Tropic Skincare Awaken Your Senses Bath Soak

Tropic Skincare Bath Soak

Tropic Skincare seems to be one of the best-kept secrets in the beauty world. Their entire range is vegan, cruelty-free, contain the purest naturally derived ingredients and are totally free from harmful toxic chemicals. So your skin is in good hands. I’ve been lucky enough to try a few of their skincare releases and they’ve always exceeded expectations.

I find myself recommending them to friends and family of all ages, it is fuss free, natural skincare that just works.

These new & limited edition bath soaks are the perfect excuse for a pamper, whether you need a little uplifting with the ‘Awaken Your Senses’ option or are in need of a calming bath with the ‘Soothe Your Senses’ version Tropic has you covered!  They’re both incredibly indulgent, nourishing and smell divine.

Tropic Soothe The Senses Bath Soak

Soothe The Senses Bath Soak

This is for those days you just want to have a quiet, relaxing bath and soak away the day’s stresses. I like to use this on a Friday night so I can fully relax into the weekend and forget work.

This bath soak turns the water into a nourishing milk which is very gentle and soothing not only for your mind but also your skin. The beautiful essential oils help to relax your mind and the plant oils soften your skin so it really is a treat for mind and body.

• Exotic frangipani flower extract helps to transform your bath into a pool of tranquillity
• Blended with vitamin E and macadamia oils to condition and soften skin
• Cedarwood essential oil provides a warm sense of grounding and comfort, soaking away the day’s stress.

This has a lovely exotic floral scent with a touch of sweetness from the macadamia and almond oils, it is so relaxing. It smells so luxurious and very comforting. It makes me want to stay in the bath for ages.

Awaken Your Senses With Tropic Skincare

Awaken Your Senses Bath Soak * 

This is ideal if you need to pep yourself up or feel a little low. This has more of an uplifting, restorative vibe to it. It makes the perfect addition to a morning bath, to get you in the right frame of mind for the day ahead. The neroli, bergamot and citrus give it a more energising twist,

• 25% of this bottle is a blend of the most energising, zesty citrus essential oils
• Restorative neroli and basil essential oils banish fatigue and soothe muscles
• With mouthwatering infusions of bergamot, lime, lemon, mandarin and sweet orange essential oils

It smells amazing and I think out of the two this is my favourite, the scent really fills the room and makes me feel ready for the day. Much like the Soothe Your Senses option, this is just as nourishing for your body as your mind. This contains 25% essential oils which have such a positive effect on your mental and physical well being. There is so much evidence about the beneficial effects of essential oils on your body and mind and Tropic Skincare always use the highest grade in their products. So when you get the time to use these products in your bath make sure you take the time to relax and really soak them up.

Tropic Skincare Luxury Bath Products

These aren’t going to fill your baths with bubbles, instead, these Tropic bath soaks add more of a sophisticated touch to your bath. They start out as a lovely oil but when added to water they become a milky consistency which nourishes the skin and leaves it silky smooth and hydrated.

At £38 per bottle, these are quite a luxury but they’re incredible quality and full of the wonderful, beneficial ingredients that will positively impact both your mind and body. As you only need 2-3 caps per bath a 260ml bottle will last quite a while. They also have a So Sleepy version which has sleep-inducing essential oils for true relaxation, sounds perfect for anyone that has trouble sleeping.

Tropic Skincare So Sleepy Pillow Collection*

So many people tell me the best way to de-stress is to have a bath and relax but I’m one of those people that just can’t take baths, I never settle long enough to relax and I much prefer to take a shower. So I often go to bed a little stressed, especially because I go through my day in my mind mentally ticking off what I managed to achieve and making a note of what I didn’t, this can often result in me lying awake long after my bedtime. When my mind is working overtime I find it difficult to switch my brain off and drift off to sleep. I have no trouble staying asleep once I get there but its the actual falling asleep that seems to elude me sometimes.

I like to use candles and have used a few pillow sprays over the years to help relax my mind and get into that sleepy zone, one of those products that have been helping calm my mind so far in 2017 is the lovely Tropic So Sleepy Pillow Collection. This duo is just the ticket if you struggle to drift off to sleep.

This beautiful duo contains seven calming essential oils including vanilla, rose geranium, frankincense, chamomile, rosewood, rosemary and lavender. Which have been specially selected because of their calming, stress relieving properties to relax the mind and help you drift off to sleep.

Tropic Skincare So Sleepy Pillow Collection

You get a pillow spray and a roller ball in this collection and I think the rollerball will be a great product to take away with you on flights to use on your temples and wrists when it isn’t appropriate to use the spray.

I found this collection to be really soothing and relaxing and I like that unlike most products targeted at achieving a good nights sleep this Tropic Duo contains a lovely mix of essentials oils that includes more than just a heavy dose of Lavender. The scent of these are not overpowering or overly floral but are really beautiful and calming.

Tropic Skincare is Vegan and Cruelty-Free

Relaxing at Christmas

Pre Christmas Pamper Evening

I think at some point during the festive period we all feel burnt out and a little overwhelmed by all the madness and chaos, its the perfect excuse to have a relaxing pre Christmas pamper session and Christmas Eve is the perfect time to do that.

A pamper session for me is all about using my favourite products and creating a relaxing space, even if its only for one stolen hour. Its amazing how great you can feel after taking some time for yourself. I always light candles (you can’t have a pamper session without candles) and put on some music, at the moment I’m listening to the Into The Wild soundtrack by Eddie Vedder its an album I associate with happy times so it always helps me feel calm.

Pre Christmas Pamper

What is your favourite Winter drink? This Whittards Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate* has been tried and tested by my friends and they highly recommend it. Its not Vegan so I can’t have it but I will be indulging in a Divine Hot Chocolate with lots of marshmallows in my all time favourite Mug from Anthropology. There is nothing more satisfying than using your favourite Mug. Its the little things that make me feel calm and relaxed and thats one of them!

A bath isn’t anything without a LUSH Bath Bomb and Cinders* is so festive and it smells incredible and festive. Also how beautiful is this Sanctuary gift tin, another brand I like and that is all about pampering and relaxing. In this Sanctuary Little Tin of Treats* you get a Cleansing Burst Body Wash, Green Lemon & Orange Blossom Body Wash, White Lily & Damask Body Wash and a beautiful Rose Body Polisher. So quite a selection, the Cleansing Burst is their signature scent and I just love it.

Face Masks are something I always forget to do or I end up running out of time but when I have a proper pamper session I love to put a face mask on an I have been using this Origins Original Skin Face Mask for the past few months its a 2 phase re texturising mask and it leaves my skin so smooth and soft. Its packed with lovely ingredients including Mediterranean Rose Clay and also has Canadian Willow Herb which are gentle and won’t irritate your skin.

My pamper evening products

Also with it being Christmas Eve I like to wash and style my hair so in the morning I just have to do very little to it and I can enjoy the day. I have unruly hair and if I leave it wet at night and go to sleep, I wake up with frizzy hair that won’t do what I want. So I like to blow dry my hair and straighten most of it but I also use my straighteners to add a effortless wave to the ends. It makes it look like I have styled it without being too put together. In the morning I normally re do a few of the waves and that takes no time at all. Not only are these BaByliss styling products a super cute colour but they did a great job at styling my hair and making it look Christmas Party ready –  BaByliss Straightener & Dryer Bundle*
