With a busy schedule that includes everything from working to grocery shopping and helping with homework, today's woman is lucky to steal a spare second for herself.A day at the spa may not fit into your calendar or your budget, but you can relax and rejuvenate with a pampering home spa experience. With help from Garden Botanika's Immerse Home Spa Collection, you can find bliss in your own bathroom.
These plant-based botanical treatments soothe both body and soul, washing away stress and tension while stimulating circulation and aiding in detoxification. "The spa collection is newly formulated with our rich Marine Mineral Complex to help women rebalance and to replenish their skin's essential nutrients,"
says Lisa Springer, product development manager for Garden Botanika.
She explains that Marine Mineral Complex contains sea salt and sea water, which carries extracts of brown algae. All are rich in minerals that replenish, aid detoxification, and increase the skin's ability to hold moisture.The spa collection contains a variety of pampering products, but Springer has a few favorites. One recommendation is the Marine Salt Scrub Souffle, and the Skin Renewing Body Lotion, both of which contain Marine Mineral Complex. "The souffle exfoliates and moisturizes with sea salts and tropical oils, while the body lotion speeds up the skin's natural renewal process with alpha and beta hydroxy acids,"
she says.
Springer also shared her special recipe for a luxurious in-home foot treatment: Add a few capfuls of Foaming Foot Soak to a warm footbath (for added moisture, you may also add a tablespoon of Sea Salt Mineral Soak to the water as well) and soak feet for about 10 minutes. Use the Souffle to exfoliate, rinse, and then slather on High Intensity Foot Treatment, with its refreshing rosemary, mint scent. Then tuck feet into Garden Botanika's Immersion Booties to help the lotion penetrate and moisturize.
Immersion Booties are just one of the accessories that make the in-home spa experience complete. Other special additions include Immersion Gloves; Soothing Eye Gels to comfort and revive tired eyes; Hand and Foot Cozies filled with flaxseed and scented with mint, lavender and sweet orange, which can be used heated or chilled for comforting relief.
Why not go the extra mile and set the stage for your home spa:
* Lay out a generous supply of the nicest towels in the house.
* Buy some gently scented candles (or raid other rooms in the house), and place them strategically around the bathroom.
* Cue up your favorite relaxing music on the CD player.
Garden Botanika products are available online or in their catalog. "We no longer operate retail stores,"
