Relaxation Essentials: Bloomtown Botanicals

If you have been reading my blog even just for a few months then you'll know that I adore pampering, especially if beautiful products and lavender are involved so when these incredibly lovely products from Bloomtown Botanicals arrived, I was very excited to give them a go.

Bloomtown Botanicals is a wonderfully natural and ethical brand that creates beautiful pampering products from soaps, scrubs, bath salts and oils to gifts, skincare and candles. All of the products are made in Cornwall, they are free from any parabens, sulphates, fragrance, colours or animal products and they contain lovely natural ingredients such as Vitamin E, sweet almond oil, chamomile, mango butter and coconut extract.

*Bloomtown Botanicals Pink Himalayan Salt Soak - The Meadow (£10, 285g)

I was lucky enough to be able to choose a couple of products from Boomtown Botanicals to try out and obviously I chose a range that contains lavender because I'm clearly obsessed with lavender anything! The packaging for all three products I received is stunningly beautiful, minimal and perfect to give as a gift...or to treat yourself!

The bath soak contains lavender, rose geranium and chamomile as well as mineral rich Himalayan salt. Since receiving this product, I have been taking it out of my 'products to review' drawer and just leaving it open on my desk so I can smell it constantly as it has such a calming, relaxing scent that I want around me all of the time. It has a sweet, floral and earthy scent that instantly makes me feel calmer and more content.

I haven't used bath salts for years, I'm more used to exciting, glittery bath bombs! To use, you just sprinkle however much you want in your bath and swirl the water to dissolve the salt. There isn't the excitement that you get with bath bombs but the bath salts smell lovely although I wish the scent was much stronger as I love it so much!

*Bloomtown Botanicals Shea & Coconut Soap - The Meadow

I noticed a little square of adorable soap in my package which is perfect for me as I have eczema on my hands and most liquid soaps can irritate my skin but this one doesn't! I definitely prefer to use natural soaps, especially when they work well and smell as subtly glorious as this one does! If you have dry, sensitive hands *that sounds weird, but you know what I mean!* then you definitely need to check out this soap.

*Bloomtown Botanicals Sweet Almond & Shea Sugar Scrub - The Meadow (£5.60, 68g)

Again, another product that smells divine - this range is just perfect for me! When it comes to body exfoliators, I adore sugar scrubs (the solid sugar scrubs from Lush are fantastic) and I knew I'd love this one too. It contains fine British sugar to gently exfoliate as well as lavender, rose geranium and chamomile - all of the good ingredients.

Most of the sugar scrubs I've already tried have been in a solid form or at least very dry but this one is quite a wet grainy mixture that is very thick. I love this body scrub, it's everything that I look for as it's natural, the packaging is gorgeous, it smells lovely and it's very exfoliating without being too harsh - yes, yes, yes! I couldn't recommend these products enough; overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.

I was given a discount code to share that means you can get 20% off using the code: HEATHER20
