Elemis - A Spa in your Bathroon

Luanne McLean

Home Spa products are now a huge market as our time becomes more and more valueble in this busy world in which we live. Elemi to me have always stood head and shoulders above the rest of the competition with fantastic products beautifully packaged and carrying the same ethos as thier Sp's - something a lot of ther brands forget.

This month the ever popular Pro- Collagen Anti-ageing range has a new addition - Advanced Eye Treatment , £39 for 15ml at www.timetospa.co.uk.They always say if you want to know how you will age look at your mother - my mam has great skin and good hands but her eys and my nans before her are the windows of the soul that do tell the truth so since my eliy twenties i have had something of an obsession with eye creams.

This light weightserum is beautifuly housed in a scientific pepte like container and its active ingredients of blue flower linseed and padina pavinica help the skin have a firmer smoother apperance. I love not only the smell but the light feeling of this on my skin - a firm favourite already.

Since having my little girl last year I have noticed the skin on my face is less firm and my jawline appearing a little jowly - not good!So again I turned to the Elemis Pro Collogen range this time the Neck and Bust Lifting Treatment, £71.50 for  50ml from www.timetospa.co.uk , clinically proven to reduce cepiness in skin by 335 this is one cream worth investing in rather than just a one of spa treatment that would set you back a similar price. Used daily I did find the skin appear to firm up when i massaged the cream in - again containing Padina Pavonica aswell as algae,seabuckthorn, royal jelly and propolis.

so what are you waiting for - light a candle and put some fluffy towels on the bath tub - transform your bathroom into as Elemis Spa haven and look years younger for it!
