Vanity has been given much attention and focus right now. You can blame celebrities for it, or the media for hyping up the need for beautifying, relaxing and pampering oneself from time to time. You see evidence among the the sprouting of spas and salons like mushrooms everywhere in the metropolis. Even the sales of bath products are booming. The downside to this all is that sometimes due to the over flux of supplies in the market, consumers no longer can tell the difference.
Hothouse Botanicals guarantees that all their products are 100% Vegan, 100% organic, contains no animal ingredients and have never been tested on animals. I am actually drawn to a nicely-packaged bath product and theirs are no exception.
This is their lavender scent collection – (from L-R) the aromatherapy bath salt, body butter, fizzy foaming aromatherapy bath, whipped sugar scrub and soy scented candle.
I love body scrubs, if only I can afford to have it done at spas every week I would. But getting this complete line would be close as I just need to set the mood in the bathroom, light candles, set in the bubble bath and relax in the tub.
What scent do you like?
Sunscreen. Even if dark clouds block the sun, damaging UVA and UVB rays still manage to infiltrate this shade and cause our skin to burn, darken, and age prematurely. Be sure to always have a supply of sunscreen in your boudoir as your skin’s year-round protection. Try Nivea, Banana Boat, Watsons, and Coppertone.
Conditioner. One of the very few things you probably hate about summer is how it causes your hair to dry up. So never neglect hair conditioning during your bath ritual. Stock up on conditioners that are meant to provide your hair added protection from the sun, such as Creamsilk Summer Shine. This way, you have vibrant and silky hair no matter what season!
Body scrubs. So you’ve burned yourself golden, but pretty soon, that tanned look will be out of style. How to deal? Simply exfoliate. Scrub out your dead skin cells to reveal radiant and smooth skin. Get a yummy-smelling body scrub that brings back summer memories in the process. Try Radox Body Wash, Shower Gel, and Body Scrub.
Facial masks. You shouldn’t neglect your face in the attempt to restore your radiant complexion. Treat your tired, dry, sun-damaged skin to a rejuvenating D-I-Y facial mask. Try Watsons Label facial essence masks (available in Green Tea and Bird’s Nest).
Lip balm. It’s a big peeve to get really chapped lips during summer, as the heat burns and makes our lips dry. Unfortunately, no matter what season, the sun can always damage the delicate skin of our pouters. Protect your lips with a lip balm that has moisturizers and SPF, such as this one from Watsons.
Umbrella. In summer, it shielded you from the sun’s intense heat. Now, it protects you from frequent rain showers. With such unpredictable weather conditions, every woman should be armed with an umbrella all year round. Check out Watsons’ collection of cute and affordable umbrellas.
All products are available in Watsons branches nationwide.
