Sanctuary Spa Saviours!

Here on my blog you will quickly come to find that beauty product reviews will be few and far between, this is simply because it's quite rare that I think a product is worth talking about. 
However, since discovering Sanctuary Spa I admit I feel quite differently. 
Desperate to become a bath person now that I'm pregnant, I have been looking for some products which will make climbing into the tub a worthwhile experience.


 This first product (which is my favourite) is the 'ultimate salt scrub', is definitely the most luxurious product I have ever used. I purchased mine from Boots and paid £11.50 for it, I was slightly dubious about buying it due to the price, but in my desperation for the perfect bath, I bit the bullet.
I love body exfoliating products, but this by far has exceeded all the others I have tried. The scrub is oil based, which isn't really noticeable until you apply it. After massaging into skin, the product leaves an oily residue and the most relaxing, clean scent, I like to leave the oil to soak into my skin for as long as possible, to moisturise after the exfoliation. After I have revelled in its oily glory, I rinse my skin quickly and carefully pat my skin dry, just to let the oil soak in as much as possible. 

Afterwards I use the other product pictured which is the 'sensuous body souffle' this has the same scent. I also purchased this from my local Boots store, this very large (475ml) tub cost £11, which surprised me as it contains so much product. I think body lotion is pretty self explanatory, but I will say that after coming straight out of the bath, and applying this, my skin feels and smells amazing, and I feel like I have used some really high end products.
I now have to restrain myself from having too many baths, I'm obsessed with these two!

Since my discovery of these two products, I decided to continue down the Sanctuary Spa path and purchase some of their skin care.





The 'fresh faced purifying wash' has a fairly neutral and clean smell, and has the consistency you would expect from a face wash, it feels very smooth whilst applying and builds up a tolerable lather. I use this to wash off my makeup at the end of the day, and it leaves my skin feeling soft and cleansed, it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and shiny which other face washes tend to do. 
Also Boots, the price tag for this was £9.

Lastly my second favourite Sanctuary Spa product so far is the 'illuminating moisture lotion'. The main reason this got my attention was because of the word 'illuminating', I figured, what more am I going to need in the upcoming weeks than to look and feel illuminated? I promise i'm not usually so easily seduced by what products claim to do, but I felt like I was in no position to be cynical, so I bought it, and i'm impressed! 
I use this during the day and apply it before make up (of course) it soaks in within a couple of minutes and leaves my face feeling very soft and gives it a dewy glow, which I prefer in the summer. It completely soaks in without leaving a residue and feels as though it benefits my skin. Its a lovely base for makeup, and I feel like my face is completely clean after applying. Obviously its from Boots (how did you guess?) and this cost £13.50.
