. This is my favourite item from the set.

Bamboo & Oatmeal Facial Polish - bamboo and oatmeal gently exfoliate the skin for natural regeneration of skin cells. Massage in gentle circular movements before rinsing. Suitable for all skin types.

Green Clay & Camellia Mask - this mask deeply cleanses and draws out impurities. My oily T-zone has been loving this mask.  Apply to the skin avoiding eye and lip areas leave on for 10 minutes and remove with a warmed mitt.

Lemongrass & Camellia Moisturiser - a balancing and refreshing lotion which contains Camellia oil and Aloe Vera to soothe and heal.  This is a perfect moisturiser for spring/summer but if you feel your skin needs a bit more moisture as the seasons change try Face Balm or Night Balm. 

I really enjoyed using this little Try Me kit and I'll definitely be picking up one or two of the others available - see the range here.
