SENSITIVE SOUL'S

If like me you have sensitive skin you have to be so careful when choosing products that don't react with my skin so often stick to the old faithfuls I have used for years and have proved their worth in being none irritant.

Imperial Leather is a brand that most people have heard of and a staple in a lot of bathrooms. They have developed a fantastic new range - Skinkind  Bath Soaks and Body Milks in the range are formulated to be kind to skin with hypoallergenic ingredients dermatologically tested to be kind to skin and boost moisture levels using natural extracts such as Cotton, Oat Milk, Lotus Flower, White Tea, Cucumber and Aloe Vera extract.

I found when using the Bath Soak's a thick bath foam develops and as well as making the water smell divine my skin did feel noticeably soothed and smooth afterwards.


 Imperial Leather Skin Kind Hydrating Bath Milk and Restoring Gentle Bath Soak,
 £2.69 each for 500ml, Restoring Body Wash is also available,
