The Winter season is tough on our skin so it’s important during the festivities to treat our body like a temple. Here are my favourite Christmas Beauty Essentials to end the year with a glow.
Olverum bath Oil 125ml RRP £23.45
Olverum Bath Oil is a beauty essential item that every woman deserves in her Me-Time to sooth and revive while everyday stress and tension evaporate in a long aromatic moment of blissful indulgence. It contain essential oils, extracted from carefully selected aromatic plants, that fuse together to provide the concentrated therapeutic benefits that transform your bath into a calming and invigorating spa experience for mind and body. Personally I loved the way it left my skin after the bath: soft like baby skin. Naturally my skin is a bit dry so Olverum Bath Oil’s refined plant oils are very light and easily absorbed by my body, providing instant relief for my dry skin (particularly hands and joints) and leaving it beautifully soft and supple. An Olverum bath can also be particularly beneficial in helping you to recuperate from the symptoms of cold or flu. Essential oils of pine, lavender, eucalyptus, lemon and exotic verbena create Olverum Bath Oil’s characteristic invigorating vapour which helps to clear blocked sinuses, eases catarrh, bronchitis and asthma and allows you to breathe more easily.

Love Boo bedtime set for new mum and her baby
Getting a new baby to sleep can sometimes seem impossible, yet settling a new baby into a bedtime routine is usually one of the first tasks parents are eager to achieve. There’s no magic wand that can be waved to help babies sleep (although we wish there was!) but there are a number of things parents can do to teach baby that bed time is near. Love Boo have created a Sleep & Snuggle Bedtime Set that includes:
Soft & Splashy Bubbles
Start your bedtime with a warm bath of Soft & Splashy bubbles to create a mass of foamy fun. Made with only kind and soothing ingredients including marshmallow extract and oats, this bed time treat will gently cleanse and moisturise baby’s delicate skin.
Kind & Creamy Baby Lotion
A gentle massage with this super-gentle lotion after a relaxing bath is a great signal to baby that it’s time to wind down. Love Boo’s Kind & Creamy Baby Lotion contains Tahitian Monoi, from Tiare blossoms and pomegranate extract to hydrate and protect baby’s precious skin.
Sleep & Snuggle Pillow & Room Spray
Just before you kiss baby good night, spritz a little Sleep & Snuggle Pillow & Room spray to help soothe baby into a deeper sleep. Pillow & Room spray contains 100% natural essential oils – chamomile, lavender and patchouli, all known for their sleep-inducing properties which can encourage baby sleep deeply.
Snuggle & Sleep Bed Time Set is an ideal gift for new parents or a baby shower present. It is available from www.loveboo.co.uk RRP £22.99
