The Sanctuary Spa was originally opened for dancers at the Royal Opera house as a place to relax and unwind. Don\u2019t worry though, you don\u2019t have to be a dancer to use their products. I don\u2019t know my tutus from my pli\u00e9s and I was able to try the products in their Spa Gorgeous Skin set. <\/p>\n
Salt Scrub<\/strong><\/p>\n Good for: <\/strong>Very rough skin, dull skin. <\/strong> After rinsing away the salt there was still an oily coating on my skin, same as with a lot of scrubs. Using the body butter straight after rinsing away the scrub will lock in all those lovely oils. It\u2019s a fantastic scrub except if you\u2019re in a hurry as it wakes a while to rinse away all the oil left on the skin. It\u2019s definitely one for a relaxing night in rather than a quick shower before heading out. \u00a0<\/p>\n Body Scrub<\/strong><\/p>\n Good for: <\/strong>Everyday, rough skin, skin that gets sore when using coarser scrubs Body Butter<\/strong><\/p>\n Good For: <\/strong>All skin types, very dry skin, winter skin. The third jar in the set is body butter. It\u2019s as luscious as the other Sanctuary products in the set. The butter is crammed with vitamin E, cocoa butter and creamy shea butter and is supposed to deliver instant results. It as a lovely rich smell which comes from the macadamia and sweet almond oils used in the formula. <\/p>\n I absolutely adore scrubs and body butters (what woman doesn\u2019t?) and I found that these products worked really well together. The body butter feels wonderful and soothing after using the salt scrub and as it contains oil, it\u2019s lovely to use when skin is still warm from the bath or shower.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\nThe Salt Scrub contains Dead Sea Salts with coconut, jojoba and sweet almond oils designed to resurface skin texture and leave it feeling super smooth. It\u2019s a very coarse scrub, if you tipped the jar over it wouldn\u2019t budge so I had to really dig in to get it out. Sounds like hard work, but it\u2019s worth it. It\u2019s very intensive and works really well on rough areas of skin such as the elbows and feet. <\/p>\n

\nThe second scrub in the set is a bit gentler and can be used every day. It promises to rejuvenate, and smooth your skin with its natural ingredients; orange oil and pumice. It\u2019s a lot less grainy than the salt scrub so the immediate results aren\u2019t as noticeable. When used daily for a few days however I noticed a difference in my skin. It was smoother than after using a normal shower gel. \u00a0<\/p>\n
