Pampering

Replenish, renew and refresh your skin with the fabulous ‘Botanicals’ range from the J Burlington and Sons range. For skin that is stressed or dry, try the Ginseng & Papaya ‘Heal’ body lotion. Made from a soothing blend of cocoa butter and vitamin E infused with natural botanicals, your skin will thank you for it. Cocoa butter has long been known to soften and smooth the skin, and vitamin E is necessary to keep skin in prime condition. Papaya has an enzyme in it that also softens skin and nourishes, while ginseng has long been known for it’s rejuvenative and healing properties. Ginseng will also leave you with a feeling of vitality.

With the onset of winter and the colder weather in the southern hemisphere, skin needs and deserves a little extra help to remain smooth and supple. Ginseng and Papaya healing body lotion to the rescue!

The first thing you will notice is the refreshing vital scent of this luxurious lotion. It is non- greasy, and easily absorbed by the skin. Perfect for a girl on the go in her gym bag or as an essential in your daily bathroom ritual. Keep some on your desk at work to prevent the drying effects of air conditioning, or in your travel bag for after that long haul flight.

Team the lotion with other products in the range for a gift that says ‘I care’- for you and your skin! What better way to indulge that special lady in your life? Or indeed, to treat yourself to what you truly deserve- soft, luxurious, smooth and healthy skin.

How often to you pamper yourself? How often do you turn the phone, computer, tv etc off and relax? I mean really relax. A bath, some candles, some gorgeous music, maybe a glass of wine. I know I don’t do it very often. But I have made the effort in the last couple of weeks, and wow, do I feel better.
I have soaked, scrubbed, moisturised and relaxed.
I’ve been on a bit of a Botanicals blitz, so the products I have enjoyed have been the Sooth Bath Soak, Heal body scrub and the Sooth Body Butter. I could have made it the trifecta and used the Stimulate Body Lotion, and I probably would have if I had remembered to bring some home!!!!
The nice thing about really treating your body in the winter months, is that it prepares our bodies for the warmer seasons. How often have you got to leg showing time, only to see that you have neglected to exfoliate or moisturise your legs for 10 weeks and they have taken on the appearance of an old turtle shell. I know I have been guilty of that.
Dead skin cells just keep on coming, and if you don’t take the time to exfoliate your whole body properly, you do get this funny kind of layer (I don’t think that is the technical term). It truly doesn’t take that long to have a scrub all over and I swear you will feel better for it.
Later in the week I’ll share with you the benefits of dry body brushing for amazing internal and external results.
You don’t need to have a bath to really relax either. Sometimes I just stay in the shower for what seems an eternity, and come out feeling amazed.
For best results, I exfoliate every 3-5 days. That includes face, feet and body.
The other thing about winter, is the deadly electric blanket……I am getting better at turning it off when I get it, but seriously, if you want to look after your skin, leave it off all together.
