Hello
I thought today I would talk about the Sanctuary Hot Sugar Scrub.
This isn't something that I would buy for myself usually - my boss actually got me this for Christmas. I'm glad she did though because I absolutely love it, it has the usual Sanctuary fragrance and this product is described as a "thermal scrub for deeply
cleansed and super-refined skin", I would agree with this as my skin always feels so soft and lovely after using. It is quite a strange feeling at first as it contains thermal zeolite to create the warming sensation. The scrub also contains detoxifying kaolin clay to draw out impurities while the
sugar sloughs away dead cells.
This isn't something I would necessarily repurchase as it is £11.50 for a 550g tub and is one of those things that isn't absolutely essential. That being said I have had this for 5 months now and I am about half way through the tub but I don't use this all the time, just when my skin is playing up. This would be lovely as part of a gift for someone though or if you fancy something a bit different.
Have you tried anything from the Sanctuary range? What are your favorites? Thank-you for reading and please feel free to leave a comment :)

Hello
On a Friday after work I like to have a bit of a pamper night and generally relax! I've had quite a hectic week at work with meetings with the bigwigs and two exams on Thursday. I cannot wait until this NVQ is over honestly.
One of the main features of a pamper night for me is a lovely hot bubble bath and a face mask. As I suffer from oily skin prone to breakouts then this is the one I reach for most often.
The directions say leave on for 15 minutes but I usually just leave it on until I can feel it hardening (about 30 minutes). I have never had an adverse reaction so I don't really think it matters.
I don't really know what is going on with my hair and general face in this picture but here we have the mask in action:
The actual dispenser is a pump so very hygienic without any waste of product. It is quite a thick clay based mask which is designed to absorb sebum, reduce pore size and calm the skin overall.
My main gripe with this is that the smell is quite off-putting, like sulphur. In other reviews I have read people find it just smells medicinal, but for me it is a lot stronger!
I can get over the smell though for the fact that it actually works, my skin produces less oil and feels really smooth but not dry. Coming in at £30 for 50ml it isn't cheap but if you do suffer with problematic skin then I think it is worth investing in skincare that does the job.
As always thanks for reading and please leave a comment, it really makes my day :)
Bit of a festive picture of Karl there, this was taken on Christmas day hence the wooden turkey and cracker :)
