As showers have become a more common occurrence I like to make a bath something of a luxury, an extravaganza of products and bubbles. This post was also prompted by the fact that I have tend to always run out of products at around this time and I've done a lot of SKINCARE spending of late!
Here goes...
If I'm not using too many products in the bath or I'm just lounging in the bath on a more extravagant, drinking red wine with a face mask on surrounded by candles and listening to Bon Iver kind of bath, I tend to use Radox bath therapy to set the bubble filled scene. I do occasionally deviate, usually when extra hungover or in need of serious relaxation, to using Sanctuary Spa bath float instead but this is not quite so frequent!
If my bath involved preening and pampering rather than just relaxing I opt for a severe lack of bubbles and add nothing!
I will be discussing this kind of bath.
So when I'm in the bath and the music is on, music is ALWAYS on when in the bath, that's a rule, I start by removing my makeup. I will have already brushed my teeth, this is done before the bath obviously. I remove everything I can with a face wipe. I have really sensitive skin and after trying too many brands to mention I kept breaking out when. Suddenly I was greeted with this almighty hallelujah in the form of the super cheap 57p for a pack of 20 Wilkinsons face wipes. They changed my life! Well almost anyway. I tend to have a lot of mascara left after this so I use a Simple eye makeup remover to get rid of that.
After this I apply the Soap & Glory face soap and Lush popcorn lip scrub to my lips and leave those for a few minutes then rinse off.
I then use whichever scrub I've chosen at the time, I tend to use Pulp Friction by Soap & Glory or the Sanctuary Scrub on a whatever I pick up first basis and the Sugar Crush when going out. After this I use Sanctuary body wash. I've also included the shower gels I use when showering instead as I tend to use the same products with this exception whether in the bath or shower.
At this point I hop out of the bath, apply Simple Derma moisturiser or Simple hydrating moisturiser to my face and L'Oreal Revitalift to my neck. After I've done this I body brush! I've only recently started doing this but I'm hoping that the more often I do it I really will start seeing good results!
Then I use a body butter. The Righteous Butter by Soap & Glory is my usual product of choice but if I'm going out or if I fancy a change I use the Sanctuary body butter or the 24 hour moisturiser. If I am going out I'll apply Lush lustre dust over that for a bit of leg sparkle!
I then use a hand cream, usually the Hand Food then sometimes a foot cream. As a finishing touch I use a body mist!
That's about it, now I know why people think I'm high maintenance!
