You are either a cat or a dog person, India or Africa, bath or shower. I am cat, Africa, bath.
Does it mean I am lazy or dirty as some of my American friends think? I always think a shower is so pointless.
I don’t like showering, you’re in and out of there quickly and never feel truly refreshed. Not just because my shower has no power but because I love the experience of the bath. All the things to do with it. I sometimes have bath afternoons if I am really tired or depressed. There is something about being overwhelmed in water, it is so revitalizing. But of course it has to be the right kind of water, the right kind of bath treat.
I was rather joyous to find the Ruby Red Soothe and Nourish Body and Bath Set (£28.00). A Body Cleanser and Moisturiser with jasmine and cardamom.
The soothing Body Cleanser is super hydrating with Aloe and vitamin B5 to help even out skin tone. Add that to the soothing oils of jasmine cardamom and ylang ylang, no detergents, no petrochemicals or parabens and you have skin heaven.
The Revive and Repair Body Moisturizer with jasmine and vitamin B5 smells like an exotic flower paradise. It blends straight into the skin and seems extremely nourishing. It leaves your skin soft, glowingly conditioned and thrilled with itself.
Ruby Red`s body treatments focus and utilize nutrients and vitamins from plants that work with the skin.
The bespoke formulations are hand blended for maximum effect. There is something about the exotic garden like scent that smells of paradise. The scent stays with you and lifts your spirits. It seems to energize the mind as well as the skin. It is a luxurious, sensual pleasure.
