Wellness | De-Stressing with Sanctuary Spa

I’ve been meaning to post about the Sanctuary Spa Wellness range for the longest time now and I am finally getting round to it and it’s actually perfect timing as we move into winter! Sanctuary Spa is not a brand I have tried much from despite them being readily available and affordable but I’ve been using these for a while now so read on to hear my thoughts!

 

The range consists of four products designed specifically to help you relax, de-stress and aid sleep and first up we have the De-Stress Bath Salts with Magnesium RRP £8*. While I shower more often than I take a bath, there have been a few occasions over the last couple of months were I have been feeling more stressed than usual and these salts have been a welcome addition to my nightly routine! I’ve drawn a bath, added a few handfuls and the whole ritual has helped relax me before bed and ensure a full nights sleep! I have struggled in the past with salts that don’t dissolve properly leaving me feeling uncomfortable in the bath but these are amazing, they are so finely ground, dissolve straight away and the scent is so relaxing! The magnesium also helps to sooth tired muscles so these have become a firm favourite when I want to wind down and have some me time before bed!  

 

 

I haven’t noticed much difference with CBD oil before (I used to have one safe for ingesting) but the Calming CBD Oil RRP £12.50* is a nice little multi tasker – it’s a body, bath and shower oil scented with jasmine, patchouli and frankincense. I hate the scent of jasmine on its own but this blend matches the rest of the range and is very subtle and relaxing. I like to add a few drops into my bath or rub over my body before stepping into the shower but this can also be used on pulse points. It releases the scent, softens my body and helps me wind down!

 

I have previously spoken about the De-Stress Warming Body Balm RRP £10* back in this post and like I said then, forget warming, this stuff is HOT! At least to begin with! While I enjoy this I can imagine it would be a bit much for some people and whatever you do, wash your hands thoroughly before touching your face! Like with the rest of the range, I like to use this just before bed and let it do its work soothing any tight or tense muscles across my shoulders and calves. It warms up slowly so I would recommend starting with less product as it feels a little hot for a while before calming down to a lovely relaxing sensation and it feels so comforting! As well as the jasmine, patchouli and frankincense scent this is also infused with ginger and rosemary oil.

 

Finally, the Sleep Mist RRP £12* which I like to spritz over my pillows and duvet as I am getting into bed and from using the rest of the range, I’ve come to associate this scent with relaxing and bedtime so it’s become so soothing to me! You can also use this over your face as it includes hyaluronic acid as well as queen of the night extract and blue light protection. While I don’t have huge problems sleeping, I am pretty stressy and I do think these products help me relax and sleep deeper! This and the oil are also perfect for travelling with if you want something comforting if staying away from home! Sanctuary Spa have also conducted a study where the results show these products are clinically proven to help aid sleep and relaxation and 93% agreed the scent helped relax body and mind so don’t just take my word for it!

 

Sanctuary Spa is available from their website, Boots, Superdrug, Look Fantastic, Feel Unique and Next among others! They have a few bundles out at the minute for Christmas and are also often discounted or on 3 for 2 promotions!
