The Naked Skincare Company: Evening Relax Body Oil & Hydrating Skin Balm

I received these The Naked Skincare Company products in December's Souk Souk Beauty Box. I'm really impressed with both these products and I definitely want to try more from the brand! I received their Rose Water Toner in the Rose Hamper from Nardine but I've not cracked it open yet!

Stephanie along with her husband and children run the business from South Cumbria and their children inspired the range after Stephanie began making products for the family to use.

Products are natural, eco-friendly, free from chemicals and artificial ingredients and are beautiful! Packaging is recyclable and minimal.

Evening Relax Moisturising Body Oil (30ml) - Full size is 250ml (£25) - this oil is simply gorgeous! It is made with Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood Essential Oils and smells beautiful.  Packed full of nourishing oils such as Sweet Almond, Apricot Kernal and Vitamin E.  It is perfect to use just before bed to calm and relax. I know I'll be buying this again and again.

Orange & Frankincense Hydrating Skin Balm (30ml) - Full size is 100ml (£8.95) - this rich balm smells delicious! It deeply nourishes the skin and soothes and calms the mind.  It absorbs instantly and is great for elbows, knees, feet, hands and in fact all over the body! 

There is also a beautiful range of skincare, soaps, bath bombs, DIY Kits, Accessories and Candles.

Have you used any products from The Naked Skincare Company?

Five Favourite Body Oils

I tend to use body oils the most during winter months. These are my current favourites:

inner-soul organics Romance Me Skin Oil 100ml* - this rose and jasmine scented body oil is gorgeous. See my review here.  Blue Labelle Body Oil with Ylang Ylang & Frankincense 100ml - I just adore this body oil. See my review here.

Indie Lee Vanilla Citrus Moisturising Oil 4oz* - an easily absorbed oil which you can also use on your face and hair. See my review here.  Marble & Milkweed Nourishing Body Oil 2oz* - quite simply a body oil I always want to have in my stash. I love everything about it - simple packaging, luxury feel on the skin and easily absorbed as well as having the most amazing rosey cardamon scent. See my review here.

My final body oil is from The Naked Skincare Company which I received in December's Souk Souk Beauty Box. This lush oil is scented with Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood and is perfect to use before bed. Stuffed full of moisturising and nourishing oils it has firmly placed itself as one of my all time favourite body oils.

Souk Souk December Beauty Box

My Souk Souk Beauty Box arrived on Thursday and I was happy to see contained two brands I've not tried before....but a bit disappointed to see a product which I've had in zillions of beauty boxes - the INIKA Black Eyeliner....

So onto the contents:

I was pleased to see two products from The Naked Skincare Company which look fantastic.  Evening Relaxing Body Oil 30ml sample size - this is lovely! It is made with Sweet Almond and Apricot Kernel Oil along with Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood Essential Oils. I'm looking forward to trying this and Hydrating Skin Balm 30ml which is scented with Orange and Frankincense and is great for dry skin areas as well as calming and soothing. 

Another brand I've heard of but not tried before is Fairfield Gardens Lip Balm (£3.89). This is in Spearmint & Fennel and is refreshing and soothing. I love lip balms and can never have too many.  This is a welcome addition to the box.

I'm a huge fan of Pure Thoughts already and love their soaps. I'm looking forward to trying this Winter Wonderland mini soap. It contains Cedarwood and Pine Essential Oils giving it a festive woodland scent.

The final item in the box is that dreaded INIKA Eyeliner which is worth £10.75. All in all I am pleased with my December box but have decided to stop my subscription for now. (#nobuyjanuary is looming!)

Did you get this month's box?  What are your thoughts on the contents?
