Arran Aromatics Feel Good Formulas Lavender & Black Pepper Mineral Muscle Soak



Arran Aromatics Feel Good Formulas Lavender & Black Pepper Mineral Muscle Soak* - £9

I've been doing Jillian Michaels proud lately. Her infamous exercise DVDs have become a part of my daily routine and they've got me feeling pretty fantastic. Well, apart from the DOMS that is. When an intense combo of planks, pushups, squats & burpees begins to work muscles you didn't even know you had, delayed onset muscle soreness becomes an unpleasant inevitability. There's nothing quite like a nice long soak in the bath to sort out all your aches & pains. In the past I've mainly stuck to cosy bubble baths & luxurious baths oils but right now it’s all about the salts. Having fallen in love with Arran Aromatics' wonderful Sea Salt Scrub, their Lavender & Black Pepper Mineral Muscle Soak sounded far too heavenly to resist.

Bath salts are fairly akin to bath oils in that neither one will fill your bath with foam or bubbles. They both offer heady aromas which are sure to leave you feeling tranquil & ready for bed. However salts are the better option if you're looking to detox your body instead of hydrating it. Presented in another lovely kilner jar, this glorious pot of bath salts will instantly transform your regular bedtime bath into a truly indulgent soak. The jar contains a soothing blend of sea salt, lavender essential oil, dried lavender & black pepper. These ingredients work together to naturally boost your circulation, draw out toxins & warm up any aching muscles. It is the ultimate relaxation blend. It makes my whole body feel completely de-stressed & well rested. There's nothing better if you're looking for twenty-odd minutes of peace at the end of a long day.

This dreamy Lavender & Black Pepper combo is one of the loveliest bath products I've ever tried. I cannot even begin to tell you how incredible it smells! When you pop open the lid the lavender fragrance hits you immediately. It becomes even more potent once added to your bath. A small handful of this salty mixture dissolved in a hot bath is all you need for an unrivalled aromatherapeutic experience. It's such a rich & full scent that will soon set you on the path to the land of nod. It completely fills your bathroom & the scent stays on your body for such a long time. I don't think I've ever come across another bath product that I can still smell on my skin several hours later. I know I'm always in for a good night's sleep after soaking in these salts. My muscles & joints feel thoroughly at ease & I wake up feeling ready for another date with Jillian. The only trouble is actually getting out of the bath & into my bed!
